NymphCast

Open-source software turning Linux hardware into a network media player

About NymphCast

NymphCast is open-source software that turns Linux-capable hardware, such as a Raspberry Pi, into an audio and video source for a television or powered speakers. Clients on desktop and Android stream local files or internet media to a NymphCast server over the network, control playback through the NymphCast Player app, and extend the system with AngelScript-powered apps and a client SDK for custom integrations.
