Chromecast support
It would be nice to support other devices and not only Miracast (revision 1).
One such device that a lot of users at home would likely benefit from is the Chromecast. An implementation is available in VLC.
In principle it looks like the following is needed:
-
Implement a stream that can be downloaded via HTTP from our machine (i.e. we need a simple "HTTP server" that is able to serve the stream as one large "file". We can probably use the same codecs as for WFD, but we'll need a different container. -
Implement discovery of chromecasts (using avahi) -
Implement the command and control required to start/stop/restart streaming on the chromecast
