New "VNC" viewer for recent Kobo devices and firmware

[noobyme]

I got it working on Kobo Nia. Sad though can't see pointer and gnome screenshot has an animation effect now which delays how fast it can take screenshot.after googling Perhaps better to use scrot. But Wierd thing is I can't get both scrot or gnome screenshot to include pointer from the cmd line. Why is this?

Also doable via windows too? Using putty? If only there was a cli screenshot tool

Okay actually scrot screenshot with pointer does work after all

Replace 'gnome-screenshot - p' with 'scrot - p /tmp/continuous.png - - overwrite' et voila

Did you try ananchovy's rust vnc client?

It is even newer.
It's amusing though to see NiMa's humble beginnings, now that he went on to help produce an entire OS (InkBox).

You never know - this older project could end up working out better for you, so I don't think your effort was wasted.

Szybet gave a demo of his mirroring app which had video mirroring performance the rust vnc client couldn't match, but the rust vnc app performed well at small screen disturbances, e.g. making changes in an editor.

just to note about this rust vnc app

I couldn't make it to work. A Inkbox developer who knows rust. Trust me I tried everything. Maybe the nia is cursed with this one but I haven't seen any device specific problems.
