Microsoft is building a new Edge that is based on Chromium. As you’d expect, there are many features that are in Google Chrome. One of which is casting media to a second screen.
Microsoft is rolling out its all-new chromium-based version of Microsoft Edge to Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and macOS this fall. And you can install the chromium-based Edge beta right now. Since it’s based on Google’s Open Source Chromium code, you’ll find many similarities to Chrome. And one of the cool features it includes is the ability to stream or “cast” media to your Google Chromecast. This allows you to send media from the browser to a second screen. Here’s how to do it.
Nov 06, 2019 Step #3. Next, select your Chromecast device where you would like to watch the flick or the show. Now, go ahead and enjoy Apple TV Plus on your Android TV. Once you have watched the content, head over to the address bar in Chrome on your computer → Cast and choose Stop. Cast a Chrome Tab from Android Device to Android TV.

With Video & TV Cast you can browse through the web and stream any online video on your Chromecast (movies.
Cast Media from Microsoft Edge
To get started, head to the page with the media you want to send over to the big screen or monitor. Then click the Menu button and choose More Tools > Cast Media to Device.
That will add a “Cast” button to the upper right corner of the browser. If you’re an avid YouTube viewer it will be familiar. The “Cast tab” will find all the Chromecast devices on your network. And you can choose which device you want to send the media to.
The audio or video on the page will start playing on whatever device you send it to. To stop casting the media, click the “Cast” button again and then “Stop Casting” from the menu.
It’s also worth noting that the casting feature isn’t just for audio and video. You can use this feature to send your browser’s screen to a second screen with a connected Chromecast. That is handy when you are using Office Online and want to display a PowerPoint presentation on a second screen, for example.

If you’re still running the original or “old” version, you can stream media from that Edge, too. The new version of Edge is much improved compared to the original Edge that was released with Windows 10 in 2015. It’s really worth giving a try and digging into.

Feb 2016: This guide is now outdated, please see my updated guide @ https://vandragt.com/2016/02/traktor-streaming-setup and is just offered for historical reasons.
Introduction
Many people do not use Traktor because by default it does not broadcast to shoutcast streams. Shoutcast is by far the most popular stream format used by internet radio. Traktor can only broadcast to icecast streams. Therefore we need to setup an private icecast server and a program to convert the icecast stream into a shoutcast stream. This document is a work in progress.

Important note: I recommend using the rare VIP edition because it fixes low frequency distortion problems that are present in version 3.1.11 You can install these on seperate computers or on the same computer. For the purposes of this tutorial I will assume you have installed the various software on one machine.
Configuration
First we will setup the Icecast server.
Then we will setup Stream Transcoder to receive audio from the Icecast server and connect to another shoutcast server, for example the internet radio station.
Then we will setup Traktor to broadcast to the Icecast server.
I might be able to simplify these configuration files but atm it's based on my actual configuration that I don't want to mess up. After setting up a testing system I will revise these to the most minimal configuration.
Icecast
Edit configuration - first thing you do is change the password obviously:
Icecast configuration

Now we need to make sure that our settings are working.
Traktor and icecast
Start Icecast and click Start Server
Start Traktor and press the broadcast button
Back in Icecast select the Source Level Stats tab. Verify there is a source called traktor.ogg
Icecast and stream transcoder
Make sure you have a link between traktor and icecast first
Start Stream Transcoder
Click connect
Verify that the Ready to connect line will change to read Connected to source
The first encoder line will change its status from Disconnected to Connected
Listen to the stream to verify that you are on air.
