Shaping up nicely this release
@BrooklynMan This seems pretty absurdly powerful. I’m going to have to think about eventually actually using hardware transcoding instead of just relying on a VPS with enough cores to go around…
ideally, you want to minimize the amount of transcoding you do at all. most clients nowadays should be able to first play/direct stream just about anything, so, at worst, you’re just remixing which doesn’t really take any resources.
Well, yeah, and I have a good number of clients who are good at setting their quality settings to original and the like, to the point that I haven’t had to worry about it.
This is mainly about my idea that I’d only like to have 4k HDR content, and it gets transcoded down appropriately for people’s clients/bandwidth (the number of users who are stuck behind shitty 10 mbps xfinity is astounding…)
