[Spice-devel] [PATCH spice 7/7] server: Add VP8 support, a video codec preference list and compatibility checks with the Spice client. (take 2)

Francois Gouget fgouget at codeweavers.com
Wed May 27 06:13:34 PDT 2015


The video encoder preferences can be expressed by building a semi-colon separated list of encoder:codec pairs. For instance 'gstreamer:vp8;spice:mjpeg' to pick first the GStreamer VP8 video encoder first and used the original MJPEG video encoder one as a fallback.
The server has a default preference list which can also be selected by specifying 'auto' as the preferences list.
The client compatibility check relies on the following new capabilities:
 * SPICE_DISPLAY_CAP_MULTI_CODEC which denotes a recent client that supports multiple codecs. This capability is needed to not have to hardcode that MJPEG is supported. This makes it possible to write clients that don't support MJPEG.
 * SPICE_DISPLAY_CAP_CODEC_XXX, where XXX is a supported codec, for now MJPEG and VP8.
---

Changes since take 1:
- Only set the parameters supported by the current encoder.
- reconfigure_pipeline() handling has been fixed in the previous patch.
- The video codecs list now has a more sensible default and it's 
  possible to explicitly request this default by specifying 'auto' in 
  the configuration files.

The buffer timestamping is unchanged because I don't see a better 
solution at this time. 

Note that the xf86-video-qxl, spice-gtk and spice-html5 patches work 
just fine with this new series so I'm not reposting them to limit 
redundant emails. If this series can go in then I can resubmit them. For 
now, anyone who needs them for testing is invited to grab them there:

* [PATCH qxl 7/11] Add SpiceVideoCodecs and $XSPICE_VIDEO_CODECS for specifying video codec preferences.
  http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2015-May/019770.html

* [PATCH qemu 08/11] Add the ability to specify Spice video codecs.
  http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2015-May/019771.html

* [PATCH spice-gtk 9/11] Add the ability to use gstreamer for vp8 decoding.
  http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2015-May/019772.html

* [PATCH spice-html5 10/11] Revise the webm files to more correctly identify audio tracks.
  http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2015-May/019773.html

* [PATCH spice-html5 11/12] Add support for the vp8 codec type.
  (this is really patch 11/11)
