rVNCd v1.38 is released
Not too shy to talk

I just released the latest version of rVNCd v1.38 (an Amiga VNC Server) on OS4Depot.


- If you want to read about the changes, you can see them here:

No endianness issues?

Yes the server can convert to any true color format the client ask for, as long it pixel byte size is either 1, 2 or 4 bytes.

Color lookup (pens) are not supported, and I have never tested it.

I do know of one client, where the server told the client it was running in 32bit, client said fine, but it ignore the endian format and as the server was sending Big Endian format and the client expected little.. that resulted in colors looking wrong.

As long as the client tell the server what format it want, it should all be fine.. but there are many diffrent clients out there.

Is a port to 68k possible?

Hi Spot,

Well, I don't think the VNC/Net code would be a problem.

I guess the GUI would need to be dropped or rewritten for MUI?.

The graphics ripper might be a problem, I'm not sure.

The biggest issue is probably the time you'd need to devote to it.

So, it's possible, yes, but I don't think I can dedicate that much time to it.

Hi, glad to hear it's working for you!

The speed should be about the same, though tile encoding could definitely use some improvement. Right now, it only supports Raw and Raw+zlib, and the latter (Raw+zlib) is mostly obsolete, as most clients I've tested no longer support it.

But I guess that’s on the to-do list.

P.S. Thanks for testing it!

Could you perhaps briefly explain how you set it up? I'm still looking for a remote solution so that I don't have to switch back and forth between 2 systems every time.

Is rVNCd a VNC server? So the other side needs a VNC viewer is that right?
I would use this under MacOs but have not been successful so far.

Yes, rVNCd is a VNC server for AmigaOS4. You start it up on the Amiga, and then you need a VNC client (or viewer) running on another computer to connect to it.

On Windows, you can use viewers like RealVNC, TightVNC, MobaXTerm, or any other VNC client. For MacOS, Linux, or any other OS with a VNC viewer, it should work as well.

By default, the viewer connects to the Amiga on port 5900, although you can change this port if needed.

With RealVNC I have already tested it under MacOs with Qemu/Pegasos2 AmigaOs4.1 rVNCd and always get the error message.

The specified host is unknown.

GUI tab Server I have only assigned a name and password which I have tried to find or connect with VNCViewer to the rVNCd Server under AmigaOs4.1.

It is quite possible that I have to open port 5900 under Qemu. Unfortunately I don't have real hardware to test it at the moment. But I will try again as soon as my hardware arrives.

Only changed in rVNCd:
-Server
Port: 5902
Name: SAM460ex_VNC

rest of options as they are. Click on Online button and on PC using TightVNC viewer (https://www.tightvnc.com/download.php), just point to my SAM460ex IP and port 5902 (ex.: 123.123.123.123:5902)

Thanks, now I understand how I have to configure it. It works well, but could be faster.

Here I have only been able to test under Qemu/Pegasos2.

@rwo

I would prefer to be able to access and control MacOs from AmigaOs4.1. That means AmigaOs4.1 is the viewer and MacOs is the server. Why? Because we can't use every site with Odyssey and if we need something that we can't do with AmigaOs4.1 we would have the possibility to do it on another operating system and could continue to work under AmigaOs4.1.

On Os4Depot there is TwinVNC it works well, but is very old from (2012) Is it still being worked on here?

I'm not sure if TwinVNC is OpenSource, but if it is, it would be fantastic if someone could compile a current version of it.

As already told : what you are asking for is already possible (I even posted a picture of my OS4 viewing and using my Mac OS server).

Yes you are right, my mistake was that I did not specify a complete IP address with port and that always led to errors. TwinVNC is good, but if we also had file transfer it would be perfect, especially as it is very old.

As you said MacOs already comes with VNC support and that is really excellent. I didn't understand this and always thought a VNC server had to be installed under MacOs.

For transfer : on your Mac, set Samba sharings (file sharing) and use https://os4depot.net/?function=showfil ... =network/samba/smb2fs.lha

With this, my MacOS server shares the same directory amongst all my systems (usefull to transfer file from my X1000, Sam460 or FPGA Replay).

Tested this with TightVNC Viewer... works!

However, it only supports the workbench screen... When I open Dopus5 on a another screen, the viewer doesn't update... you still see the WB screen.

Works pretty well running on my X1000.
Connected using bvnc on my Android Lavono Tab 12P, 12.5in tablet.
If I reduce the screen resolution to 1440x900 or 1600x900 and use a 16bit screen the speed is usable. Not fast but usable. Also, as mentioned previously, it only works with the workbench screen. I am writing this post using bvnc running Odyssey.

Note, I've tried running pretty much every android vnc client and bvnc seems to work the best.

Yes, you are correct. Currently, it locks the Workbench screen when you start the server.

One of the things to implement is handling different screen sizes so we can cycle the screen. This is still on the to-do list.

As a first step, how hard would it be to allow switching to screens that are the same as the Workbench screen. I use multiple screens but most of them are clones of the Workbench screen, so just this support as a first step would be a great improvement.

Thanks for the effort so far. I'll be sending a donation.
