Browser transcoding addon with server? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

I have a laptop with limited decoding capabilities with regards to royalty free formats, which YouTube tends to use, but I do prefer the quality that I get out of av1/vp9 encoded content on YouTube when using those on my home PC over what I get through h264ify.

What I do have, is a server which runs Jellyfin and can transcode content just fine. Is there any software I could host which could transcode videos I watch with a browser extension via my server?

Sorry if this is jumbled or unclear but it's something that I would really have a use for, and if feasible, would even write myself.

Whats your preferred codec? in c/[email protected]

I usually use what's available, and has the best file size for the quality. h265 is usually the best in this regard, but I look forward to more av1 encoded content. My Jellyfin server runs on my old school computer, whicj I could buy cheaply from my school, but since it has a sub-1080p screen, it works best as a server with built in UPS for me. It also has quicksync, so I've never had to think about which codecs my clients support.

Is there a desktop app with similar UX to Cloudstream? in c/[email protected]

I have not gotten cloudstream to work, so I don't know it's similar, but I've used popcorn time and my friends use it regularly and are happy with it.
