FAQ

My LG TV sees the server but not every file. Why?

Some TVs filter unsupported formats or take time to scan larger libraries. Start with a small folder containing a common MP4 file.

Can I keep using my Mac while it streams?

Yes. The app runs in the background from the menu bar.

Does this send my files to a cloud service?

No. It is local network streaming between your Mac and devices on the same network.
