work. Not great, but it si a start.</p>
<p>I had a look at several approaches, for example

DLNA as described in 2011</a>, but it required a uPnP server, fuse and
local storage enough to store the stream locally. This is not going
to work well for me, lacking enough free space, and it would

rtp and rtsp recipes from

</pre></blockquote>
<p>I ssh-ed into my Kodi box and created a file like this with the
same IP address:</p>
<blockquote><pre>
-echo rtsp://192.168.0.4:8080/test.sdp > /storage/videos/screenstream.m3u
+echo rtsp://192.168.11.4:8080/test.sdp \
+> /storage/videos/screenstream.m3u
</pre></blockquote>
-<p>Next, first locate the file in Kodi and select the m3u file while
-the VLC stream is running. The desktop then show up in my big
-screen. :)</p>
+<p>Note the 192.168.11.4 IP address is my desktops IP address. As far
+as I can tell the IP must be hardcoded for this to work. In other
+words, if someone elses machine is going to do the steaming, you have
+to update screenstream.m4u on the Kodi machine and adjust the vlc
+repice. To get started, locate the file in Kodi and select the m3u
+file while the VLC stream is running. The desktop then show up in my
+big screen. :)</p>
<p>When using the same technique to stream a video file with audio,
the audio quality is really bad. No idea if the problem is package
