Go2TV is a cross-platform application (with GUI and CLI modes) that casts video, audio, and image files to Smart TVs and Chromecast devices over the local network using DLNA/UPnP. It supports automatic device discovery, on-the-fly transcoding via FFmpeg, external and embedded subtitles, playlists, and casting live RTMP streams.
Use cases
- cast a video file from my laptop to my Samsung smart TV
- play local media on a Chromecast without a media server
- stream an OBS RTMP live stream to a Chromecast
- send videos with subtitles to a DLNA renderer
- build a playlist of videos and play them on the TV
- cast media from an Android phone to a smart TV
When to choose
- you want to play local media files on DLNA/UPnP Smart TVs or Chromecast without setting up a media server
- you need on-the-fly transcoding for unsupported formats via FFmpeg
- you want a lightweight tool with both GUI and CLI interfaces across desktop and Android
When to avoid
- you need a full media server with a library, metadata, and multi-user access (use Jellyfin or Plex instead)
- your target device supports neither DLNA/UPnP nor Chromecast
- you need AirPlay support for Apple TV devices
