Hello,

So, you are using Intel vGPU and running a Windows 7 guest.

Theoretically, spice-streaming-agent can do what you want, run
on the guest to capture the video and send it via SPICE to the client.

But, currently spice-streaming-agent is written for Linux guests.
So first you'd need to make it work on Windows (for example
the virtio-serial port name is different on Windows guests, cursor
handling is different (can be disabled at first)).

Also you need a spice-streaming-agent-plugin.

The mjpeg plugin is one example (it too is written for Linux).

Look at Snir's experimental gst-plugin [1] as another example.
Possibly there exists a gstreamer src to capture windows screen and
x264 would work on Windows too.

You may want to use hardware encoding if possible.

If Intel provides a dma-buf of the host, it may be even better to
do it from the spice-server somehow, similar to what's done with virgl
(requires code-modifications).

When you have these written, you'd need

We'll be happy to know if you make progress or if you
need more help (and of course if you send patches :-)

Uri.
