[Spice-devel] [PATCH spice-server v5 7/9] reds: drop sscanf() in favour of g_strsplit()

[Victor Toso]

From: Victor Toso <me at victortoso.com>

As there is a need to iterate over every encoder:codec pair and we do
a check for every encoder and every codec, g_strsplit() is less
complex and easier to follow.

This change makes much easier to extend the input which is currently a
list of tuples encoder:video-codec.
