    Hello, as in the subject, I am looking for a solution for remote connection without cables from a Linux Ubuntu computer to a Samsung Smart TV. The idea is to transfer to the TV screen what is displayed on a laptop with Linux. I'm not interested in a Chromecast solution, unless some HDMI transmitter or something else, but not Chromecast ... Please give me a hint and best regards

    In fact, only miracasts with Intel Vpro processors work well, but it's windows.
    For linux, it remains to combine with Widi.
    There used to be an itrio company that produced 1to1 transmitters, it worked great, but it is no longer on the market, I think it died.

    It seems to me that the author of the post is not talking about DLNA streaming.
    The point is to send the image (mirror) from the phone to the TV with a technology that will not depend on your wifi access devices and without a noticeable loss of quality.

    Oops sorry, of course not the phone. But in this case it doesn't matter.

    Added after 5 [minutes]:

    Unless it's supposed to look like RDP or VNC, but then you need, for example, Odroid connected to the TV.

    Added after 8 [minutes]:

    DLNA pulls data and decodes on the device side is nice and smooth.
    Desktop live streaming will be limited by your network bandwidth.

    Of course, it's about Live streaming from a Laptop to a Samsung Smart TV but without Android

    A bit expensive, it's strange that sharing movies from yt works but there you have to enter a special code and pair it with the TV. I wonder if it can be done through Vplayer to send a movie from a computer to a smart TV screen

    Expensive, because you have to compress the HDMI signal in real time.

    It depends what this SMART TV can pick up.

    You Tube can pick up from the phone, so maybe the movie will fly through VLC player ...

    I have Win 10 on the same laptop, yesterday I played the image on the TV without any problems using Windows tools and saw the computer desktop ... It's a bit of a shame that Ubuntu doesn't have such tools and that you have to mess with some external devices. I didn't know that I would ever praise Windows but in this case the simplicity of this operation should be praised as opposed to Ubuntu...
