Two free companion apps for Crynet Showcase. Browse everything from your phone and cast it to the TV, or open the library straight on Android TV. Your Windows PC stays the host and does the heavy lifting.
Free · Needs Crynet Showcase on your Windows PC · Android 7.0+
Pick a title on your phone. Crynet Showcase on your Windows PC sends it to the TV over your home Wi-Fi, and the phone becomes the remote.
Pick a title on your phone and press Cast.
The phone asks your PC for it.
Crynet Showcase on the PC streams it to the TV over Wi-Fi.
The TV shows it. The phone is just the remote; the video never touches it.
Pick a title and press Cast. The phone only sends the request, it never plays video.
Crynet Showcase on your Windows PC streams the file over your home Wi-Fi.
Chromecast, Google TV or a DLNA smart TV plays it. Your phone becomes the remote.
The phone asks, the PC streams, the TV shows. The video never travels through the phone. Your PC has to be on and on the same network as the TV. Casting works with Chromecast and Google TV devices and with DLNA smart TVs. Or skip the hop altogether: the Android TV app plays straight from the PC.
Crynet Showcase for Android puts the whole library in your hand. The watching happens on the TV.
The whole library with artwork: movies and series, down to the episode. It is cached on the phone, so browsing works even when the PC is off.
Pick a title and the PC streams it to your TV. Play, pause, skip 10 seconds, seek, next episode, stop. The controls sit in the notification shade and on the lock screen.
Mark watched, rate, and pick up where you left off with Up next and Continue watching. Everything syncs to the PC and to Trakt.
Search the whole TMDb catalogue, keep a list, see a calendar of upcoming episodes, get notified when they air, and put Up next on your home screen as a widget.
Scan the QR code on the PC's Phone page (Setup > Phone) or type the 6-digit code. The app finds the PC on the Wi-Fi by itself and remembers more than one PC.
It never plays video on the phone. The TV is for watching. The phone is for choosing, controlling and keeping track.
Crynet Showcase for Android TV opens your library right on the TV. No phone in the loop, no casting: it talks to the PC directly.
Works on Android TV and Google TV with Google Play. Other Android-based boxes are not supported.
Both apps are on Google Play.
Both apps need Crynet Showcase running on your Windows PC. It is the host: it keeps the library and streams the files. About Crynet Showcase
