Does that remote server support GPU transcoding?
I guess that someone can run a big machine in order to transcode videos from several instances right?
@jonathan I (hi I'm Pouhiou, and I'm not a developer) can't tell about using GPU power: the technical documentation in linked in the news https://docs.joinpeertube.org/admin/remote-runners
But yes, the feature has been thought out so one big machine can transcode videos from several instances.
That's what we mean by "encouraging communities to work together" in the news.
I hope you enjoy it!
@jonathan @peertube For now remote runners can't use GPU, but it's something we can easily add in the future. The runner API is public (https://docs.joinpeertube.org/api-rest-reference.html#tag/Runners) so you can also create your own runner program, or just fork the existing one et adjust ffmpeg parameters
