[Spice-devel] [PATCH v8 00/24] Add GStreamer support for video streaming

[Francois Gouget]

The previous submission did not get in. So it's time for a new one. 
Hopefully this is the year this patchset will go in!

This patch series adds support for using GStreamer to encode and decode 
the video streams, adding support for VP8 and h264 codecs. As before the 
patches can also be grabbed from the repositories below:

spice:          https://github.com/fgouget/spice
spice-gtk:      https://github.com/fgouget/spice-gtk
xf86-video-qxl: https://github.com/fgouget/xf86-video-qxl
spice-protocol: https://github.com/fgouget/spice-protocol

(there's also 'extras' branches with more experimental/future patches 
for the curious)


Changes in this round:
* Rebased on the current source.
* When the client has support for GStreamer video codecs it now 
  checks the presence of each supported codec before advertising support 
  for it.

Changes from v6:
* configure.ac uses the new m4 macros to check for GStreamer support 
  and the presence of the needed plugins.
* It separates adding checks for the client codec support from 
  specifying which codec to use in the server and from adding VP8 
  support.
