Feature Request: How to cast the linux screen to TV? #209

Closed nitinjs closed 1 year ago

nitinjs commented 1 year ago

How to miracast the linux screen?

Futuristic:

  1. TV as a remotely connected monitor via miracast
  2. Bluetooth/RF keyboard and mouse connected to the linux
1. android phone with linux as a CPU
2. BT/RF keyboard and mouse
3. TV as a monitor
4. Speakers? TV already has it

every android phone with Samsung dex but wireless, isn't it? image

Nice Question @nitinjs

Never tested miracast with udroid But I can say it needs some pretty good effort and hacks to get everything working


Hacks available for now without miracast

Same, need termux with some special commands to transmit audio through the local network so that termux or any pulse audio receiver client installed inside smart tv could receive and play audio


I'll start testing miracast soon

for kb/mouse maybe this can be done

I think usb over IP ( considering sending events directly to Linux ) just makes it more confusing cause there are two receivers ( Android & Linux )

VNC usually takes care of this job

It was already possible with Termux Proot/Chroot distros Install Ubuntu in Android, in Termux, using proot-distro

Installed proot distro Ubuntu in termux Installed xrdp/vnc server

Installed RDP client on android Got connected

Now phone acts as a CPU and TV acts as Monitor Just the way I visualized

cheers
