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.
