About MediaCaster: Cast your videos
MediaCaster — your library, your way.
Cast your videos to any Chromecast or DLNA smart TV, and enjoy a fast, clean player for everything on your device. Built for reliability, with a bold cyberpunk look.
CAST TO YOUR TV
- Send your videos to Chromecast and DLNA-compatible smart TVs in seconds
- Playback keeps running in the background — lock your phone or switch apps and the TV keeps playing
- Automatic recovery from network hiccups, so a brief stall gets back on track on its own
WIDE CODEC SUPPORT
- Plays H.265 (HEVC) and H.264 (AVC) with hardware acceleration
- Handles many other formats via a built-in engine, including AVI, DivX/Xvid, MPEG, and more
- 4K playback support
A PROPER VIDEO PLAYER
- Smooth, responsive local playback
- Gesture controls: swipe for volume and brightness, slide to seek
- Pinch to zoom and change aspect ratio
- Picture-in-Picture — keep watching while you use other apps
- Playback speed control and audio boost
- Auto-hiding controls, tap to show or hide, and a lock to prevent accidental touches
SUBTITLES
- Load external SRT and VTT subtitle files
- Switch between embedded subtitle tracks
- Adjust subtitle timing when they're out of sync
YOUR LIBRARY, ORGANISED
- Browse your videos by folder for quick, clutter-free navigation
- Resume where you left off, with playback history
- Build a playlist queue
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- Plays your own local files and streams only on your home network
- No account required, no tracking, no data collected
