NAME¶
spice-streaming-agent - An agent, running on a guest, sending video stream of X display to a remote client (over SPICE)
SYNOPSIS¶
spice-streaming-agent [ <options> ]
DESCRIPTION¶
spice-streaming-agent is an agent, running on a guest, sending video stream of X display to a remote client (over SPICE)
The video stream itself depends on plugins/codecs installed on the guest (and the client).
Currently only supports X display (Xorg/X11).
Requires a virtio-port device to communicate and a recent enough spice-server.
spice-streaming-agent should start automatically with your X session.
OPTIONS¶
- -p portname
- The virtio-serial port to use (default is /dev/virtio-ports/org.spice-space.stream.0)
- -l file
- log frames to file
- --log-binary
- log binary frames (following -l)
- --log-categories
- log categories, separated by ':' (currently: frames)
- --plugins-dir path

- -d

- -c variable=value
- A generic way to change plugins/codecs settings. This only affects plugins that support this variable and this value (and ignored otherwise).

EXAMPLES¶
- run spice-streaming-agent with a framerate of 20 frames per second
- spice-streaming-agent -c framerate=20
