Hi,
For the purpose of disabling guest desktop effects, we already have a spice-gtk
option which we use for Windows guests, and can be used for Linux guests as
well. The Linux agent should support VD_AGENT_DISPLAY_CONFIG for this.
However, for local usage, we would also like to disable bitmap/audio
compression, and video compression on the server side (I believe there is
already an opened bug for decoupling lipsync from video compression). In
addition, when using spice for local usage, you also have the overhead of
redundant rendering on both server side (when required), and client side. We
also need to consider rendering everything on the server side.
Yes, and when we decide to render everything on the server side, then having
shared memory becomes really
useful... :)
IMHO, as a first stage, we can start by adding an explicit option to spice-gtk for
"local", or more specific options for disabling compression (e.g.,
--disable-compression=audio/video/bitmaps/all). We can then send the settings to the
server upon connection. As a second stage, I would continue with an automatic detection,
something like hans suggested.
Regards,
Hans
