The other potential option is to extend the x11rdp server to handle the Video Acceleration API extension then extend libva to divert the video through the MS-RDPEV protocol, thereby removing the need for putting specific new support into the media players. The only thing I am not sure about is whether the VA API can handle being handed the full MPEG2/H.264 etc video stream. You might need to take the broken up video stream and reassemble it before it can be pushed through the MS-RDPEV extension. JAB. -- Jonathan A.
