[Spice-devel] [PATCH v2 0/7] spice-gtk: Use GStreamer to decode video

[Francois Gouget]

This follows up on the initial GStreamer patch series but focuses on 
the spice-gtk client this time around.

The spice-gtk support is totally compatible with old servers so this 
patch series can be applied independently from server-side GStreamer 
video encoding support. In fact spice-gtk uses Spice's builtin MJPEG 
support by default, so essentially nothing will change. But it's 
possible to force spice-gtk to use GStreamer for MJPEG streams at build 
time; and if support for other codecs is added to the server, then this 
client will be able to decode them.


As usual, one can also find these patches on GitHub. See the gst branch 
of 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-common:   https://github.com/fgouget/spice-common
spice-protocol: https://github.com/fgouget/spice-protocol

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

For spice-html5 and QEMU one would have to refer to the patches posted 
previously on spice-devel.

Let me know if there are changes that are needed for inclusion.
