UnicornTranscoder
- outsource transcoding to GPU in another machine
-
The Dim Media Manager is still active - Help us by filling out our survey!
Just having support for a remote transcoder, along the lines of unicorn transcoder or rffmpeg would be a good first step to let us start homebrewing a solution.

Two servers, same data
There's this project - https://github.com/UnicornTranscoder/UnicornTranscoder That lets you use a remote transcoder, but idk if the project is maintained anymore.
-
Secondary Plex Server
There are some projects to distribute transcoding jobs like the Unicorn Transcoder (last activity in 2021), Remote Transcoder (last activity in 2017) or the Kubernetes project (last activity in 2020)

Tonemapping Dolby Vision - Is it possible to achieve by replacing the ffmpeg binary?
Interesting, I wasn't aware they tweaked it so much. Projects like Unicorn Transcoder made it seem like you could just drop-in replace it with a different binary.
- Plex Raspberry Pi 4B and Windows PC with RTX 3080?
-
Is it possible to run the "Optimize" functionality standalone? I want to run it on my powerful PC instead of my weak NAS CPU
There was/is a Project for remote transcoding, the Unicorn Trancoder which might help but the last commit in that project was made in Oct. 2021.
- Who is currently running two or more plex servers?
- Different encoders for different sessions
-
Can I let my Plex Server convert files on another machine?
On the other hand, there is a Project called Unicorn Transcoder which is to offload the transcoding job on a different machine. If that works with plex optimization or just the "on-the-fly" transcoder, I don't know.

Another post for Stremio on LG Web OS
I tried using the Fire TV but it has huge problems with some 4K HDR video formats that goes black screen. It is an issue reported by multiple users for Plex but it's the same for all applications on FireTV. This is the issue on github for Exoplayer: https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/11096

ExoPlayer vs MediaPlayer for playing audio only. Which should I use?
Media3 is the new home for APIs that enable you to create rich audio and video experiences. If you’ve used libraries like ExoPlayer, MediaCompat, or Media2, you’ll find Media3 to be familiar. However, instead of using these separate libraries, Media3 provides a unified API for playback use-cases and also expands to cover new use-cases like video editing and transcoding. The APIs are simple to use yet powerful, customizable to meet your needs, and reliable and optimized so you can build for the diverse Android device ecosystem. (https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2023/03/media3-is-ready-to-play.html)

ExoPlayer segment download
Haven't done video work in years, but checkout the DefaultTrackSelector and start following around in the source code. Android Studio should allow you to do this all in the IDE. It's really the only way to learn/understand this stuff.
- Hi everyone, I am working on ExoPlayer. Trying to implement CMCD on ExoPlayer. Has anyone had any experience related to CMCD?
- Dolby Vision on FireStick TV = just a black screen?

How to stream other games to friends while in VR chat?
Also in regards to having to tell PC rtspt:// and Quest rtsp:// and waiting for ExoPlayer to fail over to TCP (8 seconds delay) https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/11069

Audio - Video Out Of Sync
I wonder if it's an ExoPlayer bug?
-
ExoPlayer 2.18.2 is out and with some Dolby Vision fallback improvements
See the full changelog of ExoPlayer 2.18.2. Some notable changes are:
-
F1TV app micro stutter
This started happening on Android when they enabled DRM on the streams. Assuming you use a device with Android 12 or later, you can just use Race Control TV to fix the issue. With Android 11 or earlier, Race Control TV also stutters due to this issue, which can be fixed by a custom build of the the app and force-enabling the fix mentioned in the issue.
-
[Dev] Symfonium 2.0 is out (Music player and cast)
If one day https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3438 is done then yes. Until then no I can't.
