Hi all, I have a Proxmox server hidden away where it annoys nobody, and a small PC I’m the TV cabinet that I need to turn On/OFF every time I use it and when a movie needs to be transcoded, the fan spins like crazy.
Have anybody tried to use a Windows VM and share the desktop with NDI? In this way I just need an NDI decoder behind the TV and all the job will be done by the server.
Any thoughts about this?
Edit: NDI: Network Device Interface: basically it’s an audio/video (and intercom) transmission over IP with low latency. The sender could be an hardware encoder or a software.
If you have a smart tv or chromecast ultra, you can install moonlight directly in your tv. If you’re still using a computer for the tv, at the very least using moonlight won’t make your client computer’s fan spins like crazy. You can even replace it with a low power computer like a raspberry pi.
Thanks, I’ll look into it. I’ve never heard of this moonlight/sunshine and I’m curious!

It’s mostly used for gaming, but it’s more like a souped up vnc with hardware acceleration support and low latency. I mostly use it to access my desktop remotely instead of for gaming. You can tune it between low latency or high quality depending on your use case.
