Screen mirroring using GNU Emacs


Screen mirroring using GNU Emacs from Debian XFCE to LG UJ632T

 

Note: Don't forget to quit properly (or use wpa_cli p2p_cancel). Else your computer will continue to scan for peers in the background.

Config

(require 'tv)
(setq wfd-wpa-cli "/usr/sbin/wpa_cli")

 

Code

https://gitlab.com/atamariya/emacs/-/blob/dev/lisp/tv.el
https://gitlab.com/atamariya/hostap/-/blob/tools/wpaspy/wfd.py (RTSP server)
 

Setup

We need to be able to run wpa_cli and nmcli as a normal user. Hence we will add the user and the tools to netdev group.
 
- Edit /usr/lib/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant.service (as root)
ExecStart=/sbin/wpa_supplicant -u -s -O /run/wpa_supplicant -G netdev

 

- Restart wpa_supplicant (as root).

systemctl daemon-reload
service  wpa_supplicant restart 

 

- Modify user group, file permissions and path.

sudo adduser <username> netdev
chown -R :netdev /usr/sbin/wpa_cli /var/run/wpa_supplicant/*
export PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH 
 
- Start the RTSP server.
python3 wfd.py
 
- Find peer devices
wpa_cli p2p_find
wpa_cli p2p_peers
 
- Add a connection for peer and connect. 
p2p-dev-wlp2s0 is the P2P device interface. Use nmcli dev to find the
               right value. The value to use is the device name of
               type wifi-p2p.
7c:1c:4e:ee:ab:9e is the peer device. 
nmcli con add con-name eth2 type wifi-p2p ifname p2p-dev-wlp2s0 \
 ipv4.method auto peer 7c:1c:4e:ee:ab:9e \
 wifi-p2p.wfd-ies 00000600901C4400C8
 
nmcli dev connect p2p-dev-wlp2s0

 

-  This should start the streaming.

GNU Emacs as a Comic Book Reader

Image
  Comics are available in digital format as a collection of images in a compressed ZIP or RAR file (.cbz or .cbr file extension respectively). These can be enjoyed in GNU Emacs with full access to image viewing capabilities using keybindings.   # Make sure you have unrar installed for CBR files # apt install unrar   (require 'arc2-mode)   (setq archive-summarize-files-fn 'archive-summarize-files-as-thumb)     Note: The archive-mode is capable of displaying the list of files in an archive; though it depends on external tools for extraction. For JPG and PNG, Emacs can resize the image without external convertor (ie. imagemagick). However, some menu options for image transformations in image-mode might not be available. Use the following patch for image-mode.el . @@ -460,16 +460,16 @@ image-mode-map       :help "Show image as hex"]      "--"      ["Fit to Window Height" image-transform-fit-to-height -     :visible (eq image-type 'imagemagick) +

Data Visualization with GNU Emacs

Image
    GNU Emacs can be used for quick data visualization in combination with Gnuplot. When you have some data and you want to visualize what the correlation looks like, this command comes in handy. No need for any setup - no data file and no Gnuplot script. The command below uses some sensible defaults for trivial cases. If the first line contains string label, the same is used as a key label for the value and/or axes' names as appropriate. If there's a single column of data, it is used as Y value. If there's more than one column, first column is used as X value and other columns are plotted along Y-axis. Takes care of comma or whitespace separator. Note: The latest version of the code is available at the end of the post. Options available in latest version   - Install gnuplot executable and gnuplot Elisp package . - Evaluate the defun ( C-M-x ). - Select a data range using rectangle command copy-rectangle-as-kill (C-x r M-w). - Run M-x  gnuplot-rectangle. This opens the g

Tinylisp and Multi-threaded Emacs

Image
TAME-ing the beast!! Here's a fork of tinylisp and a glimpse of a possible multi-threaded future. Below is the content of the file a.el in the demo. It creates one read thread which waits for non-nil value of global-var and a set thread which sleeps for 5s before modifying global-var and notifying the waiting threads. Since these are running in separate threads, main loop is free for user input. (define list (lambda args args)) (define defun (macro (f v . x) (list 'define f (list 'lambda v (cons 'progn x))))) (setq make-condition-variable make-cond) (setq condition-wait cond-wait) (setq condition-notify cond-signal) (setq message p) (setq sleep-for sleep) (setq global-var nil) ;; Create a mutex and an associated condition variable (setq mutex (make-mutex "mutex")) (setq cond-var (make-condition-variable mutex "cond-var")) ;; Read and set functions used by read and set threads (defun set-global-var ()   (mutex-lock mutex)   (sleep 5)   (setq global-
