Now TMD v0.5 for Linux is available in the download page. Contrary to what was announced in the previous post, this release supports virtually all Linux distros as long as you have glibc version 2.17 or higher. There are two very positive aspects: 1) It is not necessary to specify a build for each Linux …
Currently I’m working to increase Linux support building with these distros: Centos 7, Centos 8, Rocky 9, Ubuntu 20 and Ubuntu 22 in addition to the already existing Ubuntu 24. After that, TMD version 0.5 for Linux will be available for the download.
TMD version 0.5 is available in the download page. This version introduces two important features: FFmpeg with video streams and audio channel. For now, FFmpeg makes use of mpeg-1 (enabled by default) encoder with a fallback to via-software vp9 and av1. Mpeg-1 proved to be fast enough to handle 60 fps on my environment with performance …
As announced in the main texturemind.com web site, TMD will be free for its first official release, that probably will be called TMD 2025.0. It will have all the features enabled, even the most advanced, like multi-monitors, hardware encoding, SSL/TLS, console sessions and user authentication with SASL / Kerberos. Hardware AV1 will be used in …
I had a random issue in TMD when multiple clients were connected to the same server, with consistent random but incrementing memory leak of the tmdserver process. Today I was able to isolate the issue and fix it. The system was free from leaks during stress tests with more clients connected and encoding at 60 …
Finally I finished the implementation of FFmpeg module. It works. I’m already able to stream with mpeg1video, vp9 and av1. For now, the ffmpeg module works only with software encoding. I benchmarked the available encoders in my environment, and mpeg1video (even if old) proved to be the best in terms of performance (60 fps), while …
TMD version 0.4 is available in the download page. This is one of the most powerful release ever. The software has been optimized to achieve higher performance on low-end and high-end machines. Now it’s possible to change settings from tmdserver command line and to activate lossless compression (> tmdserver –lossless). This version was capable of …
I’m working hard in these days to release version 0.4 beta with many improvements and news. This time, it will be possible to change settings from command line, so you will have the chance to tune the remote experience for your needs. You will be able to enable/disable quality updates, enable lossless encoding, limit the …
TextureMind Desktop version 0.3 is available in the download page. Now you have higher framerate with jpeg compression and lossless quality update with QOI/LZ4 compression. No more huge logs. The log level is info by default and it can be changed to debug from command line. For the first time, the build is dynamic with …
Outstanding news. I added a new codec which makes use of Quite Ok Image (QOI) format for lossless encoding. The encoded image is compressed also with LZ4 to save more space (but it can be optionally compressed with ZIP as well). The new codec is used mainly for quality updates but it is so fast …
