Plex Transcoder 2016-12

[comio]

Hi Foster,

this is not an issue... I'm just asking your opinion.

Plex has released the last PMS 1.4 with the plex-ffmpeg sources. I noticed that is almsot a ffmpeg 3.2 with code from plex and some patches cherrypicked from ffmepg dev mailing list (ie MediaFoundation support).

In your opinion, can we add a package plex-ffmpeg in order to build the transcoder and add a USE to pms ebuild in order to depend on it?

I tried to build using a little-modified ffmpeg ebuild with success.

BTW, calling "Plex Transcoder" (that is a ffmpeg executable renamed) I have the following build flags (plex guys are enabling only some econder/decoder... instead to enable all available):

Just a note. At this stage we need to manually install the intel media server studio and libmfx (see luzero blog) in order to enable quick sync codecs.

How do you intend to have PMS depend on a system executable? Do you plan to have the plex-ffmpeg package install the other version as '/usr/bin/plex-ffmpeg' and then have the plex-media-server package do a ln -s /usr/bin/plex-ffmpeg /opt/plexmediaserver/Plex\ Transcoder when it is installed?

Side note: I haven't looked at the 1.4.0 package yet.

The binary 1.4.0 package works fine and it uses vaapi to transcode.

Of course the pure QuickSync (aka Intel MediaSDK) is not supported. I tried to install the Intel MediaSDK Essential and I created a wrapper script to remap LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH in order to load Intel binaries first (all installed into /opt) and vainfo crashes :D funny

A this point I will concentrate to have a vaapi-enabled plex-ffmpeg release.
