  Linux users may have problems installing using pip. Two additional libraries that I have modified need to be installed:

  pip install git+https://github.com/xfangfang/pyperclip.git
  

  See this for Linux compatibility

Usage

• For ordinary users
  After opening this app, a small icon will appear in the menubar / taskbar / desktop panel, then you can push your media files from a local DLNA client to your computer.

• For advanced users

  1. By loading the Macast-plugins, Macast can support third-party players like IINA and PotPlayer.
     For more information, see: #how-to-use-third-party-player-plug-in
  2. You can modify the shortcut keys or configuration of the default mpv player by yourself, see: #how-to-set-personal-configurations-to-mpv

• For developer
  You can use a few lines of code to add support for other players like IINA and PotPlayer or even add additional features, like downloading media files while playing videos.
  Tutorials and examples are shown in: Macast/wiki/Custom-Renderer.
