CLUSTER MEDIA-AUDIO-DEVICES · 14 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2012-02-22

Local network media streaming

This cluster covers apps and utilities for streaming audio, video, photos, and screen content across local networks using DLNA/UPnP, AirPlay, FCast, and similar protocols. The dated entries span from 2011 to 2026, with early sporadic singles (2011–2015), a long gap until 2021, then a steady but low-volume trickle through 2026. Traction is minimal, with iwara-flutter at 2 stars and AirPlay Server and BlueSound Controller at 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
