A standalone UPnP MediaRenderer video player for Windows, Linux and (probably*) macOS.
Cast videos from your Android/iOS phone etc to your PC as if it was a Smart TV!
CherryRenderer is built with JavaFX and Cling (yes, I know it is no longer being maintained).
- Make sure Java 8 is installed. You can check your Java version by following these instructions.
- Download and run CherryRenderer_[version].jar.
- Open a control point application on your remote device.
- Connect to the CherryRenderer device.
- Start casting!
* OpenJDK 8 does not include JavaFX by default. Read more about this here.
* If you are planning to use the embedded VLC player, make sure that your Java and VLC installations are of the same architecture. More info about this can be found here.

* I do not own a macOS device, nor do my alpha testers, but technically as long as Java 8 is installed it should run fine.
