Hello, i just registered to post about my success on streaming desktop to my 40" and 32" Samsung smart TVs.
I've actually been using a different way unsuccessfully to stream desktop to roku. That is from here:
http://www.ragingcomputer.com/2013/03/http-live-streaming-windows-desktop-to-roku-using-vlc/comment-page-1#comment-11600I had been using serviio for a month now to stream movies and music to the same tvs as well as a roku. And i found this thread which helped me understand the code entered into vlc for output. Before i was only getting a stream with diagonal lines like the past on page 11.
I haven't had a chance to try my code used in this thread on my roku. I'm away from home so i can't post what works. But i wanted to post my hardware.
Sony laptop with i5 and nvidia gpu, Wi-Fi N@300mbps. I found that the UScreenCapture works better than screen capture recorder for me. Uscreen uses about 60% processor while screen capture recorder was using 90-100%.
I had to revert back to vlc version 1.1.11. The latest 2.1.5 would work for about 15 second but crash and close the stream for some reason.
I'm going to try this same code that works on a desktop with an i3 buy no GPU. This desktop is used as a HTPC and i want to stream desktop to some rokus to other tvs. It is hardwired with cat6 to the router 1000mbps. But i think the i3 processor is going to be too slow.
Do you think a i5/i7 CPU or a GPU would help? I know a new processor with quad core would be best. But going that route i would have to upgrade the motherboard too. I think vlc uses gpu?
Sorry, when i get home i will post my StreamDesktop code
