enable audio/video streaming; overhaul build #83
Conversation

@lunixbochs I'm personally very interested in your spice-server and qemu build setup.. Also, great work, this is a really tricky brew project (IMO) - I've tapped and have been using your branch for a few weeks now, it's great |
|
This is my qemu build script for Ubuntu 16.04 (script should mostly execute on a bare Ubuntu 16 box - you can use lxd to make one if you need): https://bochs.info/p/nhxmhb I've noticed some performance regressions (I think when spice doesn't have a guest driver), so I need to tweak something. Maybe libjpeg-turbo. It's encouraging if you don't have any perf issues as it means that's something I can fix in my qemu build. |

For now I would recommend using lunixbochs' fork of this formula.. |

@jeffreywildman Your package is unusable without this PR, which has idled for almost 5 months. Please consider merging this sometime soon. |
This patchset updates to spice-gtk 0.34 as well as the latest versions of spice-protocol, virt-manager, and virt-viewer, updates all virt-manager python packages, enables audio/video streaming, patches virt-manager to default to
--no-forkenabled, and fixes all homebrew/install problems I encountered. It will install and run out of the box on a fresh instance of macOS 10.12.6 Sierra just withbrew install virt-manager; ./virt-managerand no python path changes required.It will fix most or all of the following build/crash-related bugs, barring any local user python/compiler issues: #82, #81, #80, #79, #77, #76, #74, #72, #71, #68, #62, #58, #57, #56, #52, #49, #48, #45, #44, #30
It definitely fixes #78 (silently quits at launch) and fixes #5 (support for audio).
Furthermore, is there any reason this formula set hasn't been pushed to upstream Homebrew? It should qualify, and
libvirtis already there. The main changes I'd seek are patchinglibvirtsoqemu+ssh://host/systemwill try both the linux and osx socket paths, makingaskpasswork, and making sure we use libjpeg-turbo.I'm also willing to share my spice-server and qemu build/config instructions for anyone interested in having working video streaming.
