bin VS miraclecast

thank you! the search video functionality is not builtin into ytcast, but is actually a separate script (ytsearch[0]) so you can use it with other tools!

> cast videos saved on the laptop directly.... This would be a welcome addition.

yeah i know this would be great, but unfortunately it's unfeasible with the current implementation. what ytcast does is merely "telling" the YouTube on TV app to play videos.

actually I already have a quick and dirty script to setup my preferred xrandr config called 2monitor and the issue is "less" painful, but still I'd like to solve for good.

Edit: maybe micraclecast might help but it seems a bit complex to set up. Seems it doesn't support connecting to external displays yet. So not very useful for this use case.

I tried running Miraclecast on the Linux device, but it requires me to stop the network manager, which isn't acceptable as I need an internet connection to the device.

With that said, there are ways to do it. Miraclecast (see https://github.com/albfan/miraclecast ) is the most well-known Miracast implementation, but I've never been able to get it working - I got it to work as a sink, i.e. I was able to cast to it, but only at about 0.5 fps, and as I said, I was never able to get it to work to cast to another device. It looks like you might need to use a special branch of Miraclecast to do it, and it's a work-in-progress - I'm not sure if it's possible to do at this stage.
