Render capabilities
The shared backend registry drives render preflight and this table. It describes library support, not a guarantee that a codec or host exists on every device. Choose supported settings before capture; unsupported requests fail with a capability diagnostic. Custom renderers provide their own profile.

desktop
Section titled “desktop”- Requires a Flutter capture host and a paired FFmpeg/ffprobe toolchain.
- In-process Flutter Snapshot is prepared automatically; external browser snapshots require SnapshotService.
Regression evidence: packages/fluvie/test/rendering/desktop_video_renderer_test.dart, packages/fluvie_media/test/frame_session_integration_test.dart, packages/fluvie/test/rendering/encoding/video_probe_service_test.dart, packages/fluvie/test/rendering/render_to_sandbox_test.dart.
browser
Section titled “browser”- Requires supported browser decoding and FFmpeg wasm.
- Threaded wasm requires cross-origin isolation. Encoded bytes remain in browser memory.
Regression evidence: packages/fluvie_web_encoder/test/web_video_renderer_test.dart, packages/fluvie/test/rendering/render_to_sandbox_test.dart.
mobile
Section titled “mobile”- Requires an Android/iOS Flutter host and available device codecs.
- Hardware decoding and encoding can vary by device.
Regression evidence: packages/fluvie_mobile_encoder/test/on_device_video_renderer_test.dart, packages/fluvie/test/rendering/render_to_sandbox_test.dart.
A “no” for an owned snapshot host means the adapter does not provide that host by default. A suitable custom host can supply additional capabilities explicitly.
