Anyone know of a working dongle, (other than the Microsoft one)... having a large Microsoft logo on my TV would be simply unacceptable.Jul 27, 2016
Once I get OTA-12 I'm hoping that might make a difference and the cheapo one I have might work better. I'll let you know once OTA-12 reaches me. :)Jul 27, 2016
+James Lewis looking for one as well.. Is there a list of working dongles?Jul 27, 2016
I only know of the Microsoft one (as that's the one I have). If you have a device which doesn't work, file a bug and give us the logs so we can add support for it, or add support yourself :)Jul 27, 2016
Honestly, if I was a developer, I would be working on Media Hub... but if there is no other obvious choice, and if someone knows of a good quality miracast dongle (which works well with another OS like Android and is capable of high resolution etc)... but does not work with Ubuntu, I will happily purchase several and hand them to Alan for use by the developers working on this system.Jul 27, 2016
+Alan Pope Thanks Alan, i unfortunately sold my dongle because it didn't work and bought a cable for M10. I should have send a log before i sold it.. 😥Jul 27, 2016
