Where can I find the Miracast specification?

Question

I want to develop a Miracast application for Mac OS X. (that is, something to display images on a miracast-enabled device). The only problem I am currently facing is that I cannot find an official specification for this.

Is it possible that you need to be a member of the wi-fi alliance to get this specification? Is this even an open standard?

Or better: is there an open source library (miracast) that I can use?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Did you see it? http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/openwfd/

As for the wi-fi alliance, you don’t need to be a member, but it will cost you $ 199: https://www.wi-fi.org/wi-fi-display-technical-specification-v11

Answer 2

The Wifi Display specification is currently free (as at $ 0.0). Download still requires agreement with the license agreement and, apparently, has no right to redistribute.

In addition, WDS is a new but fairly complete implementation for Linux, and should be easily ported to other platforms, as it is trying very hard to preserve agnostic regarding the stacks used for multimedia playback and Wi-Fi Direct. However, the most difficult bit in Miracast seems to be Wi-Fi Direct, so if your platform does not support this well, you are pretty much out of luck ...

Disclaimer: I was working on a WDS project.

Answer 3

As @Constantinos said you would have to pay $ 200 to get specifications through the wi-fi alliance.
Or, as you ask, you can look at the following implementation available on the Internet:
Java or C
I think there is enough example here to do what you want.
