Is it possible to stream from the Google Chrome browser's Google Cast extension to a Roku player box?
The Google Cast extension for the Google Chrome browser uses a fairly Google-specific protocol, not DLNA, to stream stuff to the Chromecast HDMI dongle.
Roku 3 can be a DLNA client (the "sink" or "destination" or "output device" of the video stream, not the "server" or "source"). It is NOT a client for the protocol that Google Cast uses to stream to the Chromecast dongle.
If you have video or audio files on your PC that you want to stream to the Roku 3, install or configured a DLNA server software package on your PC. I believe the latest Windows Media Player for both Windows 7 and Windows 8.x can act as a DLNA server.

I know that some Roku player boxes are a DLNA compatible devices, but for some reason the Google Cast extension for the Google Chrome web browser doesn't find him.
Anything I should check?

Paul about 10 yearsBy the "google cast" extension, are you referring to the Google Chromecast extension that is designed to send to Chromecast receivers?
