th83 1 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Is there a way to make the transcoding process use the GPU instead of CPU for transcoding? I notice fairly high CPU usage when transcoding more than 1 video stream at a time, it seems that the GPU would be better suited for this task.

thefirstofthe300 291 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Currently, this isn't possible. However, if the transcoder that the server uses (FFMpeg) ever supports using the GPU to do transcoding, it will be implemented. I have heard rumors that this MIGHT happen so don't give up hope on it just yet. It may be a while before this feature is added though.

Crestj 67 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Where would we look to see any progress with this? Ffmpeg forum??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 The ffmpeg site would be the appropriate location to follow its feature development. Media Browser just uses it as a drop in, similar to many applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
