From: Victor Toso <me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hi, The main idea here is to provide a way to chose codec type for video stream. At this moment, the main purpose is making streaming in different formats easy to test. Ideally in the future, client could send upfront to the server what client can hw decode. As discussed previously [0], gstreamer-vaapi already only register what it can actually use in the system, considering driver capabilites. [0] https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2016-October/032825.html Previously, spice was taking into consideration what encoder and video-codec to use based on the order it was defined. Patch 09 introduce (client-side) ranks. We might want to have server-side rank to let the Admin disable some encoders if necessary... I guess.
