Open Source Windows Screen Mirroring Software

OpenAuto is an AndroidAuto(tm) headunit emulator based on aasdk library and Qt libraries. Main goal is to run this application on the RaspberryPI 3 board computer smoothly. The OpenAuto Pro is the most advanced Raspberry Pi-based, custom head-unit solution ready to retrofit your vehicle. The main functionality of the OpenAuto Pro software is to bring Users access to modern head-unit features like Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile, music streaming, integrated media player, navigation via Android Auto, screen mirroring, rear camera support, and many more interesting options and possibilities. Moreover, OpenAuto Pro runs under regular Raspberry PI OS (Buster), therefore You can use all accessories and software dedicated to Raspberry Pi. OpenAuto Pro version provides features like brightness control, volume control, support of Kodi and integration with the Raspberry PI OS (Raspbian Desktop).

The idea is to replicate what Chromecast can do in regards to screen mirroring and streaming media to a remote display. Google chromes screen mirroring feature works well when used with a receiver such as Chromecast but this is a proprietary solution and audio does not work for desktop mirroring on some operating systems. At the moment, there is only a client for Debian/Ubuntu Operating systems and a server/receiver application for Raspberry pi. Mirrorcast aims to be a low latency screen mirroring solution with high-quality video and audio at 25-30fps, the later is why we will not use something like VNC. Mirrorcast uses up about the same amount of system resources as google chromes cast feature. The delay is less than 1 second on most networks. To achieve this we will use existing FOSS software such as ffmpeg, mpv, and omxplayer.
