Miracast: Ubuntu 18.04 > SmartTV
I own a SmartTV from Thomson that supports "Miracast" for "Screen Mirroring", and I have successfull tested it on Android-Device.
Now my question is what software I need in Ubuntu 18.04 to mirror the screen + sound from Linux to SmartTV.
Unfortunately, I have not found anything on this.
Solution 1:
There's Miraclecast,
https://github.com/albfan/miraclecast
https://launchpad.net/~thopiekar/+archive/ubuntu/miraclecast
And instructions / a discussion from a few years back... I do not know if this has become more user friendly since, or not. https://github.com/albfan/miraclecast/issues/4
I looked into this a while back when I got a "smart tv", and ended up making the the lazy decision to buy a chromecast device instead.
Solution 2:
- Plex as an app on my Hisense TV, so I installed plex server on my Ubuntu 18.04 PC and works 100%.
