| This process has been tested and works correctly with VLC 1.1.10. It may break with other versions or nightlys so be warned. Since VLC is registry independent, you can maintain a VLC 1.1.10 version for desktop streaming, while installing updated versions for normal purposes. This Wiki entry does not address the installation of VLC. | This process has been tested and works correctly with VLC 1.1.10. It may break with other versions or nightlys so be warned.

| For the video input filter, I used screen-capture-recorder (SCR)because its free, it works, is configurable and is under active maintenance (download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/screencapturer/files/). Read the README for instructions on how it works and how to use the "Screen Capturer Recorder\configuration_setup_utilities" to set it up for your system. (Other users have indicated the need to install "Microsoft Visual C++" first but there is no mention of it as a pre-req. There is however a provided utility to run and re-register SCR if you do so. They also indicated that in order to configure "screen-capture-recorder" you need the Java JRE installed. See http://forum.serviio.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4660&start=10 I have asked the author to verify this.) | For the video input filter, I used screen-capture-recorder (SCR)because its free, it works, is configurable and is under active maintenance (download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/screencapturer/files/).

| By default, it is supposed to capture the whole screen. For some reason however on initial install I got a lot of static. If this happens to you, run the "configuration_setup_utility\edit_config.bat" and set the height and width to your screen's maximum dimensions, or edit the registry keys as I did. You must however use the exact maximum dimensions recognized by your screen driver, In my case 1366 x 768 regardless of the resolution my screen was set to display which is 1280x720. (Right click your Desktop and click "Screen resolution" to see your current and maximum setable resolutions). Other users have reported the need to set the dimensions that their screen is set to display. | By default, it is supposed to capture the whole screen.
