Senders and players.
Senders push content. Players receive and play it. They find each other on the local network.
Browse and pick on these — they push content to a player.

Anything ExoPlayer, MPV, VLC, or AVPlayer can play — essentially everything.
Yes. Paste any URL, drop in any file, point it at any media server.
