A roadmap for VirtIO Video on ChromeOS: part 3
Wrapping up the VirtIO Video series with a look to the future for cros-libva and cros-codecs.
In any case, the design of virtio-media and whether it is to eventually supersede VirtIO Video is very much an open question, with industry players actively debating over the pros and cons of each approach. Additionally, Fluster is able to detect deadlocks that would otherwise cause the decode operation to timeout, potentially locking up the hardware until the next reboot, which is why it is important to invest in a plan to run it in an automated manner. We hope that our multimedia expertise helps propel either the VirtIO Video protocol itself, as it can be used by different industry members outside of a ChromeOS context, or a spinoff aimed at codecs specifically.
