[Spice-devel] [PATCH 0/0] Add support for h265/HEVC video codec

[Christophe de Dinechin]

As a follow up to the question I asked during the weekly meeting, what is the plan for selecting between codecs?

Easy case: client and agent have only one shared codec combination. We have to pick that one.

More complicated: say both sides support h264, vp9 and h265. Which one do we pick?

Right now, the only ranking I am aware of occurs in the agent, and based on existing code and earlier discussions with Frediano, it’s not clear if we want to use that ranking to sort codecs. It’s designed to sort plugins, not codecs. It would be easy to tweak it to rank h265 higher than h264, though.

Thoughts?
