AV1 encoding

[fanynek86]

Hellow gentleman :-)!

Would it be possible to add AV1 encoding to MeshCentral? After all, it is prettier than WEBP.

meshagent currently doesnt use any GPU encoding when it does the screen capture
basically it sends each pixel as an image over websockets
so this wont be something thats going to be simple to implement
and without a developer who knows how to encode/code etc it wont be anytime soon
#5103 - H264 asked here

Thank you for the explanation.
I'll try to find someone :-)

Hello @si458 ,
could you provide a raw estimate for this effort in man/days?
Which of those .js modules require an essential rework?
Thanks a lot

@martin-finda I have 0 clue, no idea I'm afraid, I have no idea how the screen capture works, let alone what c++ code is needed

@martin-finda My dear brother, don't give up. You can buy me socks for Christmas, but this will help everyone. It's like giving the gift of world peace. Try drawing from RustDesk:

It also uses AV1.

Hello @si458 ,
I cannot see a single .cpp file in this repo. The documentation mentions Single Programming Language which is (I suppose) JavaScript. Or is there an source code which is not public on this repo?

@martin-finda a few files i found are below

https://github.com/Ylianst/MeshAgent/blob/master/meshcore/KVM/Windows/kvm.c
https://github.com/Ylianst/MeshAgent/blob/master/meshcore/KVM/Windows/kvm.h
https://github.com/Ylianst/MeshAgent/blob/master/meshcore/KVM/Linux/linux_kvm.c
https://github.com/Ylianst/MeshAgent/blob/master/meshcore/KVM/Linux/linux_kvm.h

i never understood how to identify the differences between C C# C++ ,
but the files are in the meshagent repo

then u use duktape to bridge between the C(all of them) and the Javascript world
