About CastLab
CastLab casts photos, videos, and audio from an Android device to DLNA/UPnP and FCast receivers on the local network. Media can be selected from the gallery, a file picker, or online sources, and devices are discovered automatically using local network discovery methods. Users can browse media by album and filter by date range or media type, then create and manage playlists. Playback controls include play, pause, stop, seek, volume, and autoplay. Background playback continues with notification controls. The app can also extract video from web pages and cast it, and it supports casting from federated video sources through intermediary instances. M3U and M3U8 playlists can be imported, including playlists used for online streams. CastLab also supports screen sharing, so the Android display can be sent to a receiver in real time. The interface offers light, dark, automatic, and custom themes with several presets and follows Material Design 3. The product’s role is media casting and playback control; it does not state that the receiver itself stores or downloads media. The available information does not detail receiver compatibility beyond the named standards, network requirements, or which web sources can be extracted. CastLab is intended for users who want to play local or supported online media on compatible devices within their local network.
