Possible new feature: remote sources.. One pc transmit video and the raspberry output it on the video (in a square, triangle etc). Possible? thx

Yes. TCPSyphon source is one of the next things I am going to implement.

This could be done with TCPSyphon or with a more common protocol like RTP/UDP. Syphon is nice when you have VJ software, RTP is cool because VLC can output it.

adding to this another request, an ability to use an hdmi input as a source

using a board such as this: http://auvidea.eu/index.php/theme-styles/2014-12-30-22-32-06/b102

yes. Problem with TCPSyphon. It will work if you have a windows or mac os desktop. If you have linux you can't output nothing (spout and syphon don't exist on linux)

thx for you software

Supporting remote sources would be absolutely wonderful.

If I'm correct, you're already using the FFMpeg API to access the video data, right ? If so, it looks like the possibility to access remote sources is part of it.

For example, I use OMXPlayer with remote sources simply by giving it an SDP file, and I successfully display an H264 RTP (UDP) stream with no effort. Looking into OMXPlayer's code, I couldn't find any evidence of SDP parsing, but found some in FFMPeg's source. As OMXPlayer is using FFMpeg to access the video, I assumed by deduction that it would be feasible in ofxPiMapper.

By the way, ofxPiMapper is just brilliant, thanks !
