Re: PACKAGE: Serviio 1.5 for QNAP NAS (ARM & x86 Intel)
Transcoding is a pain for ARM chips, it's perfectly fine for remuxing (video file doesn't change, audio gets transcode). ARM uses fixed point audio encoder to make audio transcoding quicker.
But you have the latest multi core ARM chips that's similar to smartphone.
Maybe if you get ffmpeg compiled from an Android Linux multi core build, you may get better performance and could transcode video real-time.
