RE: VNC Viewer
No, VNC relies on X11 where XBMC uses the frambuffer, so this is not possible.

RE: VNC Viewer
As Koenkk already said, X11 and XBMC aren't good friends as there could be some problems with the libraries and XBMC isn't able to start anymore. But as I was testing some web browsers, I was able to get X11 and XBMC running side-by-side.
But please make a full backup of your SD card/installation before testing it, as I only tested it with XBMC RC1 and not with later versions. So it could be possible that your XBMC will not start anymore after installing X11. So please make a backup. 1. Open the command line of your Rpi 2. Shutdown XBMC Terminal sudo /etc/init.d/xbmc stop Terminal sudo apt-get install xorg sudo apt-get install lxde-core --no-install-recommends sudo apt-get install lxde-icon-theme Terminal sudo apt-get install xtightvncviewer Terminal startx When you click on the icon in the left corner, you should hopefully find a VNC viewer icon. If you tested all, leave the X11 envirnment or reboot the Rpi. If XBMC doesn't start anymore, try the following command from the command line: Terminal sudo dpkg --purge libtag1-vanilla:armhf libtag1c2a:armhf gstreamer0.10-plugins-good:armhf sudo /etc/init.d/xbmc start |

RE: VNC Viewer
I have dug around about this a bit. I was hoping to find a VNC SERVER for xbian so that I could remote control the GUI when needed.
I did, however, find a package that claims to be a vnc viewer that uses the framebuffer and does not require X11. Interestingly enough, it's available in the Raspbian repositories. it's called DirectVNC. I installed it because I was initially thinking that it was a server, but alas, is not. So I removed it without testing. You can install it with Code: apt-get-install directvnc If you try this, please report back. |
