For most users who just want to stream personal media to their TV, yes. LocalCast handles video, music, and photo casting from your phone, NAS, cloud storage, and DLNA servers to any TV or streaming device. If you need Kodi-specific addons or a full HTPC experience, Kodi may still be useful alongside LocalCast.
Yes. If your Kodi installation has UPnP/DLNA sharing enabled, LocalCast can discover and browse your Kodi media library on your local network. You can then cast any content from your Kodi library to your TV or streaming device.
