I am using miracast for quiet some time with my LG tv. Works mostly perfectly, but my issue is the tv of my neighbours. My miracast automatically tries to connect to a tv, if there is only one showing up. because my tv is slower hardware-wise, it does not always appear as fast as the neighbour's, which is why miracast sometimes tries to connect to my neighbour's tv automatically. I don't want this to happen.
My idea is, if it was possible to do either one of those:
1.block my neighbour's tv from showing
or
2.only allow connection to mine
My S7 is rooted and using superman rom
PS: English is not my native language so pls forgive mistakes in my sentences or odd describing.

I'm having the same problem now. I can cast to my neighbor's LG TV and another neighbor's Roku, as well as my own Samsung TV. I have an up-to-date Windows 10 desktop computer.

I bought a Hi763 Miracast from Focalprice mostly for the DLNA feature because I want to stream wireless audio to a receiver. Setup is pretty easy and the device can switch between Miracast and DLNA mode. I am in DLNA mode and the device is connected to my home network just fine.
With the device connected to my network, when I browse "Network" via my Windows 7 PC, I see the device shows up as a media device titled HI763-8B8182-DMR however I do not get any option to connect to it. When I right click a music file, I also do not get the option to "Play To" the device like I would on other DLNA connected devices.
Thoughts on how I can stream audio to the device via Windows 7?

If you open Windows Media Player, you should be able to stream to your dongle via that. But you need to make sure that media streaming is enabled first (go to the network and sharing centre in the control panel, then select "change advanced sharing settings" from list on the left hand side. Choose whichever profile is appropriate for the wifi network you are on and then check "media streaming" (4th item down) is set to on).
The "Network" browse you refer to (presuming you mean the one under Windows Explorer) is for file shares (Samba or Windows shares) and isn't what you want for actual media sharing/streaming (it will presumably be showing up for management connection via web and/or telnet interfaces).
Once things are set up, you should be able to play your file via the stream menu that should be there. You may need to tweak a few settings in media player too though - see the link below for some guidance:

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, this Miracast device just does not show up as an available streaming option. I know that the device is connected to the network properly (I can see it and browse the device webpage).
I am basically out of ideas now as I've tried everything.

How are you trying to stream to it? Using which Windows program?

Windows Media Player. My experience with DLNA streaming is that you first have to "install" the device first. Such as with my Onkyo network receiver. I right click the device in My Network, then select the "install device" option. Then I can stream to it. But this Miracast does not have an "install device" option when I right click it in My Network.

Hmm, my experience is different - the DLNA renderer should just be visible to a suitable source and/or controller (such as Media Player), without any need to install anything, once it is connected to the same network as your laptop (the one with the Media Player, or whatever you are using as a DLNA server).
As you can see the device on the network and browse its webpage (I presume you mean by connecting directly to the device using IE or similar via the IP address it generates on the screen) then it's on the network properly. I would suspect that your laptop isn't set up correctly for streaming out to the device. There are details about that on the web, such as the link below (it also depends which version of WMP you are using, only v11 and upwards can do it) for Win7 and Win8:

There's a video on YouTube (link below) for mirroring a phone onto a TV using the device which may help if you haven't already seen it?

I just received mine this morning, and having quite a few problems with it too.
My phone won't detect it in Miracast mode, looks like 4.4 Roms have many problems with screen casting.
My tablet detect it, but it lags a lot and resolution seems to be the same as tablet screen so not 1080p at all, I want to stream Netflix on my TV, tried several HDMI adapters but it's very expensive and often break after a few days, so screen casting is way better to me.
DLNA seems to be working with the Google Play app, but I can't stream Netflix with it
So I was wondering if updating firmware will resolve some problems, or if anyone knows how to activate screen casting on 4.4 custom roms or anything else that will allow me to stream Netflix in HD on my TV lol.
PS : Hey un Clermontois ! lol, je suis de Vichy.
Have you switched on wireless display sharing in the detection?

