miraclecast as source - cannot connect to the android TV box sink

[lucky62]

Hello,

I am trying to use miraclecast as source on Linux Mint 18.3.
My sink is android apk Miracast on android TV box TX3Pro.
Apk seems that it is like this:
https://android-apk.org/com.amlogic.miracast/8456287-amlogic-miracast/
But my version is newer 2.0.20160324 - the same mentioned here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-stick--console-computers/amlogic/miracast-app-leelbox-q3-s912-t3617603/
Apk is working, I can share screen from my phone.

My problem is:
Miraclecast can find android sink but android sink is not showing miraclecast in peer list.
When trying to connect then I must confirm connection on android sink (popup window is displayed).
But connection fails.

additional note: when I am running miraclecast as a sink then android is showing my notebook in the peer list.

miraclecast as source is a WIP, see #4. You need to compile a different branch #172.

Add feedback there

I have compiled 'derekdai-master-squashed' branch. But result is the same:

@lucky62, @derekdai implementation do not work that way. See https://github.com/albfan/miraclecast/wiki/Internals#source-implementation. You need to run miracle-dispctl
