Currently, Miraclecast can only be used for screen mirroring : I mean in the case of Xorg that you can’t use the Miracast connected screen to display something differently than the first one.
This implies an other thing : for example, if I have crt display limited to 1024×768 then I won’t be able to display 1080p on the 1080p television.

Miracast just fixes some standars to use between two or more devices. See #4 for unimplemented feature (miraclecast as source) that will let you understand how to play around with miraclecast.

[ytrezq]

Yes, like ʜᴅᴍɪ. Concerning #4 do you mean it‘s up to each application to be compiled for supporting sending their video output by using Miraclecast as a library ?

[albfan]

Didn't understand completely you question. You can stream out anything you want using miracast spec. Default implementations on phones stream out source screen because they use miracast for screen mirroring

See #172 to understand how to use miraclecast to source whatever you want

[ytrezq]

@albfan : I simply mean an Xorg module is required for doing this by connecting screens through Miracast :

On Microsoft Windows®, you simply use ⊞+p

[albfan]

Take a look at #172. You can do what you want when you implement the source

[ytrezq]

@albfan : so again, do you mean that for getting what I’m wanting, I need to use a code editor along a toolchain ?

[albfan]

If you want to split a stream in 3 screens or whatever you need to customize miracle-gst.sh which takes the stream and outputs it (by default in a window) all the boilerplate part (negotiation, handshaking, stream) is done by miraclecast

[ytrezq]

@albfan : how do I tell Xorg to use a sceen resolution that match the one offered by the multiple displays ?
