Latest versions of QEMU are running out of PCIe mapping
through libvirt as the commandline device is mapping
ivshmem before other root devices.
Use JSON style configuration in the commandline block.
JSON arguments are loaded after all regular ones
and will guarantee to get loaded after all other libvirt mapped
PCIe devices.
For an unknwon reason when LG is on another desktop (hidden) and the
user switches to that desktop, the first attempt to grab the pointer
results in a GrabFrozen result. This adds some simple retry logic to
attempt again after a short (100ms) delay which seems to resolve the
issue.
After many months of hard work from our team, I am pleased to announce Beta 5 Release Candidate 1 which brings with it a huge number of improvements.

If a new client connects but there has not been a capture timeout the
new client count wont be zeroed on a valid capture. If there is a
timeout later the host will still think there is a new client and
re-send a frame when it should not. This fixes this by reading the value
on a valid frame which zeros the new subs count.
This allows the client to work when the OpenGL implementation fails if
EGL_RENDER_BUFFER is passed, printing a warning. This should fix issues
with Nvidia proprietary drivers on Wayland.
NVIDIA still do not implement a complete/working DMABUF implementation
yet advertise support. Best to tell the public to complain to NVIDIA
instead of assuming it's a LG bug or an issue with their system.
filters are now not run if `egl_filterSetup` returns false, as such we
do not need additional `enable` checks in `prepare` or `run` and we can
bypass the filters even earlier if they are not enabled reducing load.
