Remote graphics over network

No I don't have such an article at hand.

As for testing the VNC backend:

Download the Qt sources matching your version
Build the VNC platform plugin
Install it
Pass -platform vncas parameter of your application

Isn't the VNC platform plugin an integral part of the distribution ?

I can find no documentation later than Qt 4.8, and that also is scarce.
The VNC code for Qt 5.10 is much more voluminous than that of 4.8 and is a total rewrite, but no documentation.

SGaist

It's back since 5.9 IIRC.

QPA Parameters:

port by default 5900
size=WidthxHeight logical size
mmsize=WidthxHeight physical size
depth (8, 16, 32)

All are optional.

@SGaist

Thanks for the info.
I marked this as solved, although I'm not really too confident about using this very new software.
If only bug reports were better supported (of 3 bug reports none ever got solved).

SGaist

Which reports ?

Harry123

@SGaist

4 bug reports in order of nuisance:

QTBUG-60576
QTBUG-54119 (wrongly marked as solved)
QTBUG-53119
QTBUG-51624

SGaist

They don't seem to be related to the VNC plugin itself.

No, but I'm not sure I will start with the new VNC software, being basically beta tester, without direct contact with the developer.
The bug report site does not inspire me with confidence.
I have launched a query on the Interest forum, and am still waiting for anyone to answer.
