H264 When?

[noiuptw]

The only thing actually stopping me from using spacedesk is the mjpeg encoding for video. The CPU usage is incredibly high and is a dealbreaker. I’ve seen other posts about h264 being added soon on posts 1 or almost 2 years ago. Is there any plan or timeline? Is there a problem that is making it take longer or not properly function with spacedesk?

We changed priority to favor „Android USB cable support“ over „h264 encoding“.
Android USB cable support is already working.
Android USB cable support will become available publicly within the next few weeks.
h264 encoding might not even be continued after this (too many quirks, performance gain too small for regular users).
Instead we are currently evaluating WebRTC network communication protocol for larger performance gain.
WebRTC software can implicitly use h264 encoding anyway (by software as well as hardware-accelerated).

That’s great news! I didn’t realize I was such a fringe case, the larger performance gain is something I’m definitely looking forward to! I wish you and your team the best and I hope WebRTC works well!