On my 4.4 phone, when I'm in the screencast settings, I need to press the menu button and check wireless screen casting in order for the phone to detect the dongle. maybe this helps.

Has anyone been able to get the Idol 3 to connect to a Roku via WiFi Display?
My phone will see my Roku stick, say it's connecting, and then after a few seconds the device disappears from the list. A few seconds after that the Roku stick reappears. The process continues this loop until I cancel the connection.
My Nexus 4 was able to connect without issues.
I use the Roku app to connect to my Roku 2. Works well.

I, too, can use the app to stream saved music, etc. to my Roku, but I am wanting to use my phone for screen sharing. I.E.; have my home screen displayed on my TV via Roku.
Hey, im want to mirror my screen from my galaxy s6 to my samsung smart tv UE40ES6710 but the problem is that the wifi from my smart tv is broken, also i cant scan for wifi cause it doesnt find anything and sometimes it crashes and hang up when i try to connect my tv wirh my wifi. So my question is can i mirror my screen from my s6 to my smart tv WITHOUT having my smart tv connected to wifi??? I tried a usb wifi adapter but when i plug it in my smart tv it doesnt get recognized, but the wifi adapter is ok cause it works on my pc. i tried every usb port on my tv but it doesnt help. Can i use something like screen mirroring or quick connect but without have my smart tv connected to internet??
And no ethernet cable, too
Try a Chromecast. Plugs into hdmi, has its own Wi-Fi, you can mirror your phone. $35.
EDIT: ^ What he said.
Chrome cast is cheap and awesome
- Renolz
Is there any other way to stream my screen and sound without chromecast? The problem is that my network adapter from my tv seems to be broken and that the software is absolutely buggy too, i couldnt update the girmware from my smart tv with a usb so i need to try another way without buy something new like chromecast stick or hdmi to micro usb cable.
I don't think the S6 supports a cabled connection, so ìf the WiFi on your TV is broken a Chromecast is going to be cheaper than replacing the TV connection.

Use the mirroring, Multi-Screen option from the drop down menu to connect wirelessly to your Wi-Fi TV.
I had success on connection to my Samsung with Miracast. I took 2 - 4 attempts then it connected fine.
It transmitted video and sound via 5 MHz WLAN to TV. But the quality of speed seems to be not good enough. I had drops in video but on sound.
I tried the same with my Microsoft Surface Pro 3 which worked well on Windows 8.1. Now on Windows 10 I get no connection at all.
So I have no alternative.
Did anyone ever succeed in connecting to TV via micro USB to HDMI cable? I'm going to be traveling soon and would like to connect it to my hotel TV so I wanted to know if I should go and buy the cable or not,
Thx
Hello.
I have NVIDIA SHIELD K1 tablet and Sony KD-55S8505C TV (with Android TV on-board). I wanted to play some games within streaming feature. It works fine, but the problem is when I want to use HDMI to display the image on my TV. Once I connect the HDMI-miniHDMI cable, nothing happens... I tried to manually change the display mode to console, but I'm getting a message that HDMI is not connected.
After this I tried the HDMI with other TV and it works correctly. But my Sony is a new one, all HDMIs work fine (I tried them with Blu-ray player and my laptop).
I also tried restarting my tablet and TV many times (I found out it helps sometimes for ppl).
Is there any other thing I can check? No idea what to do.

Did you ever solve the problem? Mirror mode worked on one of my TVs but not another TV.
Yes. There was a problem with my TV's HDMI ports. Something on motherrboard was broken. I sent it to Sony service and they repaired everything. It has worked like a charm since the first use.

Console mode works but not mirror mode so HDMI port is fine.
To me it is happening that my nvidia shield tablet does not recognize when I connect the HDMI. I did a hard reset and everything works perfect again, but after a few days, unchanged nothing stops working again. I did the test with different cables, different adapters HDMI-MiniHDMI and with different screens but I always have the same result unless I make a factory reset again.
Maybe some app, update interferes with HDMI..
Deactivate auto updates in Play store and for Nvidia.
