Hi,
miracast seems to be a cool feature but are there cheap dongles or devices that work properly?
I have a chromecast but after a google search i found out that will not work with miracast
Does anyone has this working? If yes, could you share with everyone your experience.

Hi people,
Are you suggesting to get a ezcast dongle or chromecast ? (considering the recent news about chromecast)

Really depends on how and where you want to use it. For home use, either one probably be OK. I don't think you can mirror with Chromecast (not sure about Miracast). Also, I've heard that results sometimes vary; some people have complained about audio delays with Miracast.
If you want to use your Android device to watch video somewhere other than at home (say, at a motel), Chromecast will probably not work because of the types of networks available at hotels. Miracast might work, but you would not be able to connect to the hotel's wi-fi network while using it.
Personally, I have a Xbox setup for streaming video at home that works great, so I mainly use my Android stuff while in hotels. For me, the best bet is a Slimport adapter. This will give you high quality video and will let you stream from a hotel wi-fi network or using 4G. Anything that you watch on your phone, you can watch using a Slimport adapter.

Unfortunately, for those of us in the UK, Chromecast is not yet (officially) an option...

From my understanding, EZCast will mirror anything displayed on the source device to the TV but Chromecast is limited to specific apps. Is this correct?

I've just read this article which explains the differences:
http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39...t-everything-to-know-about-mirroring-android/
I think I would go with Chromecast. Although I do have PS3 as my media streamer.

I have tried multiple miracast receivers (a samsung TV and a push2tv) and neither one will show video on netflix. I do get audio, but no video. I have tried some AOSP based ROMs and Stock sense based as well and nothing seems to work. Does anyone else have any experience with this or information as to why it might not be working? My first assumption was HDCP but it looks like others are reporting that netflix works fine for them via miracast (although most of that was from old reviews with different phones).
To be more specific, just the video itself is black, i can still see the player UI components and other system things, just not netflix video. I've also tested Plex, Youtube, and Twitch, and all of those work just fine. However i don't believe any of those streams are protected, so that could be a differentiator.
Bump.
I'm having the same exact problem on my Nexus 6. Please help!
ezcast & miracast
Found this thread - only one that deals with hdcp - anyways the support site for ezcast is stating that since I have used a custom rom (CM and Sense) that the HDCP was removed off my phone.
Is there a fix for the netflix/miracast issue? Different ROM?
Just looking for some help.
thanks

Some problem here with Zenfone 2.
I have this problem with a ezcast dongle.
But it does work fine on my LG webos 2.0 TV. So I think the problem is with ezcast app.
guys just wondering, what's the best Dongle for screen mirroring for LG G3?
I had the Samsung All Share Cast before on my note 3, but it wont work with LG G3.
Basically I just wanna be able to play videos from my LG G3 on the TV and Youtube.
Would Chromecast work? or Roku is better?
I have chromecast and miracast works like a charm from day 1 when I got my phone. It is official supported for G3. Also other cool apps like netflix, youtube, chrome, play music all access, etc. work with it.
Chromecast works with any android 5.0 for 4.4 and before you can try an app called Mirror-enabler (search for it here in xda) I have 2 unofficial supported devices working with it (galaxy s3 mini and xiaomi mi2s).

Thanks for your input.
Im deciding between Chromecast or AmazonFire Sticky or the EzCast by Measy
I'd recommend Chromecast, you can not only 'cast' from apps like youtube, netflix, etc, but you can also Cast your whole screen (Actual screen mirroring) for games and whatever else. Not sure if amazon, etc do that.

oh cool...
is there a lag or delay in the casting?
I know this is old but miracast now works for the Roku 3, which blows the chromecast out of the water.
Hey guys.
Did not want to create a new thread, so I'm resurrecting this one.
I'm a g3 user with an smart TV. I do have a generic slim port adapte which works fine.
What I'm wondering is, I'm still not sure which is the best way to play videos on. TV. I couldn't notice the difference between them.
Slimport
Miracast direct wifi
Phone connected to TV over USB and the smart TV plays the video.
What are the pros and cons of these 3 methods do you think?
Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,
I was buy Nexus 5x and I found, that it is not support Miracast. Is there any change to use Miracast without editing build.prop? Can you recommend me any alternative ROM where Miracast working and will be working for a long time?

Hi there,
I cant find the perfect solution on the web.
What is the best way/app to cast my phone-screen (game) to my LG C7 TV?
It seems (and ive read) Pixel cant work with Miracast cause of Google's greedyness.
Hope some one can give me a good sollution.
Thanks!
I've used an app called Screen share for LG: smart screen mirroring. It has been awhile since I have used it though. When I did use it I mainly cast videos, pictures etc. Its not perfect but it does work. I have since bought a Nvidia Shield that supports chromecast.
LGs own ThinQ app.
