Miracast Setup:

To enable Miracast on VRX040, first you need to go into "Settings" and turn ON the wifi adapter.  You should NOT connect the wifi to your network (wired connection is active).

Next, start the "Miracast" app:

The default settings in the app should already be correct.  You can see the device name on the screen.  You do not need to change the device name since only devices currently IN the Miracast app are discoverable from your source devices.

Finally, create a NetPlay source for the Miracast app.  This will allow you to start the app via your standard source selection controls.  The Android app URL is:   android-app://com.droidlogic.miracast#Intent;component=com.droidlogic.miracast/.WiFiDirectMainActivity;end

Now you are done with setup.

Connecting to your VRX040 using Miracast:

On the VRX040:

1. Start the Miracast app (select the NetPlay Miracast source) on the VRX you wish to stream to

On your Windows device:

1. To start Screen Mirroring, type "Display" in the windows search field.  Then select "Display settings".  From the Display settings screen, select "Connect to a wireless display" and then select the VRX040 device on the right.  On mobile / touch interface, you can also swipe from the right edge to select wireless displays.
   
   

2. Next select "Duplicate" if you want to mirror your screen.  You can also use "Extend" to create a secondary display.
   
   

3. If this is the first time this device has connected to this VRX040, you will need to "Allow" this connection on the VRX040 (using it's remote).

4. Your Screen will now be mirrored.  If you get a black screen on the VRX or other unexpected results, see troubleshooting below.

5. Use the "Disconnect" button at the top of the screen to end mirroring.

6. VRX040 will return to the Home screen.  Select a NetPlay stream if desired.

On your Android device:

1. Select Screen Mirroring from your device quick menu.  On some devices, this is called "Cast".  On others, it is "SmartView".

2. The device name that is showing on the VRX040 screen should show up in the list of device you can mirror to.  If it does not show up, walk a little closer to the VRX040 and wait 10 seconds.  If it still does not show up in the list, your Android device does not support Miracast or WFD.

3. Select the device name from the list.

4. If this is the first time this device has connected to this VRX040, you will need to "Allow" this connection on the VRX040 (using it's remote).

5. Your Screen will now be mirrored.
