Hi,

yes, that can work, and it is nicely orthogonal in implementation to
the real outputs.

It will have the same problem as the remoting plugin already worked
around with the concept of DRM virtual outputs. Libweston currently
supports only one backend at a time, but we would really need to able to
have multiple input and output backends in use at the same time to
improve the internal architecture and make remoting independent of the
actual backends.

An alternative approach would be to hook up to a real existing output
and copy frames from it when the remote video pipeline is ready to
consume them. That could also side-step the issue of the video encoder
wanting to keep a hold of too many old frames for reference, that would
otherwise cause gbm_surface to run out of buffers.

The screen-share plugin does the copying already through glReadPixels
from an existing output. That would be fine for a software video
encoder, but sub-optimal for a hardware video encoder.

FWIW, I wrote down some ramblings here:
