[Vnc2swf-users] pyvnc2swf-0.9.5 is out

[Yusuke S. <yu...@cs...>]

Hello,

I took a time this weekend, and now I can announce a new release:

  zip: http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/vnc2swf/pyvnc2swf-0.9.5.zip
  tgz: http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/vnc2swf/pyvnc2swf-0.9.5.tar.gz

This version of vnc2swf.py can take a vncLog file input as stream 
with -V option:

  $ cat log.vnc | ./vnc2swf.py -n -o log.flv -V

Furthermore, it can generate a flv stream directly:

  $ ./vnc2swf.py -n -t flv -o - | send_somewhere

With this and a web server combined, you can now broadcast
your live desktop on the web!

  $ tcpserver -vRHl0 localhost 10000 sh -c 
    'x11vnc -quiet -bg -nopw -viewonly -localhost -cursor -wait 10 -defer 10 >/dev/null 2>&1 && 
     echo HTTP/1.0 200 OK && echo Content-Type: video/x-flv && echo && 
     ./vnc2swf.py -n -t flv -s 0.5 -o -'

(Okay, I know this is just a crazy idea, and hope no one is gonna
take this very seriously... anyway)

Enjoy!

Yusuke
