I have a smart TV which includes a browser. (An LG running WebOS, as it happens.) It can, of course, display video streams from a given URL. So I'm hoping someone has figured out a way to create a virtual display on a Debian computer which streams its contents out as a live video stream on some nice port, and which X or Wayland or whatever sees as an extra display in xrandr or Gnome Settings>Displays or whatever.
The dream: - on Debian box, run /usr/local/bin/virtual-display -size 1920x1080 -port 8888 & - on TV, browse to http://192.168.0.246:8888 - go to Gnome Settings>Displays and enable/configure the new display - enjoy extra screen without dog chewing HDMI cable Bonus points for getting pulseaudio to have a new sink that sends audio output to the outgoing stream.
