a gstreamer based remote desktop (only video at the moment) streaming client and streamer mostly written in python.

(vnc like but for low bandwith networks but needs a good server cpu (recomment 2ghz dual core (cant have enough of that))
What does it? I made videos for you: n900 connected to openvpn via 3g connected to dsl server serving the desktop,
browsing the net and watching a "HD" youtube video. (sorry for bad quality my n900 was in use, videos are in alpa.tar.gz)

First: All is done at your own risk! Look at the code if you are unsure.

Features:
video is x264 encoded
you can zoom and scroll remotely
basic keyboard support
touchscreen cant act as mouse-touchpad-relative-"view follows pointer" (hoover mode possible),
touchscreen-absolute input or just as scroll device
volume keys act as mousekeys (first click acts strange somehow(shows volume bar again))
network is udp based
supposed to work over 300 ms, 1 mbit network connection (so 3g client to dsl server was the goal
(there is room for improvement))
python based: easy hackable!
n900 uses dsp! (amazing)

ugly things:
you probably have to compile a gstreamer plugin for the server side, the cheap way i do it, is messy and takes a while
everything is barely working
i guess it is a security nightmare (but it is assumed to work over a vpn, trusted enviroment)
there are useless buttons and text entrys

known bugs:
this is alpha.. endless bugs and missing execeptions and crashes (not too often i hope)
it should not harm..

missing features:
sound
zoom/focus to pointer
right click in touchsreen mode per long press (all timing based recognition is missing)
latency slider in gui (a nicer gui)
tab/esc keys
much more

Is it working for you?
