Support for other esp32 dev boards

[t0mg]

Hey @Jerzeek happy new year. I noticed that you forked the project to add support for other dev boards. It's a great idea (I was planning on adding CYD myself later), if you get to the bottom of it please let me know, I'd love to merge it back :)

HI @t0mg ,
yeah to be honest I asked Gemini to port it to the cheap yellow display, but it works! or well, partly 😅

If you have videos on an SD card it plays pretty well, better then the Atomic14 project. But if you try to play online the fps is a bit low, anywhere between 4 and 7 fps. It might be because it has no PSRAM or because the flash is only 4mb.
I also found that if I change the JPEG quality slider on the webpage it stops working and prints this on serial:
Final frame received. Total size: 43255 bytes. Decoding... malloc failed! Dropping frame. and then stops updating the screen
I did see this project that only updates changed pixels on a screen, maybe that could help? https://github.com/tuckershannon/ESP32-Desktop-Monitor

Very interesting thanks for all the details!

Bandwidth/signal quality could also be an explanation for the low frame rate over WiFi. That desktop monitor project is smart, definitely less bandwidth hungry than my naive implementation. Would be cool to port their protocol over and reimplement the transmitter in JavaScript...
