Feature Request: Implement Looking Glass.

[geraveoyomama]

FreeRDP is good enough for office tasks and potentially light games. But to have even lower latency a "KVMFrameRelay" such as looking glass may be implemented to minimise latency and allow for direct quality. Looking Glass is a way to do this but there seem to limitation such as requiring an nvidia gpu, being same device only and sharing memory between host and guest.

Just taking a look at the docs here and it seems to me that Looking Glass ideally requires 2 GPUs. This seems like a requirement that is unrealistic to be met by most users.

I have used looking glass before. It is neat if you have a dedicated gpu and a internal one, you get very high quality and latency. Most modern gaming build should have a igpu so for this usecase it would be nice. However looking glass has no rails, so only full desktop streaming

So looking glass is probably more for a custom setup.

Indeed, most laptops (including mine) have 2 GPUs, generally nvidia as the dGPU and an Intel iGPU Would be cool to have some sort of support (even if not officially maintained) for looking glass and similar.

Yes, but imo WinApps is less effective on a laptop simply because of the battery and performance overhead of running a VM. If someone is willing to contribute a looking glass feature however, it would be best fit on the rewrite.
