remarkable-firmware VS reStream

remarkable-update & remarkable-firmware - So I use ddvk hacks w/ Lamy pen hacks as this device is pretty worthless without it IMO. However, since I don't connect anything to reMarkable, I update manually. Here's the update service and here's the firmware versions.

If the goal is to share the visual contents of the pad, why not just stream the graphics over SSH?

I recommend checking out reStream: https://github.com/rien/reStream/

reStream is a fantastic way to get live video of your reMarkable's screen without signing up for the reMarkable Cloud (which flakes out often with LiveView).

reStream is what you're looking for. rMview used to have a reStream-like feature, but it hasn't been updated in a long while.

reStream should work, even with the latest firmware. I know there's a "brightness" issue, but I can't report it because I won't use GitHub. Someone submitted a hacky pull request to fix it by adjusting ffmpeg brightness settings, which should work.

Check out restream if you want an alternative, it doesnt work quite as well over wifi but over cable it’s not bad, and it’s free

But you can just ssh into the remarkable, it runs a Linux kernel. And then install software you want. I only use reSnap (which i wrote) and reStream

reStream worked well for me before rmview added ScreenShare support. The main downside with reStream is that the screen share is grayscale (as you see on the tablet), whereas rmview with ScreenShare has color support.

I've been using https://github.com/rien/reStream, personally.

I recently installed reStream on my reMarkable 2. The screen mirroring works, however I am experiencing extremely high latency (over 4 seconds) both when connected via USB and Wifi. Does anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it? From what I've read the latency is expected to be much lower (which would make it a lot more usable).
