Add FFmpeg-based encoder/decoder with SPS/PPS extradata, Annex-B output normalization, low-latency libx264 settings, and a round-trip unit test. Includes review hardening: cached SwsContext, bitrate-only rate control, std::byte/uin8_t cast helpers, and richer test assertions.
screen_cast
A native Linux peer-to-peer screencast application.
- Send your desktop or a window to another Linux machine.
- Receive a stream and render it in a window.
- Built with C++20, Meson, PipeWire, FFmpeg, RTP/UDP, and SDL.
This project is in early development. The H.264 codec path is implemented; capture, transport, and rendering are still in progress.
Quick start
Requirements:
- C++20 compiler (GCC 12+, Clang 16+)
- Meson >= 0.63
- Ninja
- FFmpeg development packages (
libavcodec,libavutil,libswscale) - (later phases) PipeWire dev, SDL2/3 dev
Build and run tests:
meson setup build
meson compile -C build
meson test -C build --print-errorlogs
Run with verbose test output:
meson test -C build -v
Architecture
See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for module boundaries and design rules.
Roadmap
Development is split into phases in docs/PHASES.md.
Current phase: Phase 3 — PipeWire screen capture.
