----------------------------------------
Summary: Support for non-legally encumbered video codec format in
guacenc
Key: GUACAMOLE-1729
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-1729
Project: Guacamole
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: guacenc
Reporter: Robert Scheck
As of writing, {{guacenc}} unfortunately only supports the legally encumbered
("non-free") video codec format "mpeg4", which is, due to its nature, not part
of Linux distributions such as Fedora as well as CentOS Stream including its
downstreams like Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Rocky Linux.
The idea is to introduce a {{-c <code>}} option to {{guacenc}} to be able to
switch between at least two video codec formats, "mpeg4" and "libvpx". And to
maintain full backward-compatibility for existing use-cases, {{guacenc}} falls
indeed back to "mpeg", if {{-c <codec>}} is not passed.
My main point is the keep this improvement _small_ to get it soon happen.
Extensions can be performed in the future, of course.
