In every place in this patch series where you talk about 'server', you
should replace it with 'display server' (or possibly just 'X server',
not sure if Wayland is ever going to apply here?). I was confused for
quite some time thinking you mean the SPICE server.

const char[] here, std::string on the line below :) Just use
std::string...

These static variables... Not too sure about C, in C++ it is considered
bad practice. Not an objection here at the moment, since there are some
already present, but in the future the way to go is to create a class
(or more) to hold them and properly encapsulate them.

It would be good to log the failed attempts. As a side note, we should
look for a logging library for C++.

What does writing '1' to update_fd mean? (rhetorical question :)) You
do not even check the value in the place you read it from update_fd. I
understand this is sufficient and works atm., but this way you include
random communication details in deferent places of the code, it is not
clean.

This communication should be encapsulated, in C++ for example in a
class that would have a method like toggle_streaming(), which would
send the '1' and in the place where you read the command, you would use
the same class to do so.
