Subsonic on ODroid-U2

[zapt0]

ODroid-U2 is a quad-core 1.7ghz ARM beast with 2GB of ram.

I have successfully gotten it to run Subsonic.

The setup
- Headless Debian Wheezy
http://odroid.us/mediawiki/index.php?ti ... structions

- Install openjdk

Code: Select all

apt-get install openjdk-6-jre-headless

- Download Debian package and follow instructions
http://www.subsonic.org/pages/installation.jsp#debian

- Use this fix to enable transcoding:

Code: Select all

apt-get install ffmpeg
sudo rm /var/subsonic/transcode/ffmpeg
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ffmpeg /var/subsonic/transcode/ffmpeg


That's it! The UI is very fast and Subsonic saturates all four cores well. Transcoding is instant for audio.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Been experimenting with video transcoding.

The results aren't great. ffmpeg seems to utilize only one core, and that is not fast enough to transcode mkv files (720p and up).

Even with:

Code: Select all

-threads 4 -preset ultrafast

...passed to ffmpeg it only uses one core.

480p mkv is barely usable (transcodes at 22-25 fps).
anything above transcodes at too low framerates. Bluray with DTS audio transcodes at a mere 6-7 fps.
