Hi everyone, despite Andrzej having left the community, we are not giving up on the encoder work. In 2025, we aim at working more seriously on the V4L2 spec, as just writing driver won't cut it. Each class of codecs needs a general workflow spec similar to what we have already for stateful encoder/decoder and stateless decoder. - https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/userspace-api/media/v4l/dev-decoder.html - https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/userspace-api/media/v4l/dev-encoder.html - https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/userspace-api/media/v4l/dev-stateless-decoder.html It is on top of this, that for each codec we have to add controls (mostly compound) specifics and details that suites stateless accelerators.
