This is the client component of the 1fps Screen Share application. The server part can be found at https://github.com/1fpsvideo/server.

1fps Client is a Go application that captures screenshots, encrypts them, and uploads them to the server at 1 frame per second (fps). It also includes real-time cursor position tracking.

• Screen capture at 1 fps
• End-to-end encryption of screenshots
• Real-time cursor position tracking
• WebSocket-based communication for cursor updates

• Go (Golang)

You can run the client application in one of the following ways:

1. Build and run:

   go build 1fps.go
   ./1fps
   

2. Run directly:

   go run github.com/1fpsvideo/[email protected]
   

   Replace v0.1.1 with the latest version from tags.

Note: Windows users should scroll down to the Windows section for specific compilation steps.

Linux users might need to install additional dependencies for the screen capture and cursor tracking functionality to work correctly. Specifically, you may need to install the libxtst-dev package:

For Ubuntu or Debian-based distributions:

sudo apt install libxtst-dev

For other distributions, the package name(s) might be slightly different. Please refer to your distribution's package management system.

For more detailed information about dependencies and installation instructions for different Linux distributions, you can check the RobotGo library documentation:

https://github.com/go-vgo/robotgo?tab=readme-ov-file#ubuntu

Compiling on Windows requires a few additional steps. Please follow these instructions:

1. Install Golang, for example from https://webinstall.dev/golang/
2. Install the GCC compiler pack from https://github.com/skeeto/w64devkit/releases
   • Download the exe file, which will automatically unpack (probably to your Downloads folder)
   • Run w64devkit.exe
3. In the w64devkit terminal, type:

   go env -w CGO_ENABLED=1
   

4. Run the main command from the 1fps.video website. It's better to copy the command directly from the website or use the latest version from the tags:

   go run github.com/1fpsvideo/[email protected]
   

Please note that these steps are necessary until we produce binaries for Windows. We understand that compiling on Windows has been challenging for various software projects. We're currently in alpha, so please check back later for easier installation options with pre-compiled binaries.

For local development, you need to create a .env file in the root directory of the project. The contents of the .env file should be:

ENV=development

This configuration sets the environment to development mode, which may enable certain debugging features or use local server addresses.
