Screen Cast to WiDi/Miracast device

So on MM and trying to cast my screen to my LG TV I see the TV and the TV acknowledged my N6 but it fails with an incompatible device error.
Is the only way to screen cast by using a Chromecast?

I believe some people have gotten Miracast to work with an edit to the build.prop. Unsure if it still works on Marshmallow though.

Try using the screen cast option in the chromecast app.

How do I get Netflix to Display over Miracast Connection?

Hey Guys,
I've been using a 256GB Exynos Note 8 as my first ever Samsung Smartphone for almost a year now, and I've been really loving the extremely versatile featureset it packs. It has hands down been the most useful Smartphone I've ever had after over half a decade of jailbroken iPhones and just switching to Android on a OnePlus One back in 2014. So much so, I've literally been using it as a Pocket PC for most of my computing needs, relying less and less on my Surface Pro 2.
However, there has been one pet peve that just keeps getting in the way of me enjoying my Note 8 to the fullest; whenever I try to miracast Netflix running on my Note 8 to my Microsoft Wireless Display Adaptor connected to a big screen (be it in my living room, bed room, or a hotel room), I only get audio and subtitles, no video Everything else -- including presentations, games and YouTube -- stream smoothly and very reliably from my Note 8 to whatever big screen I want, way better than even my Surface Pro 2 (1st party hardware). However, I just can't get Netflix to stream over miracast from my Note 8. Oddly enough, it works from my Surface Pro 2 with the latest Netflix app from the Microsoft Store.
Any genius out there have some suggestions on how to get Netflix working over miracast? I don't want them chromecast as they require their own internet connection instead of simply functioning via WiFi direct. Thanks in advance.

Try loading Netflix, then only starting the miracast?

Are you plugging this adapter into a TV at a hotel etc? Or is it your home TV?
The casting is something Samsung needs to fix its quite fiddly. If I'm casting to a TV I use Smart Things.
I think you should be running the app you're trying to cast from first. Then when you click the option it should recognise your MWDA.
I used to use my Surface Tablet to cast Netflix and it was a nuisance, so I gave up and plugged it directly into the TV and used a Bluetooth mouse.

Sorry for the very late feedback, for some reason never saw a notification in the XDA Labs app despite responses to my thread.
I just attempted this but all it does is still show a black screen with audio over Miracast, while the video appears on my Note 8's screen.

I tried it both at a camp/hotel and at home. Doesn't matter which TV I'm plugging it into, it's still the same end result; my Note 8 reliably connects over Miracast to it, but Netflix refuses to display.

Hmm, isn't that using Chromecast though? My Wireless Display Adapter doesn't show up when I attempt to add a device in SmartThings.

I attempted that, and as stated above, still the same end result.

BUMP

The problem might be the MWDA. I never used one, I used a 3rd party display port to HDMI cable when connecting my Surface to a TV.
I cast apps from my Note 8 to my TV using Smartthings app. Or if you click the button which says 'button order' for your notification shade, there should be one that says 'smart view' I have successfully cast Netflix on my phone to my TV this way.

The MWDA works perfect and reliably for ANYTHING else, besides Netflix. SmartThings is casting via Chromecast in your Smart TV, that's why it works with Netflix.

That's exactly how I cast from my Note 8's screen to the MWDA, again, it works reliably with everything else but Netflix. The difference is it's using the Miracast protocol in the case of my MWDA, whereas the one to your Smart TV is using the Chromecast protocol (SmartView supports both).
Anyone else have any suggestions on getting Netflix to work over Miracast?

Can't screen mirror on Roku or allshare cast. Anyone else able to screen mirror?

