Guys guys guys!
This thread may be dead, but let me have some comments.
For me (someone who doesn’t really speak makefile and coreelec, and who just dropped in here seeking answers) #5 and #6 are better confusing than being an actual help. #5 suggests “libx264 disabled, x265 flag not present” and #6 says none of them is achievable for ARM… which conclusion may be true and also false.
So my point is that the replies don’t clearly answer the original question - if x264 and x265 are present, however a short and clear answer would have taken similar effort. Ah, and neither attempts answering “How do I go about fixing this.” either.
So, my best bets to resolve my problem (re-encoding Easter recordings) are these:
- keep doing re-encoding on my ubuntu (which is of course a waste of my coreelec box)
- try ffmpeg for entware (no x264/x265 support either)
- experiment with docker + ubuntu + ffmpeg (has a learning curve for docker)
- experiment with tailoring all the above configs to natively support x265 on ARM (most probably involves coreelec-builder, so pretty much an endless project)
