EyeConnect
EyeConnect is a UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) media streaming application developed by Elgato Systems that enables Mac users to stream digital content from their computer to UPnP AV-certified devices throughout their home network. The software allows users to share iTunes music, iPhoto images, movies, and EyeTV recordings with compatible devices like media players, smart TVs, and other UPnP-enabled hardware. It was primarily designed to work alongside Elgato's EyeTV products but functioned as a standalone media server for any UPnP-compatible setup. The application served as a bridge between Mac content libraries and home entertainment systems before more modern streaming solutions became widespread.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionEyeConnect appears to be discontinued by Elgato, with no updates or Apple Silicon support available. The app was last actively developed over a decade ago and is no longer sold or supported. For UPnP media streaming on Apple Silicon Macs, consider using Plex Media Server as a modern alternative. Plex offers native Apple Silicon support, serves the same core function of streaming your Mac's media library to various devices, and provides additional features like remote access and mobile apps. While it requires creating a Plex account (free tier available), it's actively maintained and works with a much wider range of devices than the original EyeConnect.
