Using VNC Client to control host

Open Informatic opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Hey,

I've been thinking of adding VNC client to the webOS service (as an option) to control the host - what are your opinions on this? I can try implementing that. Of course this complicates the setup (ie. connection needs to be initiated from the TV side, after entering all the credentials there...), but besides that, security wise, is probably equal to our existing setup. (with added auth)

This has an advantage of being able to control more platforms, where magic4pc agent is not present (at least yet) - Linux, MacOS, Android...

There's some library for NodeJS already that seems fairly functional, after a quick glance (includes auth and pointer/key event support, which should probably be enough for us) - https://www.npmjs.com/package/rfb2
