Hi guys, 

I am using `wlfreerdp` to access remote Win 11 but the client I have installed does not support hwacc and is laggy on 4K monitor. Network is 1G LAN.

I have already built Moonlight with ffmpeg/rkmpp hwacc and it works amazing.

 

Can anyone advice if I can do the same, building the FreeRDP client with hwacc?

This build has disabled ffmpeg, I don't know it is possible to build with it for wayland client. I recommend x11 client because it is the most usable client with the most features. FreeRDP developers is developing a new sdl client for all platforms: linux, mac, wayland, x11, but that is still at an early stage.

 

If you run xfreerdp, make sure to use gfx:AVC444 so that server sends h264 stream to you, then freerdp will use ffmpeg to decode it. You can check /proc/mpp_service/ to see if mpp hardware decoder is used. But don't expect the cpu will be extremely low, freerdp is decoding two avc420 streams and then combine them into one yuv444 frame, and then use cpu to convert yuv444 to rgb, then render it to x11, hardware decoder can only off-load few of the cpu load.
