hello, I'm planning to build some video encoding and decoding plugin based on NVENC (see [1]). NVENC works directly with GPU memory, so I'm wondering if the plugins API allows me to work directly with Gem texture ? And if not, is it possible (I mean : is it no too huge work) to update plugins API to work with texture besides pix_block ?
I could make 2 externals to work directly with texture for video encoding and decoding. But NVENC is not the only API to do so, (I'm thinking about HAP on Mac OS, see [2]) so maybe it's time to update API ? Currently, no library used by Gem is using GPU for video coding/decoding but Quicktime on Mac OS X which is now deprecated. And I think it could be a nice feature.
