Running conversion processes on a headless linux machine

BUG / NEW FEATURE

Operating System and Type (32bit or 64bit):

Summary of the problem or suggestion:

Would it be possible ( with some custom code )? to run the ffmpeg (or handbrake) processes on a linux machine? But have those conversion jobs handled by an instance of MceBuddy running on windows?

I’ve got a quandro p2000 in my plex server running on Ubuntu, and given that it can transcode video lightning fast, I’d like to leverage that capability to convert my recordings.

Is this possible somehow? What would be required to make it happen?

Thanks Goose.

I would like to do the same thing. It might be possible to “fool” the system: write a program called ffmpeg.exe or handbrake.exe that passes the command line parameters to a LINUX box for processing, then waits for the return from the LINUX machine. This would either need shared folders or the LINUX box would need copy the files from the Windows machine for processing.