Have not been able to screen mirror to my TV through either my Roku (I have a Roku 3 and Roku stick and same issue on both). I have never had a problem using the wireless screen mirror function with my Roku's before. I also have allshare cast on my Samsung DVD/surround sound system, and it will never connect the wireless screen mirror from my phone either. My phone will say it is connected to the Roku's, but it will sit there on the Roku screen on the TV at about 30% of the bar that comes up when the phone is first loading the screen mirroring to the TV.
Yesterday I almost bought a chromecast dongle yesterday to see if that will work for screen mirroring, but figured I should ask here if anyone else has had an issue wirelessly screen mirroring with their Note 9. TIA any help appreciated!

Thanks for the info. My S8+ and Note 8 both used to cast fine to the Roku and my Samsung blu ray system. I still have my Note 8 and now it doesn't screen mirror anymore either. Thought it was just a Note 9 issue but it also plagues the Note 8 also. Maybe it's and android 8.0 issue?
Do you mean that you got a specific app from the playstore that was successful in screen mirroring? If so, may I ask what app you got that works? TIA.

I'm trying to remember what all it did it's been a while since I used it
My wife s8 casts just fine with stock app. Ive read a lot of horror stories with smart share and such all the way back to 5.1 or 6.0. Random issues with each update

Yeah, wireless screen mirroring has always been a bit stuttery. But at least it worked in the past. Now, it doesn't. I have tried my Note 9, Note 8 and my wife's old S8 (now our sons phone). None of them seem to work. Thought it was maybe my router settings or some setting on my phone, but don't think those are the issue. Still might buy the chromecast and see if it works. Although I read the chromecast has it's own issues and bugs. You'd think as tech gets better these thing would work better, but doesn't seem to be the case so far!

Just toggled on smartview, and managed to cast to my Roku 3.

I've got that toggled on.... it still sits there at the "starting video from...." screen at about 30% of the bar. My phone says it's connected, but on the TV with Roku it never connects. Don't understand it.

So I DL'd the app and it does work to cast misc stuff to the Roku. It doesn't screen mirror though, and I really need a full screen mirror so I can mirror Watch ESPN from my phone to my TV.
Still can't get the Roku and phone to actually screen mirror - it just sits there on the "starting video from..." screen. Dunno WTH the problem is.

I finally got this to work. I went into the Roku settings and on the screen mirror settings I put "prompt" instead of "always allow". When the two devices tried to connect the Roku came up with the "allow device" prompt, I hit "allow" and it connects every time now.
I had also went into Smart View settings on my phone and looked at various settings there. I didn't see anything I thought would help, so I don't think it was any settings on the phone. Dunno for sure. I am just happy to have screen mirroring that is working now!

yea been a while since i tried it
Thats all my s8 does too i try wifi direct and smart screen or whatever
Ima try this guys fix and see if prompt works

Well I thought I had posted this earlier today, but for some reason my post didn't go through. I got screen mirroring to work via the Roku. What I did was go into the Roku settings and changed the Roku from "always" allow the phone to mirror to "prompt" before allowing. So after I changed that Roku setting, I went into Smart View and tapped on the Roku tab in smart view. The Roku then popped up with a message to "allow always", "allow once", or "deny" my phone from pairing to screen mirror. I hit "allow once" and immediately it worked. Tried it about 5 more times, it worked every time. Was able to mirror Watch ESPN and every app I tried.
Hopefully this was the cause of my issues and anyone else having problems can get it to work the way I did.

Screen Mirroring
There's an app called screen mirroring. I have a Note 9 and it works fine on a roku to mirror your screen to the TV.

Screen casting problem in Mi A2

I tried to cast my Mi A2 to LG Smart TV and while casting I was only able to get the home screen that too with a settings button, which is not what my phone's home screen looks like. Does anyone know a fix to it?
Also, there is another problem of hotspot and wi-fi not working together now. Any fix for that too?

Ya I am using stock android 10 only. Casting is supported, I can cast my other phones on TV and I can even cast YouTube through other casting app. It's just that I am not able to mirror the screen and also not able to screen cast YouTube directly.
Also, if you are talking about extending feature in developer settings, that I have already tried but no luck, still it doesn't opens wifi and hotspot at the same time
