The developer working on integrating network display functionality into GNOME Shell shared short video clip to the GNOME sub-reddit [...] the feature adds a “screencast” button to the row of actions in the Quick Settings menu. Clicking this opens a modal picker where the user can select any Miracast or Chromecast compatible displays on the network.

I guess AirPlay is not possible due to Apple’s DRM.

not sure how relevant these may or may not be, but there are some client device implementations

EDIT: paste didnt work https://github.com/openairplay/open-airplay

The repository you linked has sadly not been updated in 9 years

[-] drwankingstein@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

while true, it would be more about the protocol and stuff.

[-] haroldstork@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You’re right, but the AirPlay protocol has been updated over the last 9 years. I found something called UxPlay and it works pretty well. https://github.com/FDH2/UxPlay

Neither AirPlay nor Chromecast is open source.

[-] flashgnash@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

It seems to support Chromecast though

Isn't chromecast based on Miracast?

Yeah, I've been trying to work out a multi room audio system and its been...

Well, tough.

[-] Onurb@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Have you tried snapcast. I've been quite successful with it.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

No I haven't. Do you have experience with it? What is your opinion?

[-] Onurb@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I think its really great. Im using the server component together with spotifyd and then have the clients running on a few different devices. The sync is really good and you can adjust the delay of each device in the web interface. I mostly needed that because of a bluetooth speaker and a sound receiver which delays always by 250ms no matter the input. But now i have music blasting from every room and you can ealk from room to room and dont hear any delay. You can even have different soundsystems in the same room and it is not even noticable that there are different devices playing. I totally recommend it for a music multiroom setup. On my main pc i've even added it as an audio output device with pipewire :)

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Wow that sounds impressive. I'm excited to try. have you watched movies on it? is the delay too much for movies?

[-] OnU@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

alt here since world down: sadly this doesn't work with movies. snapcast always adds delay to sync up all clients. so your video and audio are out of sync. I think i remember that somewhere people discussed that snapcast could report the delay to the pipewire to have the video player sync it back up again. but that isn't implemented "yet" tm

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

What speakers/ receiver system are you using? I'm still shopping that part as well. I'm trying some wifi speakers but haven't got them where they need to be yet.

[-] Onurb@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Just whats been around tbh. Some old speakers with a cheap bluetooth amplifier board f.e. One of my flatmates added his PC speakers with subwoofer and we got a sourround system running along side it. Didn't spend anything just connected whats been already around.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
