What is ServerCast and how does it work?

ServerCast is a powerful tool that turns your mobile device into a local web server, allowing you to stream video and audio files to other devices on your WiFi network.

How does it work?

When you activate ServerCast, WhatPlay creates a web server on your device and provides you with a local IP address (for example: 192.168.1.100:8080). Any device connected to the same WiFi network can access this address from their web browser to view and play the content you're sharing.

Requirements

  • All devices must be connected to the same WiFi network
  • The device running ServerCast must remain active during streaming
  • A stable WiFi connection is recommended for better quality

Steps to use ServerCast

  1. Open WhatPlay and select the file or video you want to share
  2. Activate the ServerCast option from the menu
  3. WhatPlay will show you an IP address (example: http://192.168.1.100:8080)
  4. On another device (PC, tablet, Smart TV), open a web browser
  5. Enter the provided IP address
  6. Enjoy the content on the big screen!

Note: This feature is ideal for sharing personal videos, presentations, or any multimedia content without needing cables or additional devices like Chromecast.
