# MiracleCast - Wifi-Display/Miracast Implementation
The MiracleCast project provides software to connect external monitors to your
system via Wifi. It is compatible to the Wifi-Display specification also known
as Miracast. MiracleCast implements the Display-Source as well as Display-Sink
side.
The Display-Source side allows you to connect external displays to your system
and stream local content to the device. A lot of effort is put into making this
as easy as connecting external displays via HDMI.

On the other hand, the Display-Sink side allows you to create wifi-capable
external displays yourself. You can use it on your embedded devices or even on
full desktops to allow other systems to use your device as external display.

## Requirements
The MiracleCast projects requires the following software to be installed:
- **systemd**: A system management daemon. It is used for device-management (udev),
dbus management (sd-bus) and service management.
Systemd must be compiled with --enable-kdbus, even though kdbus isn't used,
but only the independent, experimental sd-libraries.
*required*: >=systemd-213
2014-09-02 23:13:52 +00:00
- **glib**: A utility library. Used by the current DHCP implementation. Will be
removed once sd-dns gains DHCP-server capabilities.
2014-09-02 23:13:52 +00:00
*required*: ~=glib2-2.38 (might work with older releases, untested..)
2014-09-02 23:13:52 +00:00
- **check**: Test-suite for C programs. Used for optional tests of the MiracleCast
code base.
2014-09-02 23:13:52 +00:00
*optional*: ~=check-0.9.11 (might work with older releases, untested..)
2014-11-21 21:14:39 +00:00
- **gstreamer**: MiracleCast relay on gstreamer to show cast its output. You can test if
all needed is installed launching `res/test_viewer.sh`
