Description Jonas Ådahl 2019-01-09 07:56:07 UTC

This is needed for cursor sprite side channelling in screen casting and remote desktop.

Comment 3 Jonas Ådahl 2019-01-10 07:25:50 UTC

PipeWire 0.2.5 adds mouse cursor buffer metadata support to streams, meaning the compositor (mutter/gnome-shell) can send cursor state without also sending screen content.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1659118 partially needs this to have the VNC server make use of it, and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1658971 backports the feature to mutter.

Comment 4 Wim Taymans 2019-01-10 10:18:43 UTC

The current version in 8.0 is 0.2.4, the rebase mostly fixes some compilation bugs, small leaks, a permission fix for flatpak and a crasher.

The cursor metadata does not actually add code, just definitions of structures. There is code added in the example
applications.

0.2.5 has been in Fedora 29/rawhide for a little while now.

I would rate this rebase as very low risk.

Comment 5 Tomas Popela 2019-01-10 13:29:53 UTC

Please don't forget to backport https://github.com/PipeWire/pipewire/pull/119 otherwise the Firefox and probably others couldn't be build.

Comment 8 Tomas Pelka 2019-01-18 10:20:01 UTC

Seems to work fine with remote-desktop. Lets wait for testing with remote-desktop over WebRTC and verify if no issues occur.
