![]() My solutions depend on Android Set Top boxes running Kodi, and a Macbook Air to navigate. So in my case - I have my entire setup set up, so that I can control my Android TV box (not an Apple TV ) from my Macbook, that I can hand over any videolink from my macbook, and then can close it up, have it go into standby and the streaming video is still streaming on the settop box natively. (- fifth might be aspect ratio (if your PC sports a 16:10 monitor, and you want to stream on a 16:9 TV, most of those 'PC apps' are "most easy" for the novice user, so resolution switching might be beyond their capabilities. (- fourth is, that you have to actually reencode and decode video in realtime, which for many usecases (watching video) simply isn't needed). third is, that your PC has to run all the time, while you are doing something on your TV - and with modern set top boxes, this simply isn't needed anymore (if your usecase is video watching). second is framerate mismatch- so most of those streaming solutions will stream your screen at 60fps, while most movies usually play at 24fps, causing - judder (skips while panning), thats actually why I wont use any of those solutions myself first is lag (so its not suitable for gaming), because the video feed usually needs to buffer, and they arent as cutting edge as some nvidia encoding solutions. Macbooks as well as PCs are open by default, so you don't need to jailbrek those either to install third party programs. ![]() Those programs usually have reverse engineered the Airplay protocol so they act as any Macbook would, initiating the same streaming feature. ![]() You should not need to jailbreak your device.
