Public bug reported:
THIS IS A KIND FEATURE REQUEST -- not a bug
Under System "Settings > Displays" it would be really nice, if
Chromecast devices were automatically detected and appeared like any
normal monitor that is connected directly to the computer; ie. unity-
control-center should transparently allow the Chromecast device to be
used as a secondary or even a primary monitor, configure mirroring,
launcher placement, scale and everything.
Resolutions of a chromecast is most likely fixed. But when configuring
a screencast-to-Chromecast from the Chrome browser, a image quality or
speed option is present. Maybe there should be room for this somewhere
in the unity-control-center's "Displays" window. Remember to state the
name of the Chromecast so one can tell multiple chromecasts from
another.
I've added a screenshot to demonstrate the idea.
Currently running Ubuntu 14.04, so I don't know if this has actually
been implemented in 15.04.
