7.5M0 bug: breaks Miracast cloning mode and excessive drain on connected standby.

BurningOrange · 12-16-2013, 10:53 PM

Hi JamesH, have you managed to replicate the Miracast mirroring bug ?

JamesH · 12-20-2013, 01:32 PM

Hi,

Not yet on the system we have- I've raised this internally for further investigation.

Thanks,
James

Hi,

After a lot of faff, I've finally managed to get Miracast working (extend & clone) on the Belkin ScreenCast that I have. Will report back on how I get on with this and the Dell Venue 8 Pro next week.

Thanks,
James

BillATS, that's a good point. No, I have not tried it with the 7.4 drivers, only with the 7.5M0 drivers. I'll give that a go.

JamesH: I'm looking forward to seeing what your results are. Miracast is probably not ready for prime-time yet, I find it a bit fussy about connecting 5.1audio, and it crashes the Wifi card upon disconnection. But I think that may be a Dell Venue 8 Pro problem because the crashes also happens with bluetooth too (nothing to do with Displaylink).

Hi guys dell driver for inter chipset rel from dec 02 13 works, with netgear, however you have to go to desktop and setup profile for miracast with intel application and configure it to clone.

I also have surface pro and that device works fine with netgear, however I have major issues when I want to use BT k/m and miracast did you experience any issues with this kind of setup?

Thanks Michael

I have a dell venue 8 pro as well and can reproduce this same problem with both the 7.4 and 7.5 drivers. Its truly frustrating. I have to uninstall the display link drivers in order to mirror miracast onto my TV, then install them to hook up to my display link dock.

I'm really interested in a solution here. Thanks.

I got the same miracast issue with my Dell venue 8 pro. I can't clone/mirror in miracast mode when displaylink drivers are installed. I'm using the Netgear PTV3000 and an ebay miracast dongle (ipazzport/rockchip) so its not adapter specific.

I have to uninstall the displaylink software to get the clone feature back in miracast.

I also get the excessive battery drain on connected standby when displaylink drivers are installed.

This was with v7.4 drivers

Hi,

The next release due out at the end of this month has a fix for the battery drain issue when your adapter / dock / monitor is disconnected from your tablet / notebook.

The Miracast issue is still being investigated.

Thanks,
James

Hi,

R7.5M1 with this fix is now available here:

Let me know how you get on.

Thanks,
James

Great. It looks like the new driver has fixed the connected standby issue. I have not had an excessive drain since yesterday. Haven't been able to try the Miracast cloning yet, but will report back.

Thanks for working on this.
