Yeah I had seen that. Thanks for pointing it out. I didn't have time to investigate it thoroughly though. It is quite appealing for our need although I am not clear on what the client receiving this should look like (VLC perhaps?). The input can indeed be a problem, but might be an easier problem to address than the screen sharing part. My understanding was that it creates a separate output whereas we need to always display on our LCD and stream only that output. Thanks for discussing this with me.
