Miracast and Plex support?
Hi

Does Xbian support miracast or "chromecast"? (casting youtube etc from android to xbian)

Can Xbian work as a Plex receiver or is there a well working Plugin for it?

For Miracast it would be needed a Miracast decoder on the Pi... since it requires Intel WiDi (not WiFi Direct!) hardware/software i think its kinda of difficult (emulation or decoding via software might be possible but even the Pi 2 does not have the compute resources to spare imo)

Miracast oficial

Chromecast i think its easier to do since it relies on software codecs... But i leave that answer for the devs.

The author does not specifies what chipset and what models of TP-LINK WNics are compatible :/

It nice to know that some WNIC chipsets can be used as Miracast decoders...
