SBC with proper software support for hardware video transcoding
At the moment I run a local Jellyfin server on an older amd64 system which @NicoD would call a giant space heater
Anyway it would be nice if a proper SBC could replace this thing, last but not least to save a decent amount of space
The question is which board is capable and has the proper software support? Anyone here does have experience with video acceleration on SBCs using media servers like plex, emby, jellyfin or whatever they all may called and if so which board, which k
Good news! I got to compile a highly optimized ffmpeg binary from a current git, with XU4 tweaks, that is able to encode two simultaneous 1080p@25, as long as the source bitrate is not excessive.
You can download and give it a try from here. It is completely static, so you can install it on any distro. It will install the binary in "/opt/ffmpeg-xu4/bin/ffmpeg", and a symlink "/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg-xu4". Therefore, it can be installed along the system ffmpeg without conflicts.
