Screencast

Screen casting for Lipstick

v0.4.5

This App is streaming the screen contents as MJPEG over HTTP using an multipart/x-mixed-replace server.

Simply open http://device_ip:5554 in any web browser. You can also connect to ports 554 or 5554 using a streaming client (tested with vlc).

Designed for presentations, it sends only changed frames. After connecting you will have to do something on the device, so new frames can be sent to clients.

It supports up to 16 clients at the same time, but more clients causes more lags :)

The Screencast daemon closes itself after the last client has disconnected. It waits for connections using s systemd socket, no active processes are spawned.

The application has no desktop icon, instead settings can be found under Settings -> System -> Screencast.

Taking over from Maemo/Meego/SailfishOS/AuroraOS legend CODeRUS, this is the maintainance version of his Screencast application.
