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.

|
|
|
|
code base.
