I am seeking a solution that will enable me to mirror the screen from Android (LineageOS 20) to Android TV (LineageOS 20 for Android TV). Chromecast is only accessible for Google-certified devices; therefore, Chromecast will not function here.
Is there a project in which I can install the receiver app on the Android TV and the client app on the Android phone to accomplish this?
You can attach a Linux, Windows or macOS box and run https://github.com/genymobile/scrcpy/
Maybe https://github.com/MayaPosch/NymphCast is also an option.
I have used ScreenStream and was pretty satisfied with it, it basically creates a web server that streams your screen, so you can connect to it with any browser, it’s pretty neat!
(You can see the thread where it was first suggested to me here)
I got BJCAST working (https://github.com/WirelessPresentation/WirelessDisplay) by installing the BJCastTV.apk on the TV and BJCast-v2.2.2.apk (from the Aug 18, 2021 release) on my phone. It also has windows/mac clients. It claims to also work with Miracast (so the phone app shouldn’t be necessary), but I wasn’t able to get it running that way. Maybe you’ll have better luck. Also it seemed rather laggy to me, and kinda shady too, despite being open-source, it’s all in chinese and displays “Trial Version” in the corner.
EDIT: Actually, I read now that it’s not FOSS, only part of the code for the demo version is available. Sad.
