MiracleCast is a C implementation of the Wi-Fi Display (Miracast) specification for Linux, providing both Display-Sink and (planned) Display-Source functionality. It lets systems act as wireless displays or connect external monitors over Wi-Fi Direct, relying on systemd, wpa_supplicant, and GStreamer.
Use cases
- turn a linux machine into a miracast display sink
- cast my screen to a tv over wifi direct
- use a raspberry pi as a wireless external monitor
- miracast receiver for embedded devices
- connect external monitor via wifi instead of hdmi
When to choose
- you need an open-source Miracast sink on Linux or embedded devices
- your hardware supports Wi-Fi Direct and you want wireless display without proprietary tools
When to avoid
- you need the Display-Source side to stream your screen out - it is not implemented yet
- your Wi-Fi hardware lacks Wi-Fi Direct (P2P) support
- you need a polished plug-and-play consumer Miracast experience
