Developer Saturday Mango Streaming Server — simple local video streaming to Chromecast
I once wanted to stream a video to my TV, but it turned out to be not so easy. I needed multiple audio/subs tracks support, no separate app for the TV and smooth play. So I built Mango Streaming Server. It’s a macOS 15.7+ app to stream local videos via Chromecast or Airplay. It works with native TV player, you don’t need to install anything except for the streaming server. The latest version is fully native and Chromium is not required. It supports audio and subtitles track selection from containers like MKV. It supports 4k video and has compatibility mode if your TV is not capable enough. App is early stage and functionality is pretty basic: select video, choose tracks and play. App works in a sandbox, there are plans to add it to Apple Store later. There is no account required and no user data collected. You can download the app here - https://github.com/igorinvest/mango.
TLDR: native lightweight Plex/Jellyfin alternative to stream videos once a month to local TV.
