jarkkoI'm almost done converting the demo shown in my screencast from bash and fmpeg to python and gstreamer [1]. There has been bunch of blockers, like for example getting Python bindings compile in my BuildRoot environment (stable version bump helped).
One final peace that I was missing was how to pass a file descriptor to GStreamer pipeline but here it is:
https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/coreelements/fdsrc.html
So... 1.5 weeks of scratching my head but this all work was absolutely required before making the breaking API change to the driver code (i.e. return file descriptor to an anoymous inode in the ioctl instead of writing to /dev/video0).
Now I need only a small tweak to the test program when I test that kernel change. FINALLY ready to go back to the fun i.e. kernel hacking ;-)

jarkkoIt has these perks:
- Packaged (unlike ffmpeg bindings).
- Can be injected during the post build.
- Has videotestsrc ;-)

jarkkoI have not yet had a job where I would need such list for accomplishing anything :-)
Company/organization-wide decision making might need to look at such statistics for making long-term choices perhaps. It's pretty useless information overall...

I.e. I can pre-render the frame to buffers and then loop those frames to "cast_fd" with a given FPS (25) so it should be fairly timing accurate.
Using rotating and shaded torus I have cyclic movement which the other side (opening /dev/video0) can then read and store a full cycle of the animation.
Client and server can be two threads in the same process, and as final step the client can compare that the read frames are close proximity enough to the pre-rendered frames.
That should create a full headless and "CI friendly" system test for v4l2-cast. Definitely still hold a bit before doing too heavy refactoring and make this happen!
I wonder can we already have Rust programs in kselftest's? My driver is in C but this could be potentially part of the kselftest (at some point).

mjg59@nondeterministic.computer"Today, most of the major streaming media platforms utilize the TPM to decrypt media streams, forcefully placing the decryption out of the user's control." (from https://www.defectivebydesign.org/dayagainstdrm) I… just… what? This isn't even slightly true. There's plenty of good reasons to object to Microsoft imposing hardware requirements on Windows 11 that aren't strictly required, but *nobody* is doing media decryption on a TPM because TPMs are nowhere near fast enough to do that
