[Spice-devel] [PATCH spice-gtk v6] Fix overlay for vaapisink

Frediano Ziglio fziglio at redhat.com
Tue Jan 15 12:32:47 UTC 2019


The vaapisink plugin to support overlay requires the application
to provide the proper context. If you don't do so the plugin will
cause a crash of the application.
To avoid possible thread errors from X11 create a new Display
connection to pass to vaapisink.

To test it probably you'll have to remove the gstreamer registry,
usually in ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.x86_64.bin.

Changes since v5:
- test GStreamer version to use or not vaapisink.

Changes since v4:
- factor out a create_vaapi_context.

Changes since v3:
- none, add a patch to fix another issue.

Changes since v2:
- remove hard dependency to libva-x11.

Changes since v1:
- updated to master;
- use a different X11 connection as discussed in a previous thread;
- remove some comments, now obsoleted;
- fixed direct X11 link, now code is in spice-widget (as it should be);
- better libva linking, using now build systems.
