UPnP/DLNA streaming questions

UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is a standard network protocol that allows devices to discover each other and share media on a local network. LocalCast uses UPnP/DLNA to automatically find compatible devices like Smart TVs, media servers, NAS drives, and AV receivers, then streams your content directly to them.

DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) is built on top of UPnP. While UPnP handles device discovery and communication, DLNA adds specific guidelines for media formats, device types, and streaming behavior. In practice, most UPnP media devices are also DLNA-certified. LocalCast supports both standards seamlessly.

Most Smart TVs (Samsung, LG, Sony, TCL, Hisense), NAS devices (Synology, QNAP, WD), AV receivers, PlayStation and Xbox consoles, media servers (Plex, Emby, Jellyfin), and many soundbars support UPnP/DLNA. LocalCast discovers all compatible devices on your network automatically.

Simply open LocalCast and it will automatically scan your local Wi-Fi network for UPnP/DLNA devices. All discovered renderers and media servers appear in the device list. Tap any device to start streaming or browsing its content — no manual configuration needed.
