Desktop mirroring

deusxm · September 19, 2018 at 11:53 AM

Random question - is there any way of mirroring a desktop from one PC to LibreELEC?

To clarify:

I have 2 devices - one Windows 10 laptop, and an Intel NUC running LibreELEC, which is connected to a TV

What I would like to do is mirror what's on my Windows 10 desktop onto LibreELEC - basically get what's on the screen on my laptop onto my TV via LibreELEC.

Any ideas please?

It is possible, there should be a VNC addon available somewhere.

Just don't expect the same video snappiness of the Kodi client on your own PC screen.

Ah, I don't mean being able to directly control the PC from Kodi - what I mean is to simply display what's on the desktop.

What I'm trying to do is use my laptop for gaming but effectively connect to a TV wirelessly - ie. sit with the laptop on my lap on my sofa, but have the display on my TV, without the need for an HDMI cable trailing across the room. Like a Chromecast/Miracast, but without the extra hardware.

That almost sounds like WiDi - Wireless Display, but that is something entirely different.

I don't think there is such a solution at the moment for displaying a screen towards Kodi. Also because Chromecast and Miracast are proprietary solutions, which is beyond the scope for Kodi.,

We looked at this already in the past but found no working solution. There is no proper solution out there besides miracast that is sadly proprietary and not working for us.

If you found something else pls tell us

maybe ??

I found this, in case it could be used to adapt to LibreElec/Kodi...

Is there an easy way to implement it?
