It's not so obvious to me once Spice starts using a regular video codec. UDP (RTP really) is designed to be better at low-latency and streaming. You may not be able to control the keyframe insertions, and it's usually better to let the encoder decide when to put it. Imho, Spice should offer RTP channels in the future. multi-cast could be interesting for Spice too in some cases. > cheers, > Gerd > > > _______________________________________________ > Spice-devel mailing list > Spice-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel > _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list Spice-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
