webos-vncserver

An somewhat hacky VNC server for WebOS.

Requires root privileges.

Usage

# ./webos-vncserver 640 360

You should then be able to connect via a VNC client of your choice, on port 5900.

Here it is, running on a "headless" TV motherboard, being accessed via a VNC mobile app.

Keybindings

• SUPER ("Windows") button is HOME
• Right mouse button is BACK
• Mouse scroll should properly be interpreted as scrollwheel

Caveats

• This does not capture any hardware-accelerated video surfaces, only the UI layers.

Compiling

To cross-compile for WebOS, you will need an NDK: https://github.com/webosbrew/meta-lg-webos-ndk

rm -rf build && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && cmake --build . --target webos-vncserver

You should have produced a webos-vncserver binary. Copy it over to your TV and run it as root!
