Hi! I’m using an android-based OS on my phone (no gplay service though), and looking for a foss (and privacy-friendly) app to share my screen on TV through mi box. Is there such an app out there ? Cheers,
Not an app, but you could get a usb-c to HDMI converter and then plug your phone into the HDMI port on your TV
That’s a great suggestion, thank you !
https://github.com/futo-org/fcast
It’s a FUTO product so licensing might not be up to your standards but I have been using it to cast my phone to my Chromecast.
Only issue I have are the casting options are limited. I only have one app, that I know of, that supports it.
This particular project is under the MIT license, so it is okay
Thank you for the suggestion, not a fan of FUTO, it’s not FOSS and owners are shady to say the less. But I appreciate you taking the time to reply !
I think casting (at least screen mirroring) is already built-in Android even without Play Services.
Try going into the Settings App > Connected devices > Connection preferences > Cast.
Alternatively try finding it with the search function, or try the Miracast Shortcut app from F-droid for quick access.On the MiBox side (I also have one) you shouldn’t need to do anything, it should always show up on the Cast menu on your phone no matter what’s going on, but if it doesn’t they also ship with a Cast app you can open and see if it shows up then.
Hi, thanks a lot for you reply, I did tried miracast, but nothing shows up, I’ll dig into it later. I’m running Graphene here, so there may be a security feature blocking casting, I should investigate this as well.
Ah, I don’t have Graphene so I can’t test that, but take a peek at the 3 dot menu on the corner, it’s easy to miss
Also try opening the Casting app on the MiBox and ensure both devices are on the same network, sometimes the MiBox was on the 5Ghz network but my phone was on 2.4
Sunshine/Moonlight maybe?
