Streaming to Miracast Wifi Display Dongle Receiver

[hackware]

Searched the faqs, forums and docs, and could not find an answer, so...

Would anybody know if VLC can stream to a "Miracast Wifi Display Dongle Receiver" (availible on ebay for around $14) ?

( Just search ebay for "miracast dongle")

thanx...

No. Miracast is not currently supported. Volunteers or sponsor welcome.

ok...

Found a "WiFi TV Dongle Receiver HDMI DLNA" for about $25 on ebay, would that work?

I've been using VLC to watch video for quite a while, but am new to streaming...

(Would like to get a dongle of some sort working on Mom's HDMI/1080p TV...)

thanx...

We need a developer, either volunteering or sponsored. And the developer will probably need a specification. So I am afraid this is not sufficient. If you are not a developer nor a company, then you will have to wait until someone else takes it up.

Well, I would not claim to be a developer, but way back when, I did write code for a few computers...
(7 years IBM Research, 20+ years systems consultant, 8 years independent/self-funded compute systems research)

What type of tool-chain/libs/etc are there, and what kind of code is needed?
(most likely c/c++, yes?)(my lisp optimizer cranks out c code very well, and if your libs are not too weird or microsloppy infected, I might not have to relearn everything to work on your code base)

I am semi-retired, but still dabble with compute systems a bit (mostly lisp/forth/shell/etc on bsd/winbloz)...

Since most of my coding skillcraft was in a research environment on life critical/medical/military systems, I would most likely
be much too slow for the patience of most software teams today...

But if building the coding environment is not too huge a task, and someone/some could assist me in getting set up,
I'm willing to put in some work to get this done...

Well, Widi is TS+h264 and some special lpcm to encode. But the biggest issue is the signalling

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

In my limited knowledge of Miracast, the main issue is setting up the lower layers of the network connection and integrating with the OS TCP/IP stack.

ok, guess it is time for this thread to close or move to developer area...

looks like i'm taking a bite from a huge apple...

LOTZ of libs for vlc, could someone give a hint on where I could best start...?

(ie: a working lib like XBMC perhaps...?)

thanx 2 all...
