Hardware Acceleration for Shinobi CCTV with all FFMPEG based features working

Shinobi is a GUI for FFMPEG. Currently the FFMPEG processes use too much CPU power because our bitrate is 8MB(+) and the resolutions are 1080(+). The goal is to lower the CPU use and offload the video decoding (and possibly encoding) when consuming these streams. We have attempted to enable VDPAU and VA-API with little success. Where some cameras will use VA-API, others will not or when using VDPAU we cannot make JPEG images in the format required for the motion detector. QuickSync didn't even show up as an available method and crashed the FFMPEG process when trying to use it. Tasks : - Use VA-API, VDPAU, or QuickSync to Decode video (hardware acceleration) - Use the motion detector feature while hardware acceleration is on - Advise on changes needed to be made to Shinobi code or Dashboard (GUI) - Provide a sample file with working Hardware Acceleration settings in Shinobi or a tutorial to set it up Requirements : - Computer with VA-API, VDPAU, or QSV capability and Shinobi installed - Knowledge of FFMPEG Hardware Acceleration You don't need experience with Shinobi, just experience with Hardware acceleration and FFMPEG. A Shinobi Systems Developer will be available to assist with any changes needed to be made to make the required formula for the FFMPEG command.
