Point LocalCast at any DLNA/UPnP media server, Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, miniDLNA or NAS drive on your Wi-Fi. Browse the library with thumbnails and folders, then cast to Chromecast, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV or your Smart TV. No desktop software, no account.
Automatically discover and browse DLNA/UPnP media servers on your local network. See your full library with thumbnails, metadata, and folders.
Sign in to Plex, or browse Jellyfin, Emby, Kodi and miniDLNA over DLNA. LocalCast lists every server it finds on the network, so you never type an IP address.
Connect to Synology, QNAP, and other NAS drives via DLNA, SMB, or FTP. Browse and stream your NAS media library directly to your TV.
Load external subtitles, queue whole folders for the evening, and let LocalCast transcode MKV, AVI or HEVC on the fly when the TV cannot play them natively.
Get LocalCast on Android or iOS. No account or sign-up required. Casting starts with a free trial of LocalCast Pro.
LocalCast automatically discovers DLNA/UPnP servers, NAS drives, and other media sources on your network.
Pick your content, tap cast, and stream to your TV, Chromecast, Fire TV, Roku, or any DLNA renderer.
LocalCast is the client side of a media server setup: it browses DLNA/UPnP servers and NAS drives on your network and streams their files to your TV. While casting a file stored on the phone, LocalCast runs a small local server so the TV fetches the video straight from the phone over Wi-Fi.
Any DLNA/UPnP server: Plex (with sign-in), Jellyfin, Emby, Kodi, miniDLNA, Serviio, Universal Media Server, Windows Media Player sharing, and the built-in DLNA servers of Synology, QNAP, Asustor and WD NAS drives. SMB, FTP and WebDAV shares work too.
No. LocalCast reads from the server and sends the stream to whatever you cast to: Chromecast, Google TV, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, AirPlay, Samsung and LG Smart TVs, or any DLNA renderer. The TV only needs to be on the same network.
Yes. If a Chromecast or Smart TV rejects an MKV, AVI or HEVC file, LocalCast transcodes it on the phone in real time and streams a compatible version, so the file still plays without converting it on a computer first.
