Multiple-monitor remote desktop about selkies-gstreamer

[ehfd]

Hi!
I just wrote documentation that will soon be merged to master. You can see right now in #51. I also just requested the enabling of Discussions.
I have had the same question as you a year ago before I teamed up with Selkies. I am absolutely sure that this project is for you.
Using multiple monitors is not tested now, but should be easily supported with a bit of work.
I think starting two or more selkies-gstreamer instances with DISPLAY set to different values and setting different ports will work.

@danisla I think we should merge #51 soon

The tutorial was merged to master. Just use different DISPLAY environment variables to two different shell processes, then start two different selkies-gstreamer processes with different listening ports. Tell me if it works.

Although Discussions are now available, I think this should still remain in the issues.

Documentation added. Closing. Please revive this issue when there is another related question.

I'm trying to run multiple instances of selkies-gstreamer, one with DISPLAY=:0 and another with DISPLAY=:1, but no matter what arguments I use for the --port and --addr options, the second instance of selkies-gstreamer always errors out with "[Errno 98] error while attempting to bind on address ('0.0.0.0', 8081): address already in use" What is the correct way to run multiple instances of selkies-gstreamer?

I believe that this is because of --metrics_port. Try setting this to different ports.

@joshzhaa Please tell me if this works.

Making sure the metrics_port doesn't conflict solved the problem. Thanks for the suggestion.

@joshzhaa using lsof is the natural next step
