Update: Like I mentioned above, in the weeks since I fleshed out this draft Armbian came out with an Ubuntu Noble version with improved MESA/VPU support, but I haven’t had time to test it yet. I’ll update this post when I do.
Which is what I’m asking. The article doesn’t contain information on media transcoding with Armbian, and I asked the question to learn whether there is more info on that. Otherwise, OrangePi’s image already does what I want.
Video encoding has a lot of patents attached to it, so the access to that IP block is not always open source due to plethora of reasons. It’s a very non-ideal situation for non-embedded use, hence the question.
