= MiracleCast - Wifi-Display/Miracast Implementation =

The MiracleCast project provides software to connect external monitors to your system via Wifi. It is compatible to the Wifi-Display specification also known as Miracast. MiracleCast implements the Display-Source as well as Display-Sink side.

The Display-Source side allows you to connect external displays to your system and stream local content to the device. A lot of effort is put into making this as easy as connecting external displays via HDMI. On the other hand, the Display-Sink side allows you to create wifi-capable external displays yourself. You can use it on your embedded devices or even on full desktops to allow other systems to use your device as external display.

== Requirements ==

The MiracleCast projects requires the following software to be installed: - libwfd: A stand-alone library implementing the Wifi-Display protocol. http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/miracle/libwfd required: >=libwfd-1

- systemd: A system management daemon. It is used for device-management
           (udev), dbus management (sd-bus) and service management.
  required: >=systemd-209

- glib: A utility library. Used by the current DHCP implementation. Will
        be removed once sd-dns gains DHCP-server capabilities.
  required: ~=glib2-2.38 (might work with older releases, untested..)

- check: Test-suite for C programs. Used for optional tests of the
         MiracleCast code base.
  optional: ~=check-0.9.11 (might work with older releases, untested..)

Note that systemd-209 is not released, yet. However, several unreleased interfaces of it are used. Please see the MiracleCast website for hints how you can use it right now.
