dispmanx_vnc : a vnc server in xbian - belese - 15th Aug, 2013 10:59 PM
Hi,
i've managed to run vncserver from here :
https://github.com/hanzelpeter/dispmanx_vnc
if someone is interested, here's how i've done
ps : it's the same that raspbmc use.
to install on xbian :
1. Install dependency :
sudo sudo apt-get install git libvncserver-dev gcc
2. Clone repository :
git clone https://github.com/hanzelpeter/dispmanx_vnc.git
3. Compile.
cd dispmanx_vnc/
chmod +x makeit
./makeit
4. Load uinput module.
sudo modprobe uinput
sudo chmod 666 /dev/uinput
5. Start
./dispman_vncserver
My conclusion:
it's not usable for watching video, as frame rate drop to 4 Fps for sd video. in xbmc home, fps is around 15 fps.
keyboard and mouse react quite well.
it also quite cpu intensive (around 30%)
could be usefull for developement (or other?) if not access to tv screen
ps :
i run it from pre beta2 test, for others version, it need a recent firwmare. don't test with beta1.1, maybe it's already ok with firmware.

belese, what resolution are you using ???
at 1920x1080 is constantly at 100% cpu
RE: dispmanx_vnc : a vnc server in xbian - belese - 16th Aug, 2013 02:14 AM
standard 720p with fresh beta 2 install. (no oc).
but like i explain, it's not really useable,
but debugging xbmc addon on pi is easier.
and 30 % is only for vnc process.

yes i understand it is only for vnc. i stopped xbmc, started splash to init FB, started vnc. 98%.
will try lower resolution.
