selectDriverForChannel()

fl::shared_ptr< IChannelDriver > fl::ChannelManager::selectDriverForChannel	(	const ChannelDataPtr &	data,
		const fl::string &	affinity )

Select best driver for channel data (used by Channel::showPixels)

Parameters

data	Channel data to route (chipset configuration)
affinity	Engine affinity name (empty = no affinity, dynamic selection)

Returns

Shared pointer to selected driver, or nullptr if none compatible

Note

Iterates drivers by priority (already sorted descending) and returns first that canHandle()

This is called lazily in Channel::showPixels() if no driver is bound
