So a blog post
http://blog.roku.com/blog/2014/10/02/in ... d-devices/ yesterday announced an ambiguously Miracast-ish sounding screen mirroring,
which is to work from
some new Android and Windows 8.1 devices to Roku 3 and HDMI Stick, with firmware 5.6+.
And that is great! My highest regards to those inside that made it happen!
I am sure implementing it was difficult - my mere efforts once to make WiDi work between a Netgear NeoTV and Dell laptop gave me healthy dose of fear and respect.
I have a question, how does mirroring stand from app developer's point of view?
Is it a (hidden) standalone channel - akin to "Play on Roku" one - that gets invoked, terminating the currently playing channel?
Or is it that previous channel will get paused till mirroring ends?
