Browse on your phone. Watch on the TV — same Wi‑Fi, no account.
PlayBridge is a local-network bridge: a sender pushes media and a receiver plays it. Phone, extension, Desktop, CLI, TV — mix any pair on the same Wi‑Fi. No account, no cables, no cloud.
Put PlayBridge on the screen you watch on — Android TV, Apple TV, Desktop, or the CLI with mpv.
Phone app, browser extension, Desktop, or CLI — anything that can push media to a receiver.
They discover each other automatically. On first connect, type the 6-digit code from the receiver into the sender; paired devices stay trusted.
Pick a video on your sender and cast — it plays on the receiver instantly.
Install a receiver where you watch. Then cast to it from any sender — Desktop and the CLI do both.
The Android sender includes a GeckoView browser with uBlock Origin. It detects direct files, HLS, DASH, and page players — tap cast.
Phone Files lists the videos and audio stored on the phone. Pick one and it plays on the receiver, or open any file with the system picker.
First connect shows a 6-digit code on the receiver. Type it on the sender to set up an encrypted local link. Paired devices reconnect on their own.
Touchpad, D-pad, keyboard, transport, volume, and track selection — from the couch, while the video stays on the big screen.
Start an episode; the rest of the season can follow. Watch progress is remembered, and resume seeks the receiver to where you left off.
Android TV, Fire TV, Apple TV, and Desktop play with ExoPlayer, MPV, VLC, or AVPlayer depending on the device. DLNA / UPnP TVs need nothing installed.
