 I am adding all the issues that I faced with tips on how to solve them.
+Step 7 may need to be repeated a few times until it works. It might either need to close and open the (Cast to device - [name of device] or Play to - [name of device] depending on the Windows platform a few times until it works. If the content shows with an "X" on it, then just press on pause or stop and then play try to play it again.
 After rebooting Windows, the Serviio server won’t show anymore because it will be offline So to bring it back online you will need to create and run the below script as Administrator. Then the server will show again. To create a batch file script, just open a text file and paste the below in it and then save and change the extension of the file to “.bat”. The batch file can be re-edited by a mouse right click and edit. The batch file is for Windows 64 Bit running Serviio 2.1 (might require editing for 32-bit Windows). After the 2nd script is completed it will close the console, so just reopen the console.

 **IP addresses
 **
-It is important to maintain the same IP address for the PC. If the IP address changes then the added media server will stay offline and will not come back online until the IP address is restored or the Media server is removed and re-added again like in step 4, 5. It might also be possible to keep the server and just add a new one. This would also apply for the added Miracast device(s).

-IP address can be reserved from the router. You can do this by logging onto the router. If you are on a small network then you can just assign a static IP for your PC. Ping the IP address before choosing one. The 5 should not be in-use which are from 250-254.

 You will need to maintain the same Subnet Mask and Default Gateway when changing the IP address of the PC manually.

 Spacedesk can be tested from any smart device.
+Unlike Miracast, Spacedesk does not send the Audio to the other screen. So the sound will be from the PC.
