Ultr@vnc Mirror Driver For Xbmc?
« on: May 25, 2007, 05:36:00 PM »

I think my title kind of sums it up. How possible would it be to create a driver that allows me to display my laptop on to my TV via a mirror driver ported for XBMC?

I would never pay ~$250 for a VGA-out to DVI or HDMI converter, but why not VGA or better via LAN?

Sorry that I don't have the ability to contribute to development, but I think it's a pretty decent idea (not to mention a nice merging of two fantastic sourceforge projects).

Thanks for feedback,
NS
