Media Relay Client is the display-side for Media Relay — a multi-platform application that lets you upload and control media playback on multiple display devices. It is intended for use in kiosks, projectors, televisions, and interactive smart displays.
This Linux client runs as a display receiver, waiting for a controller device to connect and push media content to it over a local network, if your network does not allow UDP broadcasts you'll need to manually add the IP Address.
Unlike casting, which mirrors/streams your screen and requires a constant connection, Media Relay uploads media files directly to the display device and will allow you to persist the media between system reboots so long as you set the app to startup with the device.
Download the .deb file for your architecture, right click and press Package Install or install it with apt:
sudo apt install ./mediarelay-<arch>.debThe package is self-contained and will automatically install the required dependencies (vlc, libvlc5, gtk-sharp2).
sudo apt-get remove mediarelay| Architecture | Runtime Identifier |
|---|---|
| x86-64 | linux-x64 |
| ARM 64-bit | linux-arm64 |
| ARM 32-bit | linux-arm |
After installation, launch the app from your application menu or from the terminal:
MediaRelay.Client.LinuxOn first launch you will be guided through a short setup to name your display and optionally set a password. Once configured, the display will appear on the local network and can be controlled from any Media Relay controller app.
