Config for slow CPU

Post by Acontece »

Hi

Need help configuring UMS for slow CPU, It's a dual core 1GHz

It work's fine streaming but when transcoding the video stutter and cpu is at 100%

I'm transcoding to PS4 (wired) with settings:
MPEGTS-MPEG2-AC3
keyint=25:vqmax=8:vqmin=3 /* Low quality (slow CPU) */
128Kbps AC-3 audio bitrate

Thanks

On my ATOM server i used:
keyint=7:vqscale=2:vqmin=3

Lowering the keyint seemed to be less CPU intensive but requires more bandwidth.
If your network/bandwidth allows it, you could try finetune and lower keyint even more

I was still not able to transcode 1080, only 720p. (because i was limited by a 100mb connection on the render)

Didn't work :(

I'm trying some other parameters and its doing better but i'm having problems streaming to PS4 (only dvd player works), probably because of the codec or something

will post the parameters when I find one that works
