7/3/2018 EDIT: Fixed issue with KeyError: 'aspect', Sorry about that Now logs to /var/log/syslog instead of /opt/mirrorcast/mirrorcast.log And some fun New Features such as Freeze (For screen mirroring) Play DVD's, Video Files on receiver and added receiver controls Play Youtube URL's on receiver Volume slider instead of buttons. Better performance when playing DVD's. Custom Tray/applet icon
Many bug fixes
Now using sockets, no need for supervisor. ffmpeg now uses udp instead of tcp. added logging (you may need to give permissions to /opt/mirrorcast/mirrorcast.log)
Users can sort receivers into groups which is ideal if there are lots of receivers. Fixed issues with audio. Allowed more time for ffmpeg to start
Fixed export display issue Added socket function
You can now force an aspect ratio using the receivers file,for example; if the client display has resolution with a aspect ratio 16:9 and you set the receiver to 4:3 then the resolution on the client device will automatically change to 4:3(1024x768) (This feature currently does not work with all graphics drivers).
64-bit debian/ubuntu client.
Fixes in 0.2b The user will be informed whether the connection was successful or not and the button will only change to "stop mirroring" if the connection was a success. Program now exits correctly if the user hits "quit" while mirroring.
