Just picked up the Samsung Chromebook Pro. I have the LG V20. Im digging both but all my media is on my phone because I have a 256GB SD card for all my YouTube downloads.
Is there any way to cast video from the phone to the Chromebook when the Chromebook is offline. Upgrading to Nougat on the V20 means FoxFi is history. Bummer.
Offline Casting
Casting to an offline Chromebook is not possible because casting is screen sharing over an internet connection. However you might be able to use a wired transmission using the Chromebook as a monitor.

Hey guys, does anybody know of an app or a method that will allow me to stream video (not YouTube or Netflix) to my Vizio Smart TV? It's a really new TV with all kinds of features...I know I could simply hook up my MacBook to an HDMI port or even stream video via Apple TV, but I don't usually have those things in my living room. I'm just basically hoping to be able to stream a movie playing from an app like Showbox(or something similar to) to my TV, without any wiring. Samsung's screen mirroring feature would be ideal...if it wasn't limited to ONLY working with other Samsung products Anyways...please, if you can let me know of anything you've heard of, or have used that might make this possible, it would be greatly appreciated!!:fingers-crossed:
Unless Vizio has some type of app for their TV that I never heard of, there needs to be hardware plugged into the TV that receives the stream. Cheapest and easiest way to do this with android is a Chromecast, $35 bucks, I believe it can or soon will be able to fully mirror your screen no special root app required.
you can use the mdl to hdmi adapter from Sammy and keep a spare (but hidden) hdmi cable plugged into the tv. As far as wireless Chromcast
Did you find a solution?
Did you find an App solution for this? I recently purchased a Vizio and looking for the same?

Hey Guys,
Im using a tab pro 12.2 and running stock rooted deodexed, and Im wondering if I buy the chromecast dongle - will I be able to mirror my device straight to the screen (I want to mirror custom videos not through youtube etc) with mxplayer pro. My TV doesnt have any sort of wifi, but it does have a hdmi slot - hence going with chromecast.

Yes there are ways to do this
The TV doesn't need WiFi, just your home and device (tablet, phone, PC)
I can only cast screen natively from my nexus devices or PC but there are apps that allow for this
Check the Chromecast threads for more info
Oh, and the best $35 I ever spent, over a year now and still use it daily
Ok thanks, didnt realise there was a specific chromecast forums
While waiting for the new LG V10 to hit TMO-US, can any-one tells me what type of "CAST SCREEN" feature is implemented?
HDMI SlimPort
Miracast
Chromecast
Both Miracast and Chromecast.

I will just add that it works perfectly with the Amazon Firestick for direct screen mirroring (no need to be on the same network). Great for using unlimited data to watch Netflix on a hotel TV without have to do a tether hack.
I am using a kanex slimport to hdmi adapter, works well. Also works with the samsung allshsre hub, however delay in some audio to video issues.

I have a lm6200 LG TV that has Wi-Fi and Intel widi built in and a LG G4 sprint with miracast and smart share. Is there any way to Mirror my Android screen to this TV without internet using a chromecast? Specifically I only want to mirror the games I play on phone to big screen wirelessly. I have unlimited data on phone but hot-spot is a not an option as it costs $$$$. Really don't want to root phone either. If chrome not good option can anyone recommend another cheap dongle so I can Miracast my phone screen to it? TV has hdmi, USB and several other ports on back to plug into. Thanks in advance!
Intel WiDi is a Miracast implementation

Intel WiDi is a Miracast implementation! You should not need a Miracast dongle or the Chromecast to mirror your display to your WiDi enabled TV!
Hi,
I have a Galaxy S7 which comes with the "Smart View" app in Android 8.0, which makes it easy to screen cast the phone to another Miracast device (e.g. TV or PC). Is there any way to do the reverse, i.e. using the phone as a Miracast host to display the screen of, say, another phone or PC? In particular, I want to use the Wireless Display feature in Windows 10 to have the phone as an external PC display. Windows can do both (cast to a device and host/display a cast from a device) but Smart View can only cast, not host. I don't want to use a media streaming app over the local network or god forbid a remote desktop solution routing everything through the internet. I want to use specifically Miracast because it's fast, convenient, built-in to many devices and most importantly uses direct peer-to-peer WiFi instead of going through the rest of the network, thus it's perfect for short-distance casting, which is exactly my use case. Unfortunately, I can't find any app that allows the phone to receive Miracast streams. Can anyone help?
