 ============
 
 The SPICE Streaming Agent is a guest-side daemon which captures the
-guest X.Org output, encodes it to H.264 using hardware encoding (NVIDIA-only at
-the moment), and forwards the resulting stream to the host to be sent through
-SPICE.
+guest video output, encodes it to a video stream,and forwards the resulting
+stream to the host to be sent through SPICE. The capture and encoding are done
+through the use of plugins, so a variety of video format and capture/encoding
+methods (hardware/software) can be used. For now, spice-streaming-agent only
+provides software encoding to MJPEG.

-NVIDIA-specific Configuration
-=============================
-
-In order to use NVIDIA hardware-accelerated encoding, you will need to
-configure the virtual machine to use mdev/vfio. An NVIDIA card has to be listed
-in lspci output on the guest.

-The guest also needs to have the NVIDIA proprietary drivers installed and in
-use.
