Wondering if someone could take arm7 version and compile with the option for supporting Samsung exnyos 8 core big.LITTLE endian version of processor. I want to see what a media server will run like on one of these so can adopt over to low power option with decent horsepower to run things. I've reached out to plex and embry and got no love there so now I'm asking the serviio team to give it a shot. Basically would put you on a platform that is less than 100 us dollars and very decent specs.

You only need java and ffmpeg for that build.

I'm wanting to know if the default armv7 compile supports the octa core versions of processors. I know that you have one built and it only needs java and ffmpeg but will it use all 8 cores or just the 4 cores of the matching v7? I guess I can just load this and try it out.

Serviio is written in Java, so only complied into bytecode. It's up to the Java runtime to run it across your cores. FFmpeg I think can be built for Arm.
