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. ## Rankings - #1,554,611 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NOTIFICATION_POLICY` - `android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE` - `android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PROJECTION` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.NEARBY_WIFI_DEVICES` - `android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.READ_MEDIA_AUDIO` - `android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES` - `android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO` - `android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` - `com.phimca.app.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [DLNA for Chromecast](https://chrome-stats.com/d/app.ainfo.chromecast.dlna) — 4,094 users - [Cast to TV - DLNA & Chromecast](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.aicareles.dlnaclient) — 42,169 users - [CastToTV – DLNA Streamer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mittcast.casttotv) — 669 users - [AnyDLNA - Any Cast/Chromecast](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.anydlna.android) — 41,165 users, 4.33 / 5 - [CastLink - DLNA/UPnP TV Cast](https://chrome-stats.com/d/io.mrigashirsha.castlink.upnp) — 2,318 users - [CastAny - Cast web video to TV](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.infinity.app.webplayer) — 11,781 users - [Simple UPnP Server: DLNA media](https://chrome-stats.com/d/jp.ubi.upnp.server) — 2,140 users - [Castie DLNA Android TV HiSense](https://chrome-stats.com/d/amo.castie.dlna.upnp) — 11,234 users, 4.25 / 5 - [TV Cast Pro for DLNA Smart TV](https://chrome-stats.com/d/de.twokit.video.tv.cast.browser.dlna.pro) — 4,733 users, 3.84 / 5 - [MediaBridge](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mediastream.server) — 102 users - [Fast Cast to you TV](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.qwc.timecast) — 438,286 users, 4.00 / 5 - [Cast Receiver - DLNA & AirPlay](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.aicareles.dlnaserver) — 173,707 users, 3.21 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.phimca.app)
