Take any URI ( remote or local to slaves ) via an HTTP service and feed it in to a docker container running ffmpeg
Proxy the output of ffmpeg back to client via HTTP
No streaming protocol support

web service for offline transcoding, supporting pre-configured transcoding on filesystem events ( i.e. file uploaded )
Take any URI ( remote or local to slaves, including on a distributed filesystem ) via the RTP/HTTP service and feed it in to a docker container running ffmpeg
expose advanced transcoding options for live and offline transcoding ( bit rate, resolution, etc )
data locality for transcoding, work with distributed fs APIs ( HDFS, Quobyte ) to run transcoding where the data is
