FluxCast is a Python-based tool that streams a Linux desktop to a smart TV using Miracast (WFD), with DLNA and Chromecast as fallbacks. It handles Wi-Fi Direct, screen/audio capture, H.264/AAC encoding, and RTP streaming, supporting various Linux desktop environments. The project is notable for filling a gap in Linux screen casting, with extensive documentation and multi-language support.

Target audience: Linux desktop users, especially those on Wayland/Hyprland, and developers interested in screen casting protocols
