I own a SmartTV from Thomson that supports "Miracast" for "Screen Mirroring", and I have successfull tested it on Android-Device.

Now my question is what software I need in Ubuntu 18.04 to mirror the screen + sound from Linux to SmartTV.

Unfortunately, I have not found anything on this.

There's Miraclecast,

And instructions / a discussion from a few years back... I do not know if this has become more user friendly since, or not.

I looked into this a while back when I got a "smart tv", and ended up making the the lazy decision to buy a chromecast device instead.

2021. Plex as an app on my Hisense TV, so I installed plex server on my Ubuntu 18.04 PC and works 100%.

The easiest and user-friendliest options are probably:

1. Test the build-in "Cast..." functionality in the Chromium browser or ...

2. Install MkChromecast directly from the official Ubuntu 18.04 ppa:

   sudo apt-get install mkchromecast
   mkchromecast
