Immich Uploader vs WiFi Audio Streaming
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Immich Uploader
Immich Uploader is a small app that discovers media files on your Android device, then uploads them to your Immich instance. The app can be configured to remove media files from your device after successful updates. This can be configured individually by type of file (Photo, Screenshot, Download, or Others). The app needs INTERNET permissions for the upload as well as access to your media files, which it will explicitly ask for.
WiFi Audio Streaming
WiFi Audio Streaming is a versatile Android application that allows you to stream audio over your local network. It works as a multi-protocol audio hub: act as a server to capture and send your Android device's audio, or as a client to receive and play audio from another device. With support for standard protocols, you can even stream directly to a web browser or media player.Key Features:Multi-Protocol Architecture: Stream using the native low-latency protocol (WFAS), standard RTP for media players, or HTTP to listen directly from any web browser (Chrome, Safari, Smart TVs).Internal Audio Streaming: In Server mode, stream your device's internal audio (apps, games, music) to other devices (requires Android 10+).Smart Auto-Connect: Automatically connect to prioritized IP addresses as soon as they are detected on the network, even in the background.Widgets & Quick Settings: Control your server or client directly from your home screen using interactive widgets, or use the Quick Settings tiles for instant access.Automatic & Manual Discovery: Clients automatically find available servers via mDNS. Manual IP connections automatically detect if the host is using Unicast or Multicast.Unicast & Multicast Support: Stream directly to a single device (Unicast) or to multiple clients simultaneously (Multicast), ideal for multi-room setups.Advanced Configuration: Customize sample rate, channels, buffer size, and manually select your active network interface to bypass VPN routing issues.Modern Interface: Built with Jetpack Compose and Material Expressive, the UI is clean, responsive, and features dynamic colors.The project is also available for Windows and Linux! Turn your computer into a wireless audio transmitter, receiver, or web server. Find the desktop version at GitHub and at GitLab.
