MediaCaster: Cast your videos

LightWorker

About this app

MediaCaster — your library, your way.

Cast your videos to any Chromecast or DLNA smart TV, and enjoy a fast, clean player for everything on your device. Built for reliability, with a bold cyberpunk look.

CAST TO YOUR TV
- Send your videos to Chromecast and DLNA-compatible smart TVs in seconds
- Playback keeps running in the background — lock your phone or switch apps and the TV keeps playing
- Automatic recovery from network hiccups, so a brief stall gets back on track on its own

WIDE CODEC SUPPORT
- Plays H.265 (HEVC) and H.264 (AVC) with hardware acceleration
- Handles many other formats via a built-in engine, including AVI, DivX/Xvid, MPEG, and more
- 4K playback support

A PROPER VIDEO PLAYER
- Smooth, responsive local playback
- Gesture controls: swipe for volume and brightness, slide to seek
- Pinch to zoom and change aspect ratio
- Picture-in-Picture — keep watching while you use other apps
- Playback speed control and audio boost
- Auto-hiding controls, tap to show or hide, and a lock to prevent accidental touches

SUBTITLES
- Load external SRT and VTT subtitle files
- Switch between embedded subtitle tracks
- Adjust subtitle timing when they're out of sync

YOUR LIBRARY, ORGANISED
- Browse your videos by folder for quick, clutter-free navigation

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
