If you have an Android device you can probably use MHL (if you want to see things on the screen) at which point you can use MediaMonkey for Android (iOS devices also have HDMI converters, but not MediaMonkey). I also believe BubbleUPnP on Android can stream to Chromecast (don't have Chromecast), I've used to stream MMW to DLNA clients and it works well for me (I stream video though). If you have Android 4.2 or newer you likely can use Miracast screen mirroring as well.
Otherwise you'll need to find a different hardware solution. Be wary though as many streaming devices (Roku is an example) don't have DLNA capabilities or may lack format support. There are however a plethora of client options like game consoles, networked receivers and dedicated media streamers available if you don't have a smart TV.
