Capture audio and video from the desktop and stream it to the local network using avconv and vlc.
Python Script
You can just run the python module and - if you install this package - you could also start the provided script from the console or your desktop shell.
Usage
Start the package like this python -m desktopstreamer [options]. Or use the startup script like this:
stream_desktop [-n|--gui] [-a|-A] [capture options] [stream options] stream_desktop --version stream_desktop --help
To use it in your desktop shell, a .desktop file is provided.
Install
The easiest way to install this package is trough pip:
pip install --user desktopstreamer
Or download the latest source (or get it trough git clone ...) and install it like this (from the sources root directory):
python setup.py install --user
Dependencies
You don’t need to install any Python dependencies.
Requirements
avconv and vlc are required though. Install them like this:
Debian / Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libav-tools vlc
Setup
You can use the provided .desktop file and icon from the data/ directory to start the script from your desktop shell.
Settings
You can use a file to store the settings in a JSON dictionary.
The default location is ~/.config/DesktopStreamer/settings.json. The supported keys are the capture and stream long-options (with _ instead of -).
To store settings in this file, use the --save option. If you use it, the current settings are stored and previous settings are overwritten. You can create and edit it manually too.
Here’s some example content:
{
"port": 420,
"res_out": "1280x720"
}The settings from this file are applied, if you use the --load option.
Shell Script
You can source the data/stream_desktop.sh in your .bash_aliases or similar to get a quick stream_desktop command. The python script has more options though.
