What does Local-network app permission mean?
A local-network app permission controls whether an application can access relevant devices or services on the local network under the operating system’s rules. It can matter for discovery features such as casting, but it is not the same as general internet connectivity.

Review the app’s documented needs and grant only relevant permissions. Do not assume every player requires broad local access just to stream from a remote account.
