Subtitle casting is the one thing most casting setups quietly drop; BubbleCast was built to get it right.

BubbleCast streams your local videos and photos (downloads, recordings, camera footage, screenshots) to your TV. Works with Chromecast and with DLNA-compatible smart TVs from Samsung, LG, Sony, Philips and more. Demanding files — MKV, HEVC/x265, DTS audio, embedded subtitles — just play.

Subtitles, done properly
• Reads subtitle tracks embedded inside MKV files and shows them on the TV.
• External SRT, VTT and ASS files supported, with a size slider and live preview.
• Blu-ray (PGS) and DVD image subtitles are blended into the picture.

Plays the formats your TV can't
• HEVC, x265 and HDR videos are converted on the phone in real time and start playing in seconds. HDR is tone-mapped. No PC or server needed.
• Movies with DTS or TrueHD sound are detected and the audio converted, so a film never plays silent.
• Multi-language files show an audio-track selector (language, codec, channels). Switch tracks while playing.
• DLNA smart TVs receive the original file and decode it natively — 4K, HEVC and HDR stay untouched.
• Automatic recovery: rejected files, silent failures and stuck buffering fall back to a working path by themselves.

Photos on the big screen
• Cast any photo from your phone full-screen to the TV.
• Browse your whole gallery inside the app — tap a photo to display it.
• Photos stream straight to the TV; nothing is converted and nothing leaves your network.

Comfortable to live with
• Resume where you left off, and auto-play the next video.
• Seek on converted streams, with 10 and 30 second skips.
• A built-in connection check explains network problems in plain language.
• The app speaks your language: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Polish and Portuguese.

Private by design
Your videos and photos never leave your home network — the streaming server runs inside the app. No account, no sign-up, no tracking, no analytics, no cloud.

Fair pricing
The app is free and shows no ads. Videos that need real-time conversion play free at full quality for 30 minutes per session; one single purchase unlocks unlimited conversion. No subscription, ever.

Good to know
BubbleCast plays your own local files; it does not cast websites or streaming services. Fire TV and Roku have no open casting support built in, so they are not reached out of the box — though a Fire TV running a DLNA-capable app such as Kodi will appear as a smart TV target. Requires Android 10+ and a compatible receiver on the same Wi-Fi network. ## Rankings - #2,122,944 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE` - `android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATE` - `android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES` - `android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO` - `android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VISUAL_USER_SELECTED` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.bubblecast.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [FlowCast: Cast Videos to TV](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.xuark.cast) — 10 users - [Cast to TV - DLNA & Chromecast](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.aicareles.dlnaclient) — 42,327 users - [CastAny - Cast web video to TV](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.infinity.app.webplayer) — 11,870 users - [Cast To TV](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.photomedia.sixpack.men.photo.editor) — 123,925 users, 4.63 / 5 - [MediaCaster: Cast your videos](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.whitehat4hire.mediacaster) — 19 users - [CHD Player - Cast Video to TV](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.chd.videoplayer) — 61,426 users, 3.74 / 5 - [Cast Media](https://chrome-stats.com/d/biz.thumbsapps.castmedia) — 1,663 users - [Cast to TV & Control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.casttv.screenmirroring.castvideo) — 670 users - [Castify: Cast to TV & Mirror](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.castify.castify) — 585 users - [Cast To TV: Play Media](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.castto.tv.photo.video.viewer.tool) — 120,272 users - [ProCast-TV Cast/ScreenMirror](https://chrome-stats.com/d/casttotv.casttochromecast.tvcast) — 3,324 users - [Cast to TV, Chromecast & Roku](https://chrome-stats.com/d/cast.video.screenmirroring.casttotv) — 78,639,514 users, 4.52 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.bubblecast)
