Changes
/* Component */ - updated status and functionality of elements
=== Implemented ===
===== VNC =====
xtightvncviewer in reverse VNC listening mode on Pi
DISPLAY=:0 vncviewer -listen 0 -fullscreen -x11cursor #on pi (scripted already)
x11vnc or your favorite favourite server on your laptop, Veency on iOS, DroidVNC or others on Android
==== AirPlay & Chromecast ====
[http://www.vmlite.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=23&id=10991 rPlay] is used for everything AirPlay and Chromecast. Sending music over airplay works finemost of the time, mirroring works intermittently- seems to depend on the number of devices on the network. Chromecast works sometimes, it seems that Youtube works best right now. Streaming side-loaded google music or any DHCP content does not work.
'''Chromecast using rPlay does not function very well, do not hesitate to suggest alternative servers.'''
==== DLNA/UPnP ====
[https://github.com/hzeller/gmrender-resurrect Gmrender] is used for DLNA/UPnP. This works quite wellexcellently, apps on Android phones can stream music without difficulty to the sound system. If you're using apps like BubbleUPNP, make sure you deactivate your personal media server so that others can't see all the music/videos/photos on your device.
==== PulseAudio ====
[http://www.foell.org/justin/raspberry-pulse/ Raspberry Pi pulse audio guide.] This was a pain to set up, however now you can select 'bcm2835 ALSA Analog Stereo on pulse@projector' on your laptop that has pulseaudio. Doesn't work very well over WiFi. There also seem to be issues with discovery, debian doesn't seem to pick it up, but ubuntu does - to be troubleshooted.
=== Not Implemented===
* '''HTTP x264/h264 Desktop Mirroring''' allows for less lag/higher framerate compared with VNC, seeing as the RPi has a hardware decoder, and compression helps overcome the RPi's bandwidth limitations (100mbit). [http://www.oblivion-software.de/index.php?id=56&type=98 Installing VLC with hardware acceleration on Pi]. [http://www.waitwut.info/blog/2013/06/07/desktop-streaming-with-vlc/ Using VLC for screen sharing]. Status: VLC installed, but was a huge massive pain to be implementedset up with proper hardware rendering. First attempts failedShould work, but it's untested and un-configured yet.
* [https://github.com/irtimmer/limelight-pi '''Limelight'''] is an open-source Java client which allows you to stream games from your home PC (as long as you have an Nvidia GTX 600 or 700 Series graphics card and enough bandwidth on your home network) to the Raspberry Pi that’s attached to your television. Status: not implemented, may be installed if there is demand in the future.
* '''MPD''' is a music player demon that runs on a server, and is controllable from any device connected to the network. [http://www.raspyfi.com/ RaspyFi] is a distro specifically made for this. Status: not implemented, this is currently [https://fixme.ch/wiki/MPD_Daemon handled by foo].
* '''MiraCast''' offers native screen sharing for many Android devices. Status: OSS implementation wasn't available when the project started, however there is one now ([https://github.com/codemonkeyricky/piracast Piracast]) which requires a TP-Link dongle and doesn't work with DRMd material. May be implemented in the future.
* '''RDP''' is a Windows remote desktop utility, although proprietary, there are open source clients such as [https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP FreeRDP]. Status: in the future if there is demand.
* '''Spotify ''' will play most music you want, and can be used on the Pi using [http://www.woutervanwijk.nl/pimusicbox/ mopidy]. Nevertheless, it requires someone with a premium subscription. Status: if someone has a premium subscription they're willing to share, let us know.
