SofaPlay
SofaPlay is a media streaming app for macOS that lets you cast or stream video and audio files from your Mac directly to a connected Smart TV. The app supports dragging and dropping media files, which then appear on your television display. It is intended for users who want to play local media libraries on their TV without using a separate external device or streaming box.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find clear information about whether SofaPlay has been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon. The search results indicate the app is available on the Mac App Store, but provide no details about the architecture or recency of development. Contact the developer through the App Store page or the vendor's support channels to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is available or planned. If you are relying on SofaPlay regularly, it would be prudent to confirm this before macOS 28 arrives in September 2028, since an Intel-only build will no longer launch on that release. As an alternative, consider Infuse (available on the App Store), which is actively maintained and offers native Apple Silicon support for streaming media to compatible smart TVs and devices.
