I learned that video and image compression can be chosen server initiation from https://www.spice-space.org/spice-user-manual.html. How can I change the configuration for the compression ? I want to play 720p video smoothly in the guest(some loss or distortion does not matter). What is the best configuration for me? I got that I can change option of graphics in libvirt like: <graphics type='spice' port='-1' tlsPort='-1' autoport='yes'> <channel name='main' mode='secure'/> <channel name='record' mode='insecure'/> <image compression='auto_glz'/> <streaming mode='filter'/> <clipboard copypaste='no'/> <mouse mode='client'/> <filetransfer enable='no'/> <gl enable='yes' rendernode='/dev/dri/by-path/pci-0000:00:02.0-render'/> </graphics> Which option should I change ? Can I also customize more parameter about the vga(such as fps, bitrate ...) ? Regards, John
Hi John, What is the guest OS? According to your configuration above, I assume you are running the VM locally on your workstation. Also I see you are trying to use virgl (gl enable=yes) If this is the case, for Linux guests, you need not to worry about image/video compression. Just make sure you are using virtio-vga and that the given 'rendernode' is correct and accessible, and that you have new enough qemu-kvm/spice-server and remote-viewer or virt-manager.
