Sorry for the ambiguity in my previous reply. The answer is yes: the current version of the patch will try to use the XDG portal unless a file descriptor is provided. The "node" option was meant to be used together with the "fd" option, not as an alternative to it. So when I said that I thought these options could be used to bypass the portal, I should have specified I was thinking of the case where FFmpeg is used by a program as a library (which is what we're doing at my company); we'll need a different solution if we want this to work when using the command-line tool.

Does it work reliably if you don't try to use hardware acceleration? (You'll have to set the "enable_dmabuf" option to 0 for that.) _______________________________________________ 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".
