The patch already supports passing a file descriptor and a PipeWire node ID directly via the "fd" and "node" options. The portal is only used if these values are not provided by the user. The original motivation for adding these options was to allow communication with the portal to be handled outside of FFmpeg, but I imagine they could also be used on e.g. Weston to bypass the portal entirely. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
