h264 in vnc experiment (server)

This is an experiment of integrating a h264 encoder/decoder in vnc. Motivation was to get a acceptable remote desktop for the raspberry pi.

client (https://github.com/martin19/noVNC)

converted noVNC client (https://github.com/novnc/noVNC) to typescript and integrated a wasm h264 decoder (https://github.com/gliese1337/h264decoder).

server (https://github.com/martin19/libvncserver)

integrated openh264 (https://github.com/cisco/openh264) and raspberry PI MMAL libraries into libvncserver (https://github.com/LibVNC/libvncserver)

  • The protocol is somehow ad-hoc - at the time of creating this there was no "official" h264 spec for vnc.
  • this is experimental so don't expect everything to work without some tinkering
