See you need to run miracle-wifid to have a daemon able to configure your wifi device to check for sources to stream their screens.

[mcp292]

Yes, I should have noted my steps.

Following the instructions:

1. sudo systemctl stop iwd (I don't use wpa_supplicant nor NetworkManager)
2. sudo miracle-wifid &
3. sudo miracle-sinkctl

That's what I do to get to my first comment.

[albfan]

I see.

Please attach logs for support: https://github.com/albfan/miraclecast/wiki/FAQ#log-for-support

see the step to stop network manager is to ensure you don't have a wpa_supplicant running. miraclecast spawn it with a custom config. If you don't have wpa_supplicant miraclecast will not work, it is not agnostic about network manager

[mcp292]

That may simply be the issue. wpa_supplicant is not listed as a dependency in the requirements nor in the AUR.

[albfan]

yes, the idea is to get rid of that at some point talking with network manager through d-bus

[mcp292]

Okay. In my case I have neither. I use only iwd and dhcpcd. Whatever you decide please add as a dependency. I think wpa_supplicant is the smaller dependency though.

Maybe there is some agnostic way, but I don't have time at the moment to familiarize with the code base. Looks like nice, clean C code though ;).

[albfan]

Remember this is the project, how it is packaged is an issue to open downstream.

[mcp292]

Not fully. Your requirements section should contain wpa_supplicant.

[albfan]

I got you know. When you say dependency you mean document requirements. PR welcome!

A way to work with iwd would be nice. It seems like the future instead of wpa_supplicant.
