Re: simple iOS control app for controlling ChromeCast access/playback of content?
I've just had a look and there's really not many options out there for ios, they seem to be mainly players, but I've just spotted mconnect, have you tried that? I've just spent 5 minutes trying the Android version, and whilst it's no BubbleUPnP it seems to work ok, and identifies Chromecast devices natively (at least on android).Comment

Remember I said that it works with any OpenHome renderer; You'd need to use BubbleUPnP Server to add that functionality to your renderer.

On the other hand mconnect seems to play nice with DLNA and Chromecast devices (at least on Android), so you wouldn't need any work arounds, it does only appear to use album artwork though, and didn't recognise my OpenHome devices so it's not ideal - although I did only try the free version for 5 minutes.
On the MinimServer forums I've seen a lot of ios users buying Android phones/tablets just so they can use BubbleUPnP. There are a few tweaks I'd like to see to make it perfect, but it's by far the best control point out there.Comment
