Q: dlna/upnp to chrome cast with iPhone as remote?

Hi guys after finding lots of streaming apps I cannot find one that does the above. I have a central WD Mybook Live drive that does all my back ups and has media video/photos on it too. On the Android system I've just left for an iPhone I could use the phone as remote via an app called bubbleupnp to connect that content to my Chromecast on the Tv and use the phone as a remote. Can I find that app on iOS I've looked, I've googled and nowt so far any help?

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

    I've tried a few apps and they're all rubbish! It really is quite remarkable - my flabber has never been so ghasted.

    The usual chancers saying that they've done it - but all lies, quite frankly.

    I've tried Music Streamer and Local Cast in an attempt to stream from uPNP or SMB to a Chromecast audio. How hard can it be?

    OK, I should just update this to say that Music Streamer did eventually work for me (off an SMB server, so I would assume a MyBook Live can do that) but it had a stupid interface - the trick is to find the playlists view and then you get a casting icon.
