Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸slinging around 15GB of timelapse images and videos between computers is still a challenge even on a relatively modern home network…. I've come to the conclusion that unfortunately <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/footiMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#footiMac</a> simply won't be up to the task of creating month-long timelapses for all 3 cameras. Hardware acceleration simply doesn't appear to be supported with the old AMD RV470 based chip.I just sent the archive over to my more modern 2018 iMac running MacOS X and ffmpeg happily used software/CPU for the mjepg and videotoolbox acceleration for the h264 “mjpeg (native) -> h264 (h264_videotoolbox)” on the first try. It's encoding at 30fps, which is half-speed of the video itself, whereas <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/footiMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#footiMac</a> could barely manage 1fps. The IMac will be done in about 30minutes where <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/footiMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#footiMac</a> took 15 hours.So ya... I'll have footiMac send over the timelapses to the iMac for processing. <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/timelapse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#timelapse</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/ffmpeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ffmpeg</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/Mac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mac</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Debian</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/oldhardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#oldhardware</a>

Kilroy_Was_HereWell, I forgot this netbook is 32 bit. LibreELEC only works on 64 bit.

Kilroy_Was_HereTrying out LibreELEC on my very old netbook. Can't play some movies without the video lagging on my Raspberry Pi 3B+. Maybe the additional 200MHz on the processor and the whopping 400 MHz graphics processor will fix it.<a href="https://dobbs.town/tags/LibreELEC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LibreELEC</a> <a href="https://dobbs.town/tags/RaspberryPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RaspberryPi</a> <a href="https://dobbs.town/tags/Netbooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Netbooks</a> <a href="https://dobbs.town/tags/OldHardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OldHardware</a>
