Pipewire video capture is more generic. Some compositors like weston support pipewire as a backend without portals. Gamescope also creates a pipewire output without need for portals, it would be *really* nice to support gamescope capture with this. Pipewire also gives access to video devices directly as well without needing portals, which allows ergonomically letting multiple apps accsess v4l2 devices for instance like firefox and say discord. So being able to support the file descriptor directly, or using target-object much like the pipewiresrc gstreamer would be greatly appreciated.
Many XDG portals are not limited to systemd either. However as long as we can provide a file descriptor at the very minimum a small python script can be used to get the file descriptor. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
