Help wanted: Electron ARM Build

[itshaadi]

I want to use system installed FFmpeg with Eelectron on my Raspberry Pi and seems like you've made it all working, although it's X64 and I need it to be ARM, so any thoughts? any changes that I have to be aware of before trying it out? any libraries that I have to build or install on my device other than FFmpeg?

and does it take full advantage of FFmpeg? because I need to render x264 1080p@60fps videos (I've built FFmpeg from source and it is capable of doing it but will Electron be able to do it as well?).

Hi, Did you try building it already? If you have some specific build failure I can help you with it. I tried playing some YouTube videos using the Min browser based on Electron, and it works. Do you have any specific test that I could run to be sure it plays x264?

I did eventually build it, through I figured out that it's not entirely up to FFmpeg. lack of proper rendering is caused by chromium because it doesn't have the proper patches to use the GPU so it dumps all the processing work on CPU.

I tried wexond before and it didn't work but it looks like min is using electron 3 now, so I'll give it a try
