And we could then turn our PC off and the display would be live on the tv still?

@sdetweil
Thank you!

Is there any other way that you can think of getting a display to show on that tv without rpi? Could we simply open the browser on the tv and it would display MM2 if we run it through serveronly mode?

Through reading many tutorials and looking at modules, We understand that we can run MM2 on our PC and chromecast it via a Google tab to the display on our tv.

But do we have to keep the tab open and/or the PC on at all times for MM2 to display on the tv in the kitchen?

Good morning. Husband and I are interested in building a smart board together. We have been scouring the forum for weeks and compiling the items we have on hand.

We will be using our pc, chromecast and an extra tv for our display in our kitchen.

We know we can chromecast from our pc to the tv via serveronly. The only question is if we can close the tab or shutdown the pc AFTER we begin casting and will it continue to display? Or can we use our fire tv stick and run the browser only?

Any help for us first timers is much appreciated!
