Title:
Configure Chromecast as monitor
Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
THIS IS A KIND FEATURE REQUEST -- not a bug
Under System "Settings > Displays" it would be really nice, if
Chromecast devices were automatically detected and appeared like any
normal monitor that is connected directly to the computer; ie. unity-
control-center should transparently allow the Chromecast device to be
used as a secondary or even a primary monitor, configure mirroring,
launcher placement, scale and everything.
Resolution of a chromecast is most likely fixed and the option should
therefore be ghosted. But when configuring a screencast-to-Chromecast
from the Chrome browser, an image-quality-vs-refresh-speed option is
present, so a dropdown for this is necessary here too. Remember to
state the Chromecast device name so one can tell multiple chromecasts
from another.
I've added a screenshot to demonstrate the idea.
I'm currently running Ubuntu 14.04, so I don't know if this has
actually been implemented in 15.04. But I haven't found any blogs
describing it.
