Howto: Separate transcoding profiles by resolution and FPS

PeerTube
1

Attached to this post are the files needed to run multiple profiles per peertube instance. For example, you can have 480p h264 with libfdk_aac along with 1080p av1 with opus. I take no credit for this work.

Supported profiles (you can add more):

480p30
480p60
720p30
720p60
1080p30
1080p60
1440p30
1440p60

Requirements are to run the transcoding-profile-debug plugin and upload the custom ffmpeg-command-wrapper.ts to the SOURCE CODE. You then build the source code and run peertube based off that.

Unofficial installations | PeerTube documentation - this is essentially the same thing.

I have tested this with local transcoding. I doubt it will work with remote runners. Still, test away!

@Chocobozzz it would be nice to have this natively implemented in peertube.

For 5.2.0:

I forgot to mention that I have the entire pix_fmt line deleted in my peertube instance, this is so I can call the pix_fmt in the transcoding plugin. You can just remove that line from your encoding profiles and it will default to yuv420p with no problem.
