MediaBridge

MediaBridge turns your Android phone or tablet into a personal media server. Stream any video or audio file from your device's storage to smart TVs, VLC, Kodi, Chromecast, and any DLNA-compatible player on your home Wi-Fi — no internet required, no subscription, no cloud, no account. KEY FEATURES • DLNA 1.5 / UPnP compatible — auto-discovered by Samsung, LG, Sony smart TVs, VLC, Kodi, and other DLNA clients • Built-in web player — stream to any browser, no app needed on the receiving device • Chromecast support — cast directly to any Cast device, with subtitle and audio-track selection • Resume playback — pick up exactly where you left off, consistent across the web player and Chromecast • Large file support — adaptive buffering tuned for files up to 10GB+ with smooth, stutter-free seeking • Full seek support — jump to any point in a file instantly via proper HTTP range requests • Recursive folder scanning — organizes your existing folder structure automatically, sort by name, size, or type • Automatic thumbnails — generated on-device for every video, no internet needed • PIN-protected access + QR code pairing — scan to connect instantly, control who can reach your library • Runs in the background — foreground service with a persistent notification and one-tap "copy URL" • Quick Settings tile — start or stop the server without opening the app • Wide format support — MP4, MKV, AVI, MOV, FLV, WEBM, 3GP, WMV, M4V, TS, MTS, MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, AAC, M4A, WMA, Opus HOW IT WORKS 1. Select a folder — MediaBridge scans it and every subfolder for media. 2. Tap Start Server. 3. On your TV or player, browse DLNA / Network / UPnP sources — your server name appears automatically. Or open the shown URL (or scan the QR code) in any browser. Or cast directly to a Chromecast. 4. Play, seek, pause — switch apps or lock your phone and the stream keeps going. PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED Storage access — to read the media files you choose to stream. Network — to run the local server and advertise it via DLNA discovery. Foreground service — to keep the server alive while you use other apps. Battery optimisation — to prevent Android from interrupting long streaming sessions. Everything stays on your home network. No data is ever uploaded, collected, or shared. See the Privacy Policy for full details.
