DLNA questions answered

DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) is a standard that lets devices share and stream media over a local network. LocalCast acts as a DLNA control point: it discovers DLNA media servers (like your NAS or PC running Plex, Emby, or Jellyfin), lets you browse their content, and sends it to any DLNA renderer (like a Smart TV) for playback.

LocalCast works with any standards-compliant DLNA/UPnP media server. This includes Synology NAS, QNAP NAS, Western Digital NAS, Plex Media Server, Emby, Jellyfin, Windows Media Player network sharing, and any other UPnP AV media server. If it broadcasts on your network, LocalCast will find it.

Yes. LocalCast bridges the gap between DLNA and Chromecast. You can browse your DLNA server (NAS, PC) and cast the content to a Chromecast, Google TV, or any other casting device — not just DLNA renderers. This makes LocalCast unique among DLNA apps.

LocalCast offers a more modern, intuitive interface and supports a wider range of casting targets beyond just DLNA renderers — including Chromecast, Roku, Fire TV, and AirPlay devices. It also includes features like subtitle support, a built-in web browser, and cloud storage access that go beyond traditional DLNA apps.
