Is this fixed now?

Yes, GetScreenBitmapScaled is implemented in the v3.0.2.1. We also updated the C# sample application, with a sample on how to use this API method.

It's not hold for now. Technically it's very easy to implement; probably 10 lines of the source code or so. But server-side scaling implementation in UltraVNC server is a complete joke. It only works with a single client. If more than one client connects to such server, the screen image becomes corrupt on all connected clients.
We might add this as an “experimental” feature in the 3.0.3.0 build. But really, the way this feature is implemented in UltraVNC Server makes it totally unusable for any practical purposes.

Yes please add the server side scaling feature.
I have only one connection to the server in 99% of all cases so it should be ok.
Is is possible to ask the server for the number of connected clients? It so I could revert to normal mode, when more than one client wants to connect. If the protocol allows that, please also add this to the viewer control.

I also think that the image corruption with multiple viewers is a bug and should be addressed in the ultravnc forums, so this bug can be fixed. Maybe you do this or provide me with enough technical information that I can do this.

Carsten

Most probably it will be added within next two weeks. As I said to add this feature to the ViewerX will take just about 10+ lines of code.

Nope, the RFB protocol used by VNC doesn't support such feature.

I also think that the image corruption with multiple viewers is a bug

Actually I think it's a "by design" flaw. I'm a bit familiar with the UltraVNC server internal and I think there is no simple way to fix this problem. So I expect this issue to stay as it's now for a while.
