This library allows one to compile droidVNCserver without having AOSP. Screen grabbing is performed by this library, which is compiled against AOSP.
LibVNCServer with the Tight PNG encoding
LibVNCServer
Copyright (C) 2001-2003 Johannes E. Schindelin
LibVNCServer is a library for easy implementation of a RDP/VNC server.
Tight PNG
Copyright (C) 2010 Joel Martin
The Tight PNG encoding is similar to the Tight encoding, but the basic compression (zlib) is replaced with PNG data.
This encoding allows for simple, fast clients and bandwidth efficient clients:
- The PNG data can be rendered directly by the client so there is negligible decode work needed in the VNC client itself.
- PNG images are zlib compressed internally (along with other optimizations) so tightPng is comparable in bandwith to tight.
- PNG images are natively supported in the browsers. This is optimal for web based VNC clients such as noVNC
Usage
See INSTALL for build instructions. To build with the tightPng encoding, you must also have libpng development libraries install. For example:
sudo apt-get install libpng-dev
TODO
- Handle palette mode (non-truecolor).
