Mechanisms for Screen Capture and Video Encoding on Genio 510 EVK (MT8370) with Wayland

General Discussion

Hi MediaTek Team,

I’m working with the Genio 510 EVK (MT8370) running IoT Yocto and Wayland, and I’d like to understand the available mechanisms for:

  1. Screen Capture:

    • What are the supported methods to capture the screen in a Wayland environment?

    • Are tools like PipeWire, Wayland screencopy protocol, or Weston plugins supported on this platform?

    • Is it possible to capture still images (screenshots) or video frames directly from the display?

  2. Video Encoding:

    • What mechanisms are available for hardware-accelerated video encoding (e.g., H.264/H.265)?

    • Can we use GStreamer with plugins like v4l2h264enc or v4l2convert?

    • Are there overlays or device tree configurations required to enable encoding?

Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Gurukiran Mb
