## Description

AirPinCast - DLNA & UPnP is a versatile Chrome extension that allows you to stream media directly from your Android phone, tablet, or NAS (using Samba) to any DLNA/UPnP-enabled renderer such as smart TVs, Xbox 360, or media boxes. It supports connections with various DLNA/UPnP media servers like Twonky Media and Serviio, enabling seamless streaming of videos, music, and images.

This extension also offers features such as multi-language support (English and Chinese), image rotation, loopback play mode, and subtitle support (SRT/ASS/SSA) when using AirPin as the renderer. Additionally, it provides screen mirroring via USB to Android TV devices running the WirePin app, although device compatibility and performance may vary. Whether you want to share media effortlessly or mirror your device's screen, AirPinCast offers a reliable and comprehensive streaming solution.
