Dear Nicolas,
Sorry for late, we have tested this change by chrome tast test before:
tast run $IP video.PlatformEncoding.v4l2_h264*
here are the average fps results:
Before:
180p: 1913
180_meet: 1935
360p: 554
360_meet: 571
720p: 159
720_meet: 189
After:
180p: 2236
180_meet: 2337
360p: 820
360_meet: 830
720p: 324
720_meet: 390
Thanks
BRs
