UBports works on Miracast |
|
The UBports team has published an update which talks about current work going into upgrading their mobile operating system to a newer base. They also report on challenges the team is facing with regards to updating older hardware and efforts to cast video output to wireless devices. "Alfred has been continuing his experimentations, this time around: Miracast support. This is a wireless mirroring capability, either to a TV display or to a computer monitor. The test device was a Pixel 3a running Halium 9. The same principles could apply to Android 7.1. For 64-bit there are currently some issues. Alfred tried building two different coder intermediaries, one through droidmedia and the other through the backend. One uses gstreamer and the other uses droidmedia directly. The bugs that we have in our system now were still visible with the droidmedia setup. It has illuminated what has been going wrong though and Alfred is currently working on a fix, based on those insights. Alfred relies very heavily on mirroring so he is very keen to get it done! There is a mismatch between the 64-bit rootfs and and the 32-bit media process on the Halium side. If anybody out there has a particular insight into the detail of that handover and would like to help, please get in touch with Alfred. There is no timescale for the fix but the strong hope is that it will be done earlier than than the move to 20.04." The team's blog post offers additional information on the project's progress. |
