Hi Hunters, TLDR for this Medium post: https://medium.com/@SofaPlayApp/... - SofaPlay for Mac is a UPnP/DLNA streaming app to stream movies and videos from your Mac to your Smart TV (Samsung, LG, Xbox 360/One …). - UPnP/DLNA support is often buggy, hard to debug and sometimes just not implemented right by Smart TV manufacturers. - We built SofaPlay TV, a client for Apple TV using the same UPnP/DLNA standard to control the whole experience. - With this vertical integration, we can get the whole experience right. - SofaPlay TV is as simple as possible. - Open the app on both your Mac and Apple TV - It connects (there is a nice *bling* sound. …) - On your Mac, just drag and drop a file into SofaPlay. - It begins playing on your (Apple) TV. If you have any questions or feedback, I would be more than happy to answer them :-)

How does this compare to Beamer https://beamer-app.com or VLC?

@tomflemming As far as I know, Beamer uses Apple's AirPlay to stream to Apple TV. AirPlay only supports a few video codecs, all other are transcoded by Beamer in the background. This isn't an optimal solution. VLC is totally fine. We just wanted to make a really easy and simple solution that works for most of our users :-)

@i_am_fabs Super simple. Great fun. <3
