A free DLNA renderer for Android

Most DLNA apps only act as controllers or servers. LocalCast also runs as a renderer — meaning your phone can be the target of a DLNA "Play To" command from a NAS, Plex, Kodi, Windows Media Player or any control-point app on your network.

DLNA renderer — FAQ

A DLNA renderer is the device that plays the content. There are three roles in the DLNA model: servers store media, control points pick what to play, and renderers do the playback. LocalCast can act as all three, but most users enable renderer mode to receive Play To commands from another device.
