EGL based NvFBC is now possible

The Nvidia 555 driver, that just entered beta, has an interesting changelog line

Added support for using EGL instead of GLX as the OpenGL ICD for NvFBC.

Does this mean there's a chance this plugin could be resurrected?

Maybe. Not sure if it also needs an updated capture SDK, or if anything else needs to be done to support it. I haven't had an NVIDIA in years. So someone needs to check/investigate.

anyway we can help test/build this with egl support?

I'd be very interested in getting nvfbc capture back. How can I help?

I've looked into this. The NvFBC header is unchanged. I have a prototype using EGL over on my fork, it currently supports only X11 and requires the 555 driver. I haven't been able to test it myself because my hardware doesn't support NvFBC and the nvlax patch is also outdated for it.

If anyone with a workstation GPU is willing to test it out, I'd be more than happy to fix issues. Additionally, would be more than happy to take over maintainership from @fzwoch, since they say they haven't had an nvidia GPU for a few years now.

Keylase nvidia-patch added support for 555.58.02. Tried your EGL fork with a 3060 on Debian 12. The plugin loads but womp womp.

error: Could not get NvFBC OpenGL context error: Failed to create source 'NvFBC Source'!

Might have something to do with the fbc patch.

The header needs an update, but NVIDIA hasn't published one with the EGL interface
