      Mildly off topic but years ago I bought a cheap Microsoft Miracast receiver. Tried using it some dozen times with various phones and with my PC and it never worked. HOWEVER this month I got a new phone and NOW it works with that phone, lol (the device itself hasn’t been updated, and both my current and previous phones are Sony). Guessing it’s some compatibility thing in the Linux drivers shipped on the phone. But weird that no other device of mine has been able to cast to it before, including some Windows computers.

      What we need is a Miracast 2 which does the Chromecast thing of offering a remote controlled browser engine, but open.
