ES File Explorer on phone/tablet and Chromecast plugged into the TV, set the PC to share the folders with the video in. Only has issues with avi files and DTS audio. Of if you have PS3/PS4 on the TV downstairs you have to set up mediaserver streaming on Windows Media Player.
Shockingly, the easiest might be an Ouya with XMB as that has no issue with avi.

You could run Plex on the PC which Chromecast does offically support.
What sort of video is it? Local files or streams from the internet?
A simple DLNA streamer is PS3 Media Server - http://www.ps3mediaserver.org/

Tried the streaming for the ps3 but just could not get it to work tried the ps3 media server and setting up windows for it but the ps3 and windows 10 would not recognize each other
