Cast videos, music and photos from your phone, from any website with the built-in browser, from your NAS or cloud drive, or from an IPTV playlist to any Roku player or Roku TV over DLNA — nothing to install on the Roku. When the Roku cannot play a file (MKV, HEVC, AAC 5.1 or DTS audio), LocalCast converts it on the phone while streaming.
Works with every Roku device: Express, Premiere, Ultra, Streaming Stick, Streaming Stick+, and any TV with Roku built in.
LocalCast uses the DLNA protocol to stream directly to your Roku. No pairing codes, no additional apps on the Roku side.
Stream from your phone storage, NAS drives, cloud storage like Google Drive and Dropbox, or use the built-in web browser.
Line up multiple files and binge-watch without touching your phone. Create playlists for movie nights or music sessions.
Get LocalCast free on Android or iOS. No account or sign-up required.
Select a video, photo, or music file from your phone, cloud storage, or the web.
Select your Roku from the device list and enjoy on the big screen. It’s that simple.

Roku players cannot decode some audio tracks — AAC 5.1, EAC3 (Dolby Digital Plus) and DTS are the usual ones — so the video plays silently. LocalCast detects this and converts just the audio track on the phone while streaming; keep Settings → Transcoding → Automatically convert incompatible videos switched on. Sound without picture is the same problem with the video codec (typically HEVC 10-bit) and is handled the same way.
