Would work, but I didn’t test that (it seems a bit iffy). These continue to not be found, as this package provides different libraries Even after installing libomxil-bellagio-dev If you try running this on a 64-bit OS you’ll get errors that libOMX_Core.soĪnd libOmxCore.so weren’t found. Some initial searching about what encoder to pick in FFmpeg for hardware acceleratedĮncoding on the Raspberry Pi pointed me to the h264_omx encoder. That I put together to monitor the progress of the encoding tasks. Hardware on a 64-bit OS and the little encoding manager/dashboard, FBED, In this post, I’ll cover how to get FFmpeg setup to use the Pi 4’s video encoding Play around with Python, FFmpeg, and the Pi’s hardware accelerated video encoder. Trimming them down would help save a bit of space, and gives me an excuse to The videos are onĪn external drive being monitored by Plex and shared on the network by Samba,Īnd some are quite large since they’re at a (likely unnecessarily) high bitrate. I got curious about using it to re-encode some videos I had. After setting up Pi-Hole, OpenVPN, Plex, and Samba, I recently picked up a Raspberry Pi 4 8GB model to use for some lightweight server tasks
