https://www.xpra.org/ https://www.xpra.org/ is an example of the video-codec style approach, it is per application/window like X11 and it is extremely usable even over very poor network conditions, and handles 60fps audio and video brilliantly.
Well worth checking out.
- philsnow 9y agoxpra is my favored tool out of plain X forwarding / vnc / (free)nx / x2go / etc, but one issue I have with it (at least last time I used it) is that it requires the version string to be identical on both client and server. This, combined with it being written in python, means that every distro packages it differently, has a different version number, and if you want to just clone it and run it yourself, now you have to deal with python / virtualenv / whatever hell. Other than that, it's pretty great.
- DonHopkins 9y agoIf you believe the README.txt files of downloads from The Pirate Bay, there exist some amazing video codecs that are so new and advanced that they can actually play episodes of Rick and Morty that haven't even been released yet! It's almost as good as inter-dimensional cable TV. And they are totally free: you just have to download and install some binary codecs from some Russian web site before watching the video.
