How do I cast my Android screen to my Ubuntu HTPC?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I have an Android phone running 5.0 (CM12) that has "cast screen" on the quick settings page, but no devices are listed. I don't own a Chromecast, but I have an Ubuntu HTPC running 14.04 and Kodi.
What can I do to make the HTPC a receiver and show up on the network?
android kodi screencast chromecast

Currently, i am finding a way to perform the casting operation by the default cast screen button given in the drop down menu for android 4.4 above(most probably). But there is another way using software and apps available in the Google Play Store.
- All Cast Receiver
- Vysor
In both of these cases its as simple as installing the android app on your android device and adding the extension for the corresponding app installed and then just launch the extension and connect to the available network available from your android device. Note-> Both These extensions are for Chrome.
Check this list: http://www.topalternativeto.com/vysor
If you are still having problems with getting started just Google the application names and you would find someone making money with your required video on youtube.

indeed, Vysor works well out of the box (Chrome only) with basic features and resolution. If you need better resolution you need to subscribe see vysor.io/#pricing
