Is this possible? I recently bought a Samsung Allshare that I can run through HDMI to any TV, but it seems it'd be a simple program that I could run on my MK908ii and just be able to do the same thing. I've seen the little mirroring icon on my phone where I can watch videos and/or pics that I've got saved directly on my phone, but I'm more or less looking to be able to mirror EVERYTHING so I can watch sites like MovieDroid, Showbox, etc without having to carry the Allshare from TV to TV since one of my TV's always keeps this dongle in it anyways. I don't have internet at home (long story), otherwise I'd just run the movie apps directly from the MK908ii...before anyone asks.

Hi,
I cannot get my device to 'discover' a microsoft miracast adaptor I have plugged in my tv. This device supports wi-fi direct, so it should theoretically work!
What I did :
I decided to upgrade my system as it was starting to lag badly, after 2 years of use.. I wanted to upgrade to kitkat at lesat, so I could stream movies to a tv. That feature was quite attractive to me.
I acquired CM11 unofficial from this post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2637079
full tablet wipe, (Forgot to backup SMS, argh) and it installed CM11 with kitkat 4.4.4 just fine. No problems that I can see, installed slim Gapps package - just for the play store, nothing else. Gonna install Gmail later.
Then I bought a chromecast, it was quite fiddly - It wouldnt find it on cast screen either, I discovered I needed it to run through a wifi network with a permanent internet connection. After this, it showed up on cast screen. Also, the streaming quality was complete crap - so I returned it and got a microsoft miracast adaptor - which apparently has better quality and doesn't need a wifi router!
I can't figure out how to get it to show up. The cast screen tab cannot find any devices. The adaptor sits in the tv, and it shows '"ready to connect" on there.
Since the tab for cast screen exists on my tablet, the functionality is there, and waiting to be used?
Any help please?
Do I need to do something like this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193 ?
So, no one has provided any tips yet... I'm going to go return this miracast adaptor before I can't get a refund for it.
But before I do, is there another forum category, or another place on the internet where I may be suggested to try for some troubleshooting advice?
This doesn't make sense to me - as the functionality WORKS, it is supported by the hardware, and the chromecast adaptor actually showed up before
New and need help please. I have not been able to get the screen casting o mirroring to work with my NVIDEA Shield Tablet WI-FI. I had Android 5.1.1. and now have 6.0 and no change. I am able to pair the two Android devices and both say connected but when I press Cast it has never indicated any available devices. Is it not able to Cast to another Android device? I am trying to screen cast to the Epson Movario BT-200 glasses which has Android 4.0.1 but also Miracast. My Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.4 inch is able to screen mirror to the Epson glasses but it gets a bit laggy. So I thought the NVIDEA Shield tablet would have more power but I am not able to get the Tablet to recognize the glasses in Screen Cast even though it does recognize and even connect to the glasses over WIFI. Have tried 2.4 GHz, 5GHz, and Auto band modes. Unfortunatly there is no Android update for Epson BT-200 glasses and likely never will be. I have rooted all devices and have tried about 7 different screen mirroring apps. (Epson Glasses do not allow Google Play store without rooting and some apps won't load).
Any advice welcome. I don't mind spending the time trying. I am not really smart but I was able to get my Shield tablet out of a boot loop by flashing new .img over USB from my PC through DOS command prompts, so I can usually figure it out with time.
Miracast hasn't worked on my original shield tablet since 5.0 update. I had used a Belkin to miracast, it's firmware is current and works with W8 and W10, and several older Android devices...I think it really only casts to Google cast devices now!

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

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.
Can anyone please help me? Ok so I have multiple devices and multiple TVs.
One tv is a Onn Roku TV the other is a LG SmartTV (webOS not Roku.)
The devices we have are the Nokia C5 Endi and the Samsung G7. Both devices support screen cast but they search for a chromecast, neither device will allow me to share my screen.
I have tried multiple apps on the play store and only came close once. Web Video Caster would allow me to share my screen but it would get stuck in a minute and a half loop. So even it won't connect correctly.
Does anyone know of ANY way that I can actually get these phones to screen mirror?
Why does it seem that screen mirroring has been phased out for screen casting which requires an entirely different device?
