Hello,
I have a quad core Xeon L5240, each core at 2.5GHz. My video stream of recorded or live TV stutters terribly using MX VideoPlayer when using Android HQ or Android Better. I see ffmpeg is using 25% of CPU during streaming. I read about ffmpeg being multi-thread capable. I tried adding the switch "-threads 3" but that did nothing.
How can I increase the transcoding performance? There must be a way for me to utilize additional cores, no?
If there is no possible solution along those lines, does anyone know if I can overclock this Xeon L5420 on a SuperMicro X7DA8 motherboard?
There is a lot of horsepower in this machine. It would be a shame if it couldn't transcode in realtime just because ffmpeg is limited to 1 core.
I welcome any advice. Thank you for your time.
Mike
