## What it is
NymphCast is an open-source audio and video casting system that turns Linux-capable hardware such as a Raspberry Pi into a network media receiver for TVs or powered speakers. It includes a client library and SDK, player apps for desktop and Android, and supports AngelScript-based server apps for extending functionality.

## Use cases
- cast music from my phone to speakers connected to a Raspberry Pi
- stream video to a TV over the local network
- self-hosted alternative to Chromecast
- build a multi-room audio system with my own hardware
- add casting support to my own app via an SDK
- extend a media receiver with custom apps for online services

## When to choose
- you want an open-source, self-hosted casting solution on your own hardware
- you use Raspberry Pi or other Linux-capable devices as receivers
- you need a client SDK to integrate casting into custom applications

## When to avoid
- you need polished, plug-and-play consumer casting like Chromecast or AirPlay
- you require wide codec/DRM support for commercial streaming services
- you need a fully stable production system, since some features are experimental
