Using FFmpeg streaming unix desktop to windows via UDP

"FFmpeg is a free and open-source project consisting of a vast software suite of libraries and programs for handling video, audio, and other multimedia files and streams."

FFmpeg is powerful, and sometime it is hard to figure out what exact the parameters to be used to achieve your goal with it. Today, we will teach you how to streaming Linux desktop to remote windows by using FFmpeg.

First, on your linux box start the FFmpeg streaming with the following command:

Note: The IP in the UDP url should be the remote windows IP. The FFmpeg will post the streaming data to that IP.

Then, on your remote windows box, start VLC 2.2.5 (an older version, be aware of that the current version 3.0.8, will not work, it just shows black screen when connect to the UDP streaming on windows), add a Network Stream:

udp://@0.0.0.01234

Voila, now you can view your Linux desktop on Windows now.
