Lazily transcode via HLS
- Support automatic quality switches
- Support transmuxing as a quality
- Allows multiples clients to share the same transcode stream
Hardware acceleration support (vaapi, qsv, cuda)
Extract media info from files (bitrate, chapters...) and stores it in database
Extract and serves subtitles or attachments (like fonts)
Create thumbnails sprites (& vtt metadata) for scrubbing (mouse hover on seek bar)

Usage

Gocoder is shipped as a docker image configurable via env variables (see .env.example). Using it outside Kyoo is supported. There is no swagger as of now, you can look at main.go for the list of routes.

Projects using gocoder:

Kyoo (obviously)
Meelo
Blee
Add your own?

How does this work?

I did a blog post explaining the core idea, you can find it at zoriya.dev/blogs/transcoder.

TODO:

Add a swagger
Add configurable JWT authorization (v5 of kyoo)
Add credits/recaps/intro/preview detection
Add multiples qualities for audio streams
Improve multi-video support
Add optional redis synchronization for replication (RunLock was made with this in mind)
fmp4 support
transcode downloads
