AltaPlays

AltaPlays is a powerful and easy-to-use web video casting app that lets you stream videos, and media directly from your phone to your TV.

Key Features:

Web Browser with Video Detection: Browse any website, and AltaPlays will automatically detect the playable video content.

Cast to Multiple Devices: Supports casting to popular devices — Chromecast, Roku, DLNA-enabled TVs, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and more.

Supported Media: Works with many video formats (e.g., MP4), live streams (HLS / m3u8), and local media (videos, photos, audio).

Subtitle Support: Automatically picks up subtitles from web pages.

Battery Saver: Since the video is cast by sending the URL to the TV and not mirroring the entire screen, your phone uses less battery.
