History

Pekka Paalanen 71ff95a544 build: separate deps for int and ext libweston users We have two kinds of libweston users: internal and external. Weston, the frontend, counts as an external user, and should not have access to libweston private headers. The shell plugins are external users as well, because we intend people to be able to write them. Renderers, backends, and some plugins are internal users who will need access to private headers. Create two different Meson dependency objects, one for each kind. This makes it less likely to accidentally use a private header. Screen-share is a Weston plugin and therefore counts as an external user, but it needs the backend API to deliver input. Until we are comfortable exposing public API for that purpose, let it use internal headers. Signed-off-by: Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paalanen@collabora.com>		2019-10-24 13:29:33 +03:00

README

	Remoting plugin for Weston


The Remoting plugin creates a streaming image of a virtual output and transmits
it to a remote host. It is currently only supported on the drm-backend. Virtual
outputs are created and configured by adding a remote-output section to
weston.ini. See man weston-drm(7) for configuration details. This plugin is
loaded automatically if any remote-output sections are present.

This plugin sends motion jpeg images to a client via RTP using gstreamer, and
so requires gstreamer-1.0. This plugin starts sending images immediately when
weston is run, and keeps sending them until weston shuts down. The image stream
can be received by any appropriately configured RTP client, but a sample
gstreamer RTP client script can be found at doc/scripts/remoting-client-receive.bash.

Script usage:
	remoting-client-receive.bash <PORT NUMBER>


How to compile
---------------
Set --enable-remoting=true when configuring weston. The remoting-plugin.so
module is created and installed in the libweston path.


How to configure weston.ini
