  5. Profit

Requirements

This app is written in .Net Core 3.1, so you'll need the correct runtime for this. But don't worry, you can download it here.
Also, this app is 64 bit only. If you're still running 32 bit, you're out of luck.
Additionally, this app uses XAML Islands (because creating a whole Miracast receiver from scratch would be fun - not). Because of this, you'll need Windows 10 1903 or higher. Also, you may need to install VS C++ Runtime 2019.
On the Hardware side of things, any Computer that is able to run Windows 10 1903 x64 should do. Also, you'll need a WiFi card or dongle (again, pretty much any dongle should do - I'm using a 2$ one)

TL;DR: You need

Why? Windows has such an app built in!

Yes, but Windows' builtin app is a shitty UWP app, so it can't (and will never) support running basic things as running in the background.
However, this app can do just that - and thus is better suited for non- interactive situations (like info displays).
Also, the Connect app's settings are literally a blank page ;)

Troubleshooting

  • If you get Unknown Error dialog, try to restart your computer (I know, but this really helps)
  • When getting Miracast not supported dialog, check you have a wifi adapter. Also, check if Windows' Connect app works
  • When a connection attempt times out, restarting explorer on the transmitting machine may be required - because Windows is really stable ;)
  • Try resetting your configuration (using the script or configuration screen)
  • Currently, only receiving from Windows 10 is tested
