Was looking for a screen casting solution. Went with this...

[walscobry]

I was wanting to cast from my TS to the big TV screen. While searching for solutions I decided to take a slightly different route. Not a streaming stick like the Chromecast or a DNLA/MirraCast dongle BUT a android stick computer.

I found a cheap equiso stick at walmart of all places.

I use ES File explorer on both sticks for transfer/streaming and a whole lot more.

Not exactly screencasting but requires no more stuff to tote around but has a lot more flexibility.

Best part no battery drain on the TS.

Why not just use the android stick computer directly? I have tried different casting solutions, the best are the air play servers they have almost no lag compare to anything else.... Have you seen shou?

shou?

Not seen or heard of that, will look it up. But yeah basically instead of a streaming stick, its a stand alone device. The thought was instead of taking along just a streamer, take another full on device with no more baggage overhead.

I think I bought an AIRPLAY / DNLA app during one of the sales, I should look that up and install it.

I have added Ultimate Servesr Pro to the TV stick also.

That SHOU looks interesting, will play with that. Thanks for the info.

I do like the idea of using an android stick as a server, mainly home automation....

I think the Xiomi is the only brand to buy the rest I have bought are all junk...

MirrorOp THANKS!

use an android app called MirrorOp

WOW That looks like something I really need to add to my tool kit. Thanks!

MirrorOP does screen casting but without sound. So it only really helps with viewing static pages such as photos, not videos.

MirrorOp version 1.1.6.9 onwards , started supportiong audio mirroring on Android 4.4+ devices.
