DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) is a standard that lets devices share media over a local network. Your NAS or media server shares files, and your TV or streaming device plays them — all without cloud services or internet.
LocalCast works with any DLNA/UPnP compliant server: Synology, QNAP, WD My Cloud, Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, Windows Media Player, MiniDLNA, Serviio, and more.
Generally yes. With DLNA, your server streams directly to the receiver (TV). With SMB, the stream routes through your phone, which can affect performance. Use DLNA when possible.
Most Smart TVs from Samsung, LG, Sony, Philips, and Panasonic have built-in DLNA support. Xbox consoles also work as DLNA receivers.
