Fix for not being able to stream mp3/flac from Windows 10 (32/64) #79

Hi guys,

Created this account just to give you the solution for not being able to stream mp3/flac from windows 10 (32/64)

*_Install ITunes from Apple and then it doesn't matter where the software is located or if you din or did not run the .bat file. It simply works_** You can use any player you like for streaming music (Groove, WinAmp etc...) but ITunes also needs to be installed on your system.

Not sure why this is happening but i had it working on my desktop where my iphone was syncing with Itunes and when I did the same steps on my laptop with no ITunes installed it simply didn't work for mp3/flac (casting from Chrome was working properly). What i notice was that it simply did not start the ffmpeg.exe when looking in the Task Manager and so i started replicating all condition that were on my desktop until it finally worked :)

Anyway, I hope this fix will work for everyone and a big thanks to acidhax for creating this!!!!

This much earlier version linked here works well on win 10 64 bit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Chromecast/comments/3tizl1/test_windows_cast_your_pc_audioout_to_the/

Please can we have it working with latest version?
