Windows Client #4

tuxfoo commented 6 years ago

I might start working on a Windows client later this year.

I do not use Windows, so it will be interesting.

I plan on implementing all the features that are in the current Debian client in the following order.

  1. Sort Receivers into a tidy list(Very useful if you have lots of receivers).
  2. Screen Mirroring
  3. Screen Freezing
  4. Select which display to mirror(In case a user has more than a single display)
  5. Play Youtube URL's (Should be very easy)
  6. Play media files (Will probably use nodejs for windows as well)
  7. Play DVD's (Not sure if we can use nbd-server on windows, so maybe a Samba share?)
  8. Change resolution to match receiving device (I think this can be done using pywin32)

Currently this will not run on android. I have no plans on adding the ability to control the host device from the client.

I would suggest trying an open-source VNC client for android or steam link.

In fact, if you have a Pi that has omxplayer, you can try https://www.f-droid.org/en/packages/info.dvkr.screenstream/, and run omxplayer http://ip.of.the.android/Stream.mp4.

For windows, lazycast works quite well and it does not appear to conflict with this mirrorcast project so you can run them both at the same time for both Ubuntu and Windows screen mirroring.

If I can find the time, I will upload a preconfigured Raspbian image that has Mirrorcast and Lazycast.
