Lugging the backend computer into the living room is another possible solution. To take advantage of this for a live desktop session, some machine somewhere would have to encode the video in real time then stream it to your pi where you display the session inside of a program like XBMC running in full screen mode.įor a more practical solution, I think you would be better off sending the video from the backend computer directly to the display in the living room and send the keyboard and mouse signals from the living room directly to the backend computer. You would need some very fancy hardware and you would probably have to write your own codeġ080p can be "magically fast" on slow hardware by using the GPU to decode and display the video. How can I go about compressing and forwarding an entire xfce4 session that way?ĪFAIK there is on off-the-shelf solution for this. Can I use something other than SSH that doesn't encrypt? This is just forwarding over the local network. The graphics hardware on the Pi is not used by X, so as a desktop, its a tad slow. The X Server only uses the framebuffer dirver, so the CPU has to do all the drawing. Its what the other suggestions here do and how XBMC does 1080p on a Pi. Ssh decryption is fairly compute intensive too, which is the issue with your Pandaboard. Thats almost 4G, then you need to add the TCP/IP overhead. What could the CPU be struggling with? I'm able to play 720p smoothly on the Pandaboard in vlc and mplayer.ġ080p is composed of 1920 * 1080 * 32 * 60 data bits per second. I tried with and without the -C compression flag. 'top' showed the ssh process was over 100% CPU even in the window. With the lowest resolution of 144p, video was semi-smooth in the small window but very choppy at fullscreen. If performance is good, it would be a really cool thing. I may end up doing that, but I'd like to have a full desktop too so I want to see if I can make that happen. What about using compression that the Pi can decode in hardware? You can't quite get 1080p to fit itto a 1Gb link without compresson Those that have never had a hard drive fail. You can't quite get 1080p to fit itto a 1Gb link without compresson and the Pi doesn't even have a 1Gb ethernet, so you will be very disappointed.Īs khayyam says, you need to use the Pi as a media player. Has anyone tried watching a video over X11 forwarding? Would VNC or something else be a better choice? you probably want a UPnP AV media server.įrom what I've read, a Raspberry Pi is not fast enough to run even a very minimal desktop like LXDE satisfactorily so X11 forwarding seems like it could be a good choice for getting an xfce4 desktop on there. Posted: Mon 6:40 pm Post subject: Re: X11 forwarding & HD video If so, is there a way to stream only decoded video like jack does with audio? If I run the session on a fast system in another room and use X11 forwarding to display it on the RPi over an ethernet network, will I be disappointed with HD video performance? I'd like to run an xfce4 session on my TV with only a Raspberry Pi in the living room.
