Ok, finally got it to work: ganyremote must be started with sudo smartphone must already be connected on bluetooth use my old smartphone with Android 4.4.4 When I press "Search" on my old Samsung smartphone, it too keeps searching forever, but pressing the bluetooth button with the PC name does the job. No success with my (relatively) new Xiaomei Redmi Note 7 with Android 11 and LineageOS.

One more thing: When I start ganyremote from the command line, it responds with a bunch of warnings, and the last line is "anyremote: no process found". No idea what this means, the ganyremote window opens nevertheless, and the program behaves as described above.

Ok, did it. PC: ganyremote: Ready to connect ... Mobile: anyremote: Search / Bluetooth / Search: keeps searching forever. There was a warning that the app was written for an older Android version and might not work correctly. I am on LineageOS, Android version 11. I keep some Google apps disabled (Google services framework), but apps usually emit a warning if they depend on that.

Sorry, cannot help you any further. All I achieved so far is stopping ganyremote to complain about the -C option.

Running ganyremote on my Linux Mint system, I see the following status line: Ready to connect on TCP port 5197, Bluetooth channel 19, HTTP port 5080, Avahi What must I do for the connction in fact taking place? I followed the instructions, and ganyremote / Setup / only complains abot the j2me not being installed. Might this be the reason?

Have a look at the "Tips and Tricks" section: http://anyremote.sourceforge.net/tips-tricks.html On my Linux Mint system, I made the change in both mentioned files. /lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service: ExecStart=/usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd -C /etc/init.d/bluetooth: DAEMON="/usr/sbin/bluetoothd -C"

Hi gzotti It is just to thank for your hints, excuse the delay of my answer now. I followed your advice and gave up the generation of individual images, and returned to simply play stellarium and grab the screen. The final solution consisted in the reduction of the the screen resolution, and of a bash script which starts stellarium and a screen capture program (ffmpeg) with higher priorities. Don't know whether I really came up to the best solution of all the possible combinations of operating system,...

I tried recording, but the movie was not smooth enough, it was somewhat uneven, jerking. Probably my processing power is not up to date. I used VLC for that, have you another suggestion? Anyway, tomorrow I'll give recording another try with the computer at work, the deadline is approaching rapidly.

Scripting functions change over time. a single screenshot takes a good fraction of a second and is done asynchronously,...
