We are currently struggeling to get to connect a Linux (Pine) phone to a HDMI monitor. Very bad experience with micro-usb to HDMI adapter. We tested three of those, not all on the PinePhone, none of them worked.

Only one worked a long time ago, and was gone then and not replaceable. We bought a Google Chromecast 3, which worked right away with the Google apps from the Google play store. Unfortunately, big brother Google is always watching what you are watching on the screen.

But what are the alternatives? A Chrome browser installed on a Windows PC could stream to a Google Chromecast 3 without additional plugins. Unfortunately, whe could not find an installation instruction for Chrome for the PinePhone PostmarketOS. (We only go back to Ubuntu Touch for the PinePhone, if LibreOffice works on it.) But a Chrome browser could be an easy way to mirror your phone to a HDMI monitor when connected to a Google Chromecast.

@applee I want my four missing Xiaomi folders that I requested, or I will ignore everyone who is against it.

TechHut demonstrated, that it is possible to run Nextcloud, Jellyfin Media Server, and Minecraft Server on a PinePhone:

To run these servers on a Linux phone makes file access from phone much easier, and it makes it suitable for mobile use, where there is no cloud available or wanted. Developers wanted to develop a Nextcloud, Jellyfin Media Server, and Minecraft app which can be downloaded from the Ubports app store. If these apps are available, I will buy again a Ubports phone.

@lakotaubp Who decides whether a thread is used enough to discuss about a subject? Who gave you the authority to do this? This is a community, not a dictatorship. You can express our opinion, but you don t have the right to dictate what I should do.

I usually don t code, as you can see on my GITHUB page:

Linux phone developers, make file access from PC to Linux phone easier .
