Macast is a cross-platform menu bar application that turns your computer into a DLNA Media Renderer using mpv as the playback engine. It lets users push videos, pictures, and music from mobile phones or other DLNA clients to their desktop.
Use cases
- cast videos from my phone to my computer
- use my desktop as a DLNA media renderer
- play music from a mobile DLNA app on my PC
- receive screen media pushes over UPnP
- use IINA or PotPlayer as a DLNA renderer
When to choose
- you want a free, open-source DLNA renderer on macOS, Windows, or Linux
- you prefer mpv or want to plug in third-party players like IINA or PotPlayer
- you need a lightweight menu bar app rather than a full media server
When to avoid
- you need a full DLNA media server to share a library rather than a renderer
- you need Chromecast or AirPlay support instead of DLNA
- you need actively maintained software with recent releases
