# ScreenStreaming for the Wii U [](https://travis-ci.org/Maschell/StreamingPluginWiiU)
|
|
|
|
## Still an early PROOF OF CONCEPT. DON'T EXCEPT MAGIC.
|
|
|
|
This is just a simple plugin that allows you to stream the content of the DRC to any browser.
|
|
Currently no configuration without recompiling is supported. It streams in a resolution of 428x240 and tries to achieve 20 fps. This numbers might improve in the future.
|
|
|
|
But general notes:
|
|
- This is still an early PoC
|
|
- Encoding is done in software note hardware
|
|
- It probably affects gameplay. Loading times are increased, the games could lag. I wouldn't recommend you to play Online.
|
|
- All settings are hard coded in the code. In the future it will (hopefully) be possible to choose the screen to stream (TV or DRC), at which resolution and which quality.
|
|
- No streaming of the home menu.
|
|
- Probably unstable.
|
|
- Some games might be too dark some might be too bright or doesn't work at all.
|
|
- Currently streaming is achieved via "MJPEG via HTTP", this might change in the future to improve performance.
|
|
|
|
# Usage
|
|
Simply load the plugin with the plugin loader. When the system menu is loaded, you can open `http://<ip of your ip>:8080" on your browser an should see the stream. Whenever you switch the application (e.g. load a game), you need to refresh the site in your browser.
|
|
Example when the IP of your IP is 192.168.0.44.
|
|
```
|
|
http:/192.168.0.44:8080
|
|
```
|
|
If you don't know the IP of your Wii U, you can start for example [ftpii](https://github.com/dimok789/ftpiiu) which shows the IP when running.

|
## Wii U Plugin System
|
|
This is a plugin for the [Wii U Plugin System (WUPS)](https://github.com/Maschell/WiiUPluginSystem/). To be able to use this plugin you have to place the resulting `.mod` file into the following folder:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sd:/wiiu/plugins
|
|
```
|
|
When the file is placed on the SDCard you can load it with [plugin loader](https://github.com/Maschell/WiiUPluginSystem/).

|
## Building
|
|
|
|
For building you need:
|
|
- [wups](https://github.com/Maschell/WiiUPluginSystem)
|
|
- [dynamic_libs](https://github.com/Maschell/dynamic_libs/tree/lib) for access to the functions.
|
|
- [libutils](https://github.com/Maschell/libutils) for common functions.
|
|
|
|
Install them (in this order) according to their README's. Don't forget the dependencies of the libs itself.
|
|
|
|
Other external libraries are already located in the `libs` folder.
