Hi there!
I have a question about Miracast compatibility:
As far as I know Miracast Streaming is software related. So majority of 4.2.2+ phones can stream the display. I wonder if it is possible that all the devices act as recievers too?
What I mean is.. if you have an Android TV Box, can you make it work as Miracast reciever so I could stream my android phone to that Android TV Box?
I am looking at some Android Boxes HERE and I see that only THIS ONE "officialy" supports Miracast (as reciever). Is it really the only one with Miracast capability?
Thank you for your time in advance!
I've searched the forum for an answer with no luck. I posted it in Android Q&A with no luck. Maybe I'll have some luck over here since our Nexus 5 supports Miracast.
Already posted my question HERE.
anyone?

I have a Vizio Co-Star (Coaster?) and it will not support Miracast at all.
Android TV boxes run older versions of Android on hardware that requires separate development from other Android devices. There is little or no Dev support for any of them and Google seems to have pretty much abandoned them. There was a rumor that Google TV boxes would get the Chromecast abilities via software update, but that hasn't happened.
I'd look into those cheap Android HDMI dongles if I were you, instead of Google TV devices.

Hey guys
I'm currently experimenting with my htc and an Soundmate audio reciever to get an optical audio signal that a can connect to my audio processor I have installed in my car.
I'm using the allshare app to get the audiostream over airplay to the soundmate reciever.
It works well and I'm pleased with the solution.
But I have one question thou..
Does anyone know if the signal is transmitted before being encoded in the phones Dac or if it takes the bitstream after and sends it over the airplay?
Sorry for my bad English but I hope you understand my question
Regards

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
Your English is great for me, I just haven't used allshare so the concepts are a bit hard to grapple.
Please go ahead an create an account, so you can post in other forums. From there, you can ask your question in the > HTC One (M7) > One (M7) Accessories > Samsung allshare cast dongle thread (if I understand correctly).
Hope this helps, and good luck!
Thanks for trying to help.
I think my previous post was missing some valuable info
I might mention that with allshare I mean an app from the playstore that simulates/converts to "airplay language" so it is possible to connect and stream from your Android unit to Apple airplay devices.
In other words not samsung allshare, allthoug it's similar technologys and I understand the mix up; )
Thanks anyway

Forgive me if the question is outright silly...
I am looking for a portable FullHD monitor to use with my Nexus 5. While I do have and use Slimport->HDMI dongle, most portable monitors now provide only USB 3.0 (DisplayLink) interface. Hence the question: is there any chance the two could work together? I realize that Nexus would not be able to provide the power needed, so I would require something in between, like a dock or a powered USB hub, but could it possibly work? Slimport seems to be related to DisplayLink, yet I have not seen any Slimport->DisplayPort adapters.

Hello,
I am looking for an Android-based "TV Box" that has good (any?) community support. I've found some devices with great hardware specs, however none appear to have good manufacturer support (updates). I've only owned Nexus phones and tablets since the Galaxy Nexus days so I'm a bit spoiled when it comes to updates and I prefer the ASOP experience. If someone could help me find a device or point me to the correct forum to ask, I'd much appreciate it. What I'm looking for is:
HDMI Output (Prefer 4K)
8 Core CPU
2+ GB RAM
32GB+ Storage (or expandable)
Wifi (Prefer 802.11AC)
Ethernet
Bluetooth
Thanks,
Thomas

Hi,
