If you look at the VLC documentation, you should be able to create a windows shortcut on the desktop that launches VLC with all the right parameters to start streaming from the desktop, and a script on the Pi that starts playing the stream, I could expand on this if you want.Īnother way is built in to Windows, so the only major configuration you need to do is on the Pi. You can choose Desktop capture as in input device on your Windows computer, and choose to stream it over HTTP, then on the Pi open the HTTP stream (using the IP of your computer and the port number you selected, probably 8080) and it should display it. One way you could do it is with VLC, which has an incredible number of features. The Bonjour part of AirPlay I believe is just for discovery of devices on the same network (so that you don't have to put in the IP address of the TV every time you want to cast) Android has a similar feature with Chromecast, and I believe there's a Pi implementation of the Chromecast receiver with some limitations (no DRM content). rPlay is an implentation of that, and isn't officially supported by Apple. In iOS, the AirPlay mirroring (which I think you're referring to) is built-in, and part of a protocol that Apple built. If anyone knows then please share views and suggestions.

Same like rPlay application, which runs on RPi and by using AirPlay on Apple device we can mirror our Apple device to RPi. The ultimate goal is to mirror/cast Windows screen from PC to RPi board (Not VNC). That's why, I can't determine on RPi side about particular services or protocols. So, there is an Avahi service for this for Linux, which uses this type of configurations.īut, on Windows side, I don't know which type of services/protocols it uses or supports. This application is an implementation of Bonjour and this Bonjour is an implementation of Zeroconf or DIAL.īy this, I can conclude that, I have to implement some kind of services/utilities which will support or use Zeroconf or DIAL on RPi. Like for Apple, it uses AirPlay application. words.īut, I can't figure out that how actually mirroring/casting works in Windows. I searched about this, I have found DLNA, UPnP, DIAL and etc. I want to mirror my Windows OS screens/video/audio to my RPi. I have RPi 3 Model B V1.2 with Raspbian (PIXEL) OS.
