[Spice-devel] spice-streaming-agent can't work correctly

[wangjiedong]

Yes, display 2 is showing the same content as display 1.
 
I use spice-streaming-agent with the goal that it can make the video more fluent and use less bandwidth, because in my condition classic SPICE can't do well with playing HD video and use high bandwidth. I think SPICE have resolution to deal with these especially in a WAN environment.


Developing streaming agent plugin is a good advice for me. I'll try it and thank you !

Is the display 2 showing the same content as display 1?

The second display is streaming your VM desktop using the MJPEG plugin.
This uses SW encoding in the guest and SW decoding on the client, so
it's adding significant CPU load and this use case has no actual
practical benefit (classic SPICE performs better).

I'm not sure what is your goal, but at this point, unless you want to
develop your own streaming agent plugin, you probably don't want to use
the streaming agent.

Cheers,
