# 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
|
|
|
|
- **glib**: A utility library. Used by the current DHCP implementation. Will be
|
|
removed once sd-dns gains DHCP-server capabilities.
|
|
|
|
*required*: ~=glib2-2.38 (might work with older releases, untested..)
|
|
|
|
- **check**: Test-suite for C programs. Used for optional tests of the MiracleCast
|
|
code base.
|
|
|
|
*optional*: ~=check-0.9.11 (might work with older releases, untested..)
|
|
|
|
- **gstreamer**: MiracleCast relay on gstreamer to show cast its output. You can test if
|
|
all needed is installed launching `res/test_viewer.sh`
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
To compile MiracleCast, run the standard autotools commands:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ test -f ./configure || NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh
|
|
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
To compile and run the test applications, use:
|
|
$ make check
|
|
```

|
|
Steps to use it as sink:
|
|
|
|
1. shutdown wpa_supplicant
|
|
|
|
$ sudo kill -9 $(ps -ef | grep wpa_supplicant | awk "{print $1}")
|
|
|
|
2. launch wifi daemon
|
|
|
|
$ sudo miracle-wifid &
|
|
|
|
3. launch sink control
|
|
|
|
$ sudo miracle-sinkctl
|
|
[ADD] Link: 3
|
|
|
|
4. run WiFi Display on link:
|
|
|
|
> run 3
|
|
|
|
5. Discover your machine with other miracast device (mirroring)
|
|
|
|
6. See your device on this machine
|
|
|
|
Steps to use it as peer:
|
|
|
|
1. Repeat steps 1 and 2 from "use as sink"
|
|
|
|
2. launch wifi control
|
|
|
|
$ sudo miracle-wifictl
|
|
|
|
3. Enable visibility for other devices
|
|
|
|
4. Locate them using scanning
|
|
|
|
> psp-scan
|
|
|
|
5. Apart from list, or show info with peer <mac> there's nothing useful here by now.
