Offset transcoding - Separate Transcoding Server
I would like to see a plug-in developed which allows for transcoding to be offset.
My thoughts are for a transcoding server (high powered pc), running cut-down/transcoding only version of Emby.
Then on my main Emby server a plug-in which offsets transcoding to the high powered pc (if available)
Originally I had thought of this as being a high availability server

But thinking about this more, my requirem
If Emby used or easily supported using Ripbot264 instead of ffmpeg you could use Ripbot264's distributed encoding feature. https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/386325-Ripbot264-Distributed-Encoding-Guide
You can do it currently if you are just wanting to use it to transcode recorded TV or batch convert something before it is requested. Using the "LiveTV" post recording processing option to specify a script file that calls Ripbot264 to do the cluster encoding you could leverage it that way.
