Linux based devices can be used as powerful appliances.
One of them is a network projector.
All new versions of MS-Windows offer the option to "Connect to a Network Projector".
This device may be used to upgrade some old hard wired projectors and to use a regular TV set as a computer screen for presentations.
Any one knows about a this kind of 'server'. (I understand that the projector is a client and the client is the server).
My understand is that the Microsoft protocol is based on RDP, so xrdp /rdesktop may have most of the bits required.
There is a sample projector for Windows (CE) embedded on MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network) but is highly proprietary.
I appreciate any information about the subject,

Hello and welcome to start.

There would be a very small user base for this task but here you go.

Do you have a network projector?

Could use a virtual machine of some ms product.

Ask Epson to fix their Iprojection app for linux.

I'm not sure if there is an small base. The fact that the option 'connect to a network projector' is on every new windows based device, tell me that a few may be interested in using this function.
I have the MS bits for the WEC700 and WEC800 embedded, but they will turn the box into Windows and not Linux: will miss the flexibility.
The code is very tied to MS that is hard to make and abstraction and recover the protocol.
A promising device is ChromeCast, however is focused on google products. Will be awesome if you can use this, or a similar device, to connect your Windows laptop to a TV as a remote projector.
I think that keeping the dialog open, someone will show up either a commercial or GPL option for this windows compatible projector project...

Do you own a networked projector? Have you heard of anyone using linux with one?
