Ubuntu 20.10 (and Linux distributions based on it, like Pop!_OS 20.10) does have pulseaudio-dlna in its repositories, but this package does not work properly, at least not with Chromecast devices (I can't test it with DLNA devices - it might work with those). And since Ubuntu 20.10 has pychromecast 7 in its repositories, that complicates things a bit if you want to use the Python 3 branch. But I got it to work with the help of a Python 3 branch fork, and this article explains everything to get pulseaudio-dlna to work in Ubuntu 20.10 / Pop!_OS 20.10 with Chromecast devices (it should also work with DLNA devices but like I said, I did not try it). [[Edit]] This now also works on Ubuntu 20.04, Linux Mint 20.x, Pop!_OS 20.04, etc.It's worth noting that Ubuntu 20.04 does not have pulseaudio-dlna in its repositories at all, but it does have pychromecast 4.1.0.Also, I didn't add instructions for other Linux distributions because this doesn't seem to work in a virtual machine (even though it's in the same network), so I couldn't test it properly. There are third-party packages for Fedora and Arch Linux (which use the same Python 3 branch and patch used in the instructions below), among others, so if you use those Linux distributions you can give those packages a try. If that doesn't work, use the Python 3 branch for of pulseaudio-dlna from here.Chromecast-related articles you might like:Stream Videos, Music And Pictures From Gnome To Chromecast With Cast To TV ExtensionHow To Cast Your GNOME Shell Desktop To A Chromecast (With Audio, Wayland / X11 Support) Using Cast to TVCommand Line Chromecast Player CATTif(typeof ez_ad_units!='undefined')ez_ad_units.push([[300,250],'linuxuprising_com-medrectangle-4','ezslot_1',115,'0','0']);__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-linuxuprising_com-medrectangle-4-0');How to install the Python3 pulseaudio-dlna Python branch fork on Ubuntu 20.10 / Pop!_OS 20.10 Or Ubuntu 20.04 / Linux Mint 20.x / Pop!_OS 20.041.

2. Remove pulseaudio-dlna if you had it installed from the Ubuntu repositories (only for Ubuntu 20.10; Ubuntu 20.04 / Linux Mint 20.x doesn't have this package in its repositories):sudo apt remove pulseaudio-dlnaif(typeof ez_ad_units!='undefined')ez_ad_units.push([[300,250],'linuxuprising_com-box-4','ezslot_6',113,'0','0']);__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-linuxuprising_com-box-4-0');4.

Extract the downloaded archive in your home folder (after extracting it, you should have a new folder /pulseaudio-dlna-0.6.1 - the version can be a newer one, in case new versions are released since I write this).Now you can install pulseaudio-dlna:cd /pulseaudio-dlna-0.6.1/man #the version number may be different if a new version is releasedgzip pulseaudio-dlna.1cd .. 2ff7e9595c
