@swankybarbecue4 We don't officially support dual boot so advice might be a bit short in supply.

@applee said in Use Nexus 5 or OnePlus One as PC Webcam?:

One would need to modify heavily the system to accommodate for such new feature.

Not necessarily. One could write an app I guess, which uses QML/Qt components to control the camera, and serve the video and audio streams over rtsp or something on WiFI.

We also have our own PinePhone thread https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2403/pinephone/546 and Braveheart thread https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3931/pinephone-braveheart/46 If PinePhone questions could be kept to one of those it would probably help everybody interested in PinePhone.

I found out that some apps are working, but if I'm remembering correctly, usually the morph browser that I used in Ubuntu touch as the vnc client, gave me problems. If Morph would be more modern it would work, but sometimes when I needed to enter some text somewhere, Morph wouldn't give me a keyboard etc

I was thinking about Guacamole or DWService

Could't get it going...

(did not try Anbox / teamviewer by the way)

You cannot meaningfully judge if an app will suit your needs just by the screenshots now, can you?

Maybe you should search an alternative open source solution, like this one : https://moonlight-stream.org/
Maybe it will be easier to motivate people porting it to uTouch.
Note that i just did a quick search and maybe there is beter open source solution for remote game streaming.

@moem Yes that'd be great. I hope we can get it added to the installer soon but I haven't looked into it much yet.
