I'm trying to "cast" my laptop's screen (Debian+GNOME) to my living room TV, either to an HDMI dongle or to the RPi connecting to it (LibreElec+Kodi) *without* resorting to a Chromecast and ideally only using FOSS.
It's revealing to be surprisingly difficult. Any suggestions?
@zacchiro maybe sunshine and moonlight depending on the content.
It’s designed for game streaming really but it might do what you want.
I used it before to play cyberpunk 2077 on the tv and at the time I was running Linux (cp2077 running in proton). I used an Xbox as the client as could never get the apple tv to do audio
@zacchiro basically you’d run sunshine on the computer and moonlight on the pi
@Dragon is this stuff FOSS? (not a gamer anymore, so I'm meeting this tech for the first time)
@zacchiro https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/ - https://app.lizardbyte.dev/Sunshine/?lng=en
On mobile at the moment they’re both opensource but can’t remember which licensing model they used
@Dragon awesome, thanks
@zacchiro @neil @Dragon I was thinking the same and it turns out this is addressed in the FAQ. Seems it works very well (I've only tested streaming games to an android tv box) https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-docs/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions
