I just want a fast way to mirror my computer screen onto the TV (wirelessly). Does DLNA support this? From the description it's not clear.
On the other hand I can clearly see that this project supports it, "Duplicate your screen" is the first feature listed there.
- mootothemax 13y agoDoes DLNA support this? From the description it's not clear. Honestly, I've no idea; if you like I can have a play tonight when I get home and let you know? I can clearly see that this project supports it, "Duplicate your screen" is the first feature listed there. Hah, that's quite funny; if you skip to the "Use Cases" section, it's all about consuming media, whereas the screen mirroring is highlighted as an extra feature. I guess the page neatly segmented you and I into our respective markets!
- shubb 13y agoI came up with a hack to do this. Basically I streamed my screen into a file, and then served that file with a DNLA server (which transcoded it into something the TV would eat). The result was pretty because source -> youtube -> my screen -> mp4 -> mpeg. Although it won't be so bad, I really see re-encoding artefacts being the problem here. Although Wireless N can have enough bandwidth to send video at a good quality.

- alasano 13y agoChromecast has this feature, you can cast a tab or the entire screen in the beta option. I can stream a movie this way over wireless G, I imagine with a good N router there's a difference.
