Ipad TV Mirror

[Realist]

Guys,

I have a chromcast but that will not allow me to mirror my Ipad to the TV or my projector so.

What alternative are available apart from buying a Apple TV just for mirroring which is a waste of money.

Don't think there is anything else other than Apple TV to mirror the iPad to be honest.

Any HTPC running Kodi should work with AirPlay:

But I don't believe this supports mirroring :/

Not watched this but take a look:

if its for streaming movie from bunnymovie or another app on ipad to watch on projector/tv then I just use apple av cable which is lighting to hdmi

mind your pals in tech department built some sort protection in to skyGo so cant do it with that

I might as well get a cheap Apple TV and use that.

All done and dusted then.

Thanks guys.

How is the projector. Got my room all sorted and will be installing it at the weekend.

Fantastic, I stream my Sky, DVD player, Xbox, Chromecast and dreambox all through it via a HD switch so I can use either the TV or screen.

The Xbox on a 100" 16:9 screen is ace cant fault it but their is one drawback.

I now watch the screen more than the 55" TV I have and it has made the TV redundant of sorts.

Awesome. I have wired everything up ready, so I can quickly whack a HDMI cable into a plate on the wall. It then passes through a Soundbar (v1.4a so 3D compatible) and back to the projector.
I just hope the cabling works!!! I have plastered over it all etc.....

You had best get saving for a replacement lamp! How far away is the projector from the screen?

Mounted mine on a temporary shelf last night, it is too far away from the wall, probably by 75cm and I probably need it upside down.
I thought that you had more to play with in terms of moving the image up/down and the size of the image produced but clearly I am a noob!

The good news is all the cables I put in place and face plates with connectors work 100% fine I now have to tell her indoors that we need a ceiling mount... Just hope it does not upset her too much.
She was impressed though once it was on.
