I've recently started working with the Raspberry PiCamera module, and have an issue with image preview. Using start_preview() works fine of the Raspberry's physical video output. Now I want to use the Pi through a TightVNC client, so I connect to display 1 as Pi refuses connections to the main display.
When I run my python script remotely through VNC, the camera output is shown on the original Pi display (HDMI output to a separate monitor). Does anyone have an idea about how to get the PiCamera display on the remote computer? I've only started using it recently and don't know if I should try to connect to the Pi's main display or change my python script to output the video on the VNC secondary display.
On your raspberry pi install xRDP for a remote desktop connection
sudo apt-get install xrdp
Use remote desktop connection for windows and proceed.
