Screenshots streaming #7

The screenshot.png file should be a screenshot sent from a device. If the device is not the host, the screenshot should be streamed to the raspberry (maybe over HTTP?)

As of now, the screenshot to be "pinned" on the Kindle is copied over the Pi via scp right after taking the screenshot, like so: scp -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa_raspi ~/screenshot.png pi@192.168.1.84:KindleCalendar/

On the Pi is a file watcher looking for changes so it will notice the new screenshot and pin it to the Kindle.

A perhaps better way to do this is to send the screenshot to the Pi via HTTP upload or something like this, feel free to implement this if you can and want.

I used a python script to upload it and allowed me to take custom regions for the screenshot

StarNumber12046 commented 2 years ago

I will make it more prod-ready and open a PR

Taking a custom region and uploading it doesn't require a custom program, a custom launcher or key binding is more than enough for that. What I'm more interested in seeing is an http upload method implemented on the node web server, so we can get rid of the scp upload

Yes, it should be useful. Also, my implementation is cross os-compatible
