This is something I've been investigating for a while now, and seem to have turned up naught. Its getting to the point where I think its impossible for the time being, unless one of you fine folk can point me in the correct direction.

At work I want to display my nexus 7 wirelessly via a windows PC hooked up to a projector. There is a possibility in the future I may get a work mac instead of windows, so will also start investigating that, but imagine apple won't play any nicer with android than MS do.

Any help gratefully received.

last I checked, not a lot of open source work/reverse engineering on miracast...there are reference docs available if you want to play around with it

for android, there are apps that allow you to mirror the screen on a PC, google will show you more examples. some will be "better" than others (eg better sound/fps/connect)

Thanks, quite a lot of the ones I found like that either require a wire, or as you said have terrible fps.

There is also a big push to watch your PC on a small screen, rather than vice versa.
