Screen (source code) is a terminal multiplexer implementation often used during Python development on Linux and macOS operating systems. Screen makes it easier for programmers to use many shells within a single terminal window while developing their applications.
Hi I'm stuck and I did not find anything helpful on the internet. I'm trying to make a screen-sharing program in python. The problem is that I can't send the screen in at least 24 fps, because when I take a screenshot with PIL (ImageGrab), something delays there. my client will get the picture (screenshot) from the server and "blit" it to the screen using pygame.
Server:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import socket
import os
import threading
from PIL import ImageGrab
def RetrFile(name, sock):
while 1:
img = ImageGrab.grab()
img.save("PATH_TO_PIC")
filename = "PATH_TO_PIC"
sock.send(str(os.path.getsize(filename)))
with open('PATH_TO_PIC', 'rb') as f:
bytesToSend = f.read(1024)
sock.send(bytesToSend)
while bytesToSend != "":
bytesToSend = f.read(1024)
sock.send(bytesToSend)
def Main():
host = '0.0.0.0'
port = 5000
s = socket.socket()
s.bind((host,port))
s.listen(5)
print "Server Started."
while True:
c, addr = s.accept()
print "Client connected ip: <"+ str(addr) + ">"
t = threading.Thread(target = RetrFile, args = ("retrThread", c))
t.start()
s.close()
if __name__ == '__main__':
Main()
Client:
import socket
import pygame as pg
def Main():
host = '127.0.0.1'
port = 5000
pg.init()
display_screen = pg.display.set_mode((1900, 1000))
clock = pg.time.Clock()
s = socket.socket()
s.connect((host,port))
filename = "PATH_TO_PIC"
isExit = False
while not isExit:
for event in pg.event.get():
if event.type == pg.QUIT:
isExit = True
data = s.recv(1024)
print data
filesize = long(data)
f = open(filename, 'wb')
data = s.recv(1024)
totalRecv = len(data)
f.write(data)
while totalRecv < filesize:
data = s.recv(1024)
totalRecv += len(data)
f.write(data)
showImg = pg.image.load('PATH_TO_PIC')
display_screen.blit(showImg, (0,0))
pg.display.flip()
clock.tick(60)
s.close()
if __name__ == '__main__':
Main()
Basically my question is: how to share a screen between 2 computers, I don't know if the way of sending a lot of pictures using PIL is efficient and right. is there a more efficient way? that casts the screen of computer no.1 and shows it at computer no.2 ?
