Open Source Python Screen Mirroring Software

The idea is to replicate what Chromecast can do in regards to screen mirroring and streaming media to a remote display. Google chromes screen mirroring feature works well when used with a receiver such as Chromecast but this is a proprietary solution and audio does not work for desktop mirroring on some operating systems. At the moment, there is only a client for Debian/Ubuntu Operating systems and a server/receiver application for Raspberry pi. Mirrorcast aims to be a low latency screen mirroring solution with high-quality video and audio at 25-30fps, the later is why we will not use something like VNC. Mirrorcast uses up about the same amount of system resources as google chromes cast feature. The delay is less than 1 second on most networks. To achieve this we will use existing FOSS software such as ffmpeg, mpv, and omxplayer.
