Cast to Kodi-solution

I have a 16.04 box running Kodi (15.2+dfsg1-3ubuntu1), and would like to have a cast to Kodi-option.
I'm aware that Kodi supports AirPlay, but support for this on Android phones, Windows and OpenSuSE clients is limited. The browser used on clients is Chrome / Chromium, and thus a Chromecast-like solution would be preferred.
I don't need exactly what Chromecast provides; installing additional plugins/software (on both clients and Kodi) is acceptable.
A solution that can stream movies stored on the remote device, and content like YouTube is preferred over a solution that only works with limited media types.
So is there any good way to cast content from Chrome / Chromium on Windows, Android and Linux, to Kodi?

Kodi supports UPNP/DNLA out-of-the-box (see the wiki here)!
There is pretty decent support for this across platforms
UPNP/DNLA plugin for Chrome here and another one here
UPNP/DNLA on Windows
UPNP/DNLA on OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, etc- and there is an abundance of Apps for Android

Oh yeah, I did exactly this! Well slightly different.
My Kodi was a recalbox https://recalbox.com
And my caster is Plex https://plex.tv (on my desktop)
Plex is fantastic, there is a free option, and it does a lot of cover parsing for your movies. I have plex server on my desktop. You browse to your server localhost:32400 with chrome and you can edit your library there. Plex supports UPNP and a bunch of transcoding options.
