![]() NetFlix on Phone controls NF on Roku) and Screen Mirroring/Sharing (device screen appears on other device screen e.g. so all the work becomes so much wasted effort and time.Īny one with further "easy to follow" step by step instructions that I could try, will be welcome."Casting" (device app controls other device app e.g. Certainly not easy to spot any mistake as the cause of stuff not working "as expected" on completion of coding. Most of the stuff I have found in research, does not work, or is so complicated on the "build" of some code that an error is easy to make and ( to a novice like me) is like trying to learn a defunt south american native language. I am surprised that the Linux Community (forum members & developers) have not come up with a "simple" solution to this problem. ![]() I do not have a "Chromecast" dongle, so that did not work either !. but it is limited choice to either "Chromecast" or to a mobile phone or tablet. My "normal" Video Player on Linux Mint is SMPlayer, which is excellent. I also installed the download on my Virtual Box Windows 7 Professional. the "casting" bit does not "connect" or "show" a request, on the ROKU tv. VLC works as expected playing music videos on the laptop. I am stumbling around, There does not seem to be a "noddy`s guide" for doing this.ĭownloaded VLC to my Windows folder, and installed it on my Linux Mint, through WINE. Maybe I am not doing something right.Although from the screen shots in my previous, there is little for me to do, except wait until the little curly cursor stops spinning and says ERROR. The main problem seems to be that the TV recognises the mobile phone, but does not recognise the laptop so the GNOME NETWORK DISPLAY, doesn`t work for me. ( so long as both "sender" and "receiver" have the same version of Bluetooth,) Which currently, I think, is Bluetooth v5. Deskreen will not work for me in this Yes, I understand that, but having done a few queries on Google search, about sending video via Bluetooth, it seems that it "might" work. Well, it appears that Deskreen requires the (my term) "receving screen" to have a web browser, so you can type in a URL.Īs my JVC ROKU TV does not seem to have this facility, having checked all the "settings" listed. it is just something that I have had in mind for a few years, and now I have the telly that can do it, I thought I would give it a go, to keep up with modern tech issues !.Īs a "secondary" thought, I wonder if using a "bluetooth dongle" plugged in to the USB slot on the telly, would work.Again, this will/may be another route to try. and now after emmerdale finishes, I shall give that a go, and see what happens.Īs a point of interest. if I get desperate, I may try that route, or just open a bottle instead ! !. Somehow, I don`t think that WINE would be any good with that, But. as mentioned.Īs for your suggestions, I agree, 98% of queries to Google, regarding using Linux end up quoting how they did it using Windows. Also re-started the telly only progress I have made, is that I have managed to Screen Mirror, from my phone to the tv. Have re-booted, and tried again, but does not "connect". so I installed that.Īlso installed PIPEWIRE AND WIREPLUMBER, and it ( NETWORK DISPLAYS on the Laptop ) shows the 43" JVC Roku TV and then proceeds to try and connect.but fails ann d just shows "Error" (which is not much help! ) for some reason. seems that there is something called GNOME NETWORK DISPLAYS. So will see about other apps to download to the phone.īeen doing some more google research regarding Linux Laptop to TV screencasting. probably because it "mirrors" the small 6"phone screen on to a 43" telly screen. and a coupld of others.(probably the neighbours! )Īccepted the request and that bit "cast" a music video from the phone to the telly. I tried one SMARTVIEW and it showed the JVC tv. Last night, I downloaded three screenmirror/screencast apps, but they never seemed to work. have managed to get the phone to screencast to the jvc telly. have made some progress.Īs for screen mirroring. no devices are shoing on the ROKU device listingĪny step by step help, including recommended software etc, would be & thanks for input. I would assume that it would show my Linux mint desktop or whatever from the list of available devices)Īgain. (while it was written for Debian 11 desktop. most of the info I have searched and found on google searches refer to windows or MAC. Laptop is running Linux mint 21 victoria. but the tv does not show any device on screen mirrroing.īoth phone and tv are on the same router via wifi connection. Tried several different "apps" from Google Play Store, all supposed to work with ROKU tv`s. Trying to get the phone to work first as a "starter" to get the others working later on. possibly tablet ( android ) and my phone Huawei Y6 2019 ( android ). Update downloaded and installed.TV working fine.
