Sorry for the plug, but if anyone is interested, I made a local video player on Chromecast, which transcodes the videos on the fly. https://github.com/mustafaak

- unreal37 13y agoNo need to apologize. That's super useful too!
- mkagenius 13y agoTranscoding is tough for processors in case of high definition video, does your app really do it in realtime?

- smtddr 13y agoSince ffmpeg is running your computer. "realtime" = As fast as your comp can handle. I'm sure my 10+ year old Dell celeron would be horrible but a modern Intel i7 will probably be pretty good.
- CSDude 13y agoI tested with a P8700 processor, it would be able to transcode a 1080p video with a very few lags. With i7 3630QM processor, it had no lag.
- stronglikedan 13y agoExcellent, and thank you. I wouldn't have found this without your shameless plug.
- thefreeman 13y agoThanks! I have been working on a similar project of my own which focuses on remote files, and was having issues with streaming the files while transcoding was still in progress. This should help a lot!
- vigneshv_psg 13y agothat's neat. i haven't looked at the code, what's your target video codec for transcoding? is it VP8?
- CSDude 13y agoVP8 encoder in ffmpeg is slow, for now I use h264
- mmind 13y agoThanks for sharing. You should post it in the group for cast developers: https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/115742157569103585450 https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/11574215756910358545...
- foobarqux 13y agoCan this be publicly hosted if you already have a compatible video and remove the transcoding?
