PhimCa: DLNA Cast NAS to TV

PhimCa turns your Android phone into a wireless remote and media bridge for the library you already own. Browse the files on your home network — NAS drives, Windows PCs, or any SMB/CIFS share — plus your cloud storage and the files on your phone, then play them locally or cast them to any DLNA or UPnP device on your Wi-Fi.

Whether you are sending a 4K movie to the living-room TV or streaming lossless FLAC to a hi-fi DAC, PhimCa delivers exactly the bits your files contain, in a dark glassmorphism interface built for OLED screens.

No streaming-service accounts. No web scraping. Just your own music and videos, on the screens and speakers you choose.

► CAST TO ANY DLNA / UPNP DEVICE

• Send video and audio to DLNA / UPnP smart TVs, projectors, AV receivers and network speakers

• Works with UPnP renderers across popular TV, projector and audio hardware brands

• Full transport controls: play, pause, seek, next, previous, shuffle and repeat

• Gapless casting — the next track is pre-loaded on the renderer, so your queue rolls on without a pause between tracks

• Background casting keeps going when the screen is locked or you switch apps

• Remembers your devices for instant reconnection

📁 BROWSE NAS, SMB, CLOUD AND LOCAL FILES

• Direct SMB / CIFS network browsing — Synology, QNAP, TrueNAS, Unraid, Windows PCs and Linux Samba

• Connects to modern SMB2 / SMB3 shares, with an opt-in path for older legacy NAS units

• Cloud storage through Android's system file picker — Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox and other providers that appear there

• Phone internal storage and SD card

• Simple browsing: pick a share, pick a file, press play

🎧 AUDIOPHILE BIT-PERFECT AUDIO

• A bit-perfect PCM path — no resampling, no hidden processing, no volume scaling, no float-output quantisation noise

• Lossless formats: FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, APE, WavPack (.wv) and high-rate PCM up to 192 kHz

• DSF / DSD playback (DSD64 and DSD128), converted in real time to 192 kHz 16-bit LPCM — the format high-end DLNA renderers and AV receivers decode natively

• Accurate protocol and MIME reporting, so your DAC or receiver is told exactly what it is being sent and has no reason to resample

🎬 VIDEO AND SUBTITLES

• MP4, MKV, AVI, MOV, WMV, WebM, M4V, MPG, TS, M2TS, FLV and more

• External subtitles — SRT, VTT, ASS, SSA — loaded straight from your network shares

• Switch subtitle tracks mid-playback, during an active cast

📺 SCREEN MIRRORING (Premium)

• Mirror your phone or tablet screen to a DLNA TV or projector

• Handy for photos, presentations and anything else on your display

🎵 BUILT FOR LISTENING

• Album cover art on the player, the playlist and your lock screen

• Lock-screen and notification controls with a live sample-rate and bitrate readout

• Playlists with drag-to-reorder and automatic queue advance

• Full-screen landscape player with large, easy-to-read controls

🌐 Available in 15 languages: English, Vietnamese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Portugal and Brazil), Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Arabic and Indonesian.

🔒 PRIVATE BY DESIGN

• Your media files and network credentials stay on your local Wi-Fi network

• Your library is never uploaded, indexed or analysed off-device — PhimCa's only outside connections are purchase verification and, on the free tier, ad serving

Playing media on your phone is free. Casting is free and ad-supported, with a 16-track cast queue limit. Screen mirroring is Premium. A single one-time purchase unlocks screen mirroring, removes all ads and lifts the cast queue limit — no subscriptions, ever.

Bring your own library to life on every screen and speaker in your home.
