smallest embedded hardware that will transcode 1080p in emby?

[syadnom 25]

I'm struggling to find a very small embedded device that can transcode with Emby.  Probably MPEG2>1080P h.264 from an HD HomeRun would be the target.

 

I was really really hoping the nvidia jetson nano would do it, but apparently no cuda support or ffmpeg support for hardware encoding :/

 

I see that nvidia shield is supported for server, but how many streams can it handle?  Will it transcode MPEG2 Live TV from HD HomeRun?

 

I found a plex post that says 2-3 streams but without much detail and if that includes dec/enc and which sources etc.

 

Anyone tested this specific use case?

Rpi4 or is that too big?

Can you hardware transcode on the Pi4?    I thought that it wasn't possible right now...

note, I just found this thread:
https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/75841-rpi4-does-it-works-perfectly-with-the-new-gpu/?hl=rpi4

 

How many transcodes can it handle?  2?  

 

I'm worried that the removal of MPEG2 decoding in the Pi4 will not suit my needs.

That's probably about right.
