Miraclecast – Miracast (WiFi Display) Implementation

The MiracleCast project implements the Wi-Fi Display (Miracast) specification, enabling users to connect external monitors via Wi-Fi. It features both Display-Source and Display-Sink functionalities, allowing content streaming to external displays and using devices as external displays. The project requires software such as systemd, glib, gstreamer, and wpa_supplicant, and can be compiled using autotools, cmake, or meson. Installation involves ensuring the required software is installed, compiling the project, and following specific instructions for various Linux distributions like Ubuntu and Arch Linux. For usage, to operate as a sink, users must stop wpa_supplicant and NetworkManager, launch the Wi-Fi daemon, and manage the sink. To function as a peer, users need to enable visibility for other devices and scan for them. MiracleCast is licensed under the GNU-LGPL license, and additional information, including detailed installation and usage instructions, can be found on the official website and technical specifications.
