View Full Version : GPU acceleration and maybe even motion interpolation?

Hi!
first off i'm very happy with mezzmo
it seems to be the first DLNA server that can cope with any file format quickly and easily and i'm aware that you're probably hard at work implementing new features, but i wanted to ask if either of these are even a remote possibility

first off: as much as i like mezzmo, running it from my notebook with real time transcoding won't work very well with any content above SD resolution due to the rather weak CPU
is there a chance mezzmo could receive GPU acceleration (also for mobile GPUs) in the future?

and the next thing i was wondering about is real time motion interpolation similar to this here http://www.svp-team.com/
it should be self explanatory so i won't go into detail
many televisions have built in motion interpolation i know, but most do not support it when the source is external
so is there a far off chance that something akin to this may be implemented in the far future?

thanks for your time

Thanks for your questions. Some answers:

Mezzmo uses ffmpeg.exe for its transcoding, so when FFmpeg has stable GPU acceleration, then we can incorporate that into Mezzmo.

Mezzmo can stream type of video, audio or image file to a UPnP/DLNA client device. So, when we find a device that supports streaming SVP-based files, then we can certainly include this support.

thanks for the quick reply

i'm not sure i understood that last part
are you saying that mezzmo can already stream files in conjunction with SVP i.e. transcode AND add SVP based motion interpolation at the same time?

i can of course always preencode the video with motion interpolation and then let mezzmo stream it to the TV but that solution isn't very elegant and rather time (and diskspace) consuming :)

Sorry for the confusion. No, I meant that Mezzmo can stream pre-prepared SVP-based files to devices.
