Even if streaming platforms are not having their best moment, users are resorting to solutions to watch them “big”. Whether with a television with Android TV, or the adaptation of it in the Google ecosystem with Google TV that we have on devices like the Chromecast, there are several alternatives for transfer them to the big screen.
However, there are times when, out of necessity or desire, we wish send other types of content, for example the files that we have saved in the memory of our mobile. This is where it gets complicated, but there is a very useful app that makes it incredibly simple.
A content bubble
We are talking about BubbleUPnP, a free application available on Android that allows us stream any content to a TV…whether it comes with Android TV, Google TV, or supports DLNA. Consoles and other smart devices like Fire TV are included. In short, almost all the equipment we use for media playback.
From the moment we execute it, its possibilities are latent. We have a main screen similar to any video player, with a side menu that allows us a kind of file manager. With this we can explore the internal memory of the mobile phone to select the video, music or other multimedia content that we want to send.
The floating icon illustrates the “send to TV” function that we already know with other applications like YouTube, we tap on it and then we will see the devices compatible with this application. It will be as simple as pressing one to log in, and all the content that we read on the mobile will automatically be will be sent to your TV.
As if the ease with which we use BubbleUPnP wasn’t enough, it’s compatible with cloud services, like Tidal, Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive. In each of them we will log in with our personal account, and they will be part of the elements to send to the Chromecast or to the television with Android TV.
Although it is free and its “free” mode hardly removes any features, it doesn’t hurt to support the developer. On the way we took a ad-free app
The possibilities are endless: it is not only valid for sending music or videos, but we can transform any device into a Digital Photo Frame. When we select images, it creates a slide playback, which will show the memories we have immortalized.
It is also compatible with smart speakers from well-known brands such as Sonos, although any Bluetooth speaker will do. It is ultimately the “master” application for managing multimedia content on a compatible television or screen. Totally recommended, standing out for its stability.
