Ah, the saga of in the Freedesktop SDK—a tale as riveting as watching paint dry 🎨. Dropping it must have been like finally ditching that one old sweater nobody wears anymore 🧥. Spoiler alert: the world keeps spinning! 🌍🔄

Acabo de leer que en la próxima actualización del tiempo de ejecución #Freedesktop 23.08 van a quitar la extensión #openh264 (binarios distribuidos por #Cisco).

Al parecer hay un aviso de seguridad que no pueden hacer un "backport" por tema licencias ni llevar la nueva versión a este tiempo de ejecución por estabilidad de "multiple ABI breaks and SONAME bumps upstream."

Esto no afecta a la versión 24.08 que sí puede recibir la versión actual de Cisco.

People saying over is slow have no idea how far we’ve come. Here’s the latest xrdp and xorgxrdp-glamor in testing, doing encoding over Wi-Fi:

Just rebooted and I’m up and running with Fedora Silverblue 40.

(Just tried reinstalling mozilla-openh264 – so videos work in Firefox – but it failed with the same error. Not a big deal, I’m using @Vivaldi as my main browser these days anyway and I guess the Fedora folks will fix this in time.)

More importantly, I wonder if the screen reader has been fixed yet. (Yes, Fedora ships with a broken screen reader.)

Note that I just encountered the following issue:

github.com/fedora-silverblue/i

Which I worked around by removing mozilla-openh264 before running the rebase again, at which point it succeeded:

rpm-ostree remove mozilla-openh264

Does Openh264 just suck or am I doing something wrong?
First video is source, second is OBS encoded (x264), third is OME encoded with Open264, 12000Kbps.

@Linux_Is_Best yeah, I refuse #DRM and go out of my way to yeet the #OpenH264 #codec from #Firefox because the only way to stop #Enshittification is to not be part of it and openly fight against it!

Včera úspěšně otestován "junkyard stream/record PC". v30 nativně odmítá API <12, a moje GeForce GT720 podporuje NVENC API 11.4. Naštěstí vše zachránil addon, který se se starší API smířil a použil ji bez keců 👌
Mimo stream jsem zkusil i , ale ten vypadá násobně hůř při stejném datovém toku 🤷‍♂️
