MSP Project Wiki

MSP is a LAN-first media server focused on simple deployment and robust browser playback.

What's New (v0.9.0)

• Hardware-Accelerated Transcoding: New FFmpeg hardware acceleration support for video transcoding, significantly improving speed and reducing CPU usage.
  • Auto-probes available hardware encoders at startup (no manual configuration required).
  • Supported encoders: h264_nvenc (NVIDIA), h264_qsv (Intel Quick Sync), h264_amf (AMD), h264_vaapi (VA-API), h264_videotoolbox (Apple).
  • Configurable via playback.video.encoding.hwAccel: "auto" (default), "none", or specific encoder.
  • Seamless fallback to software encoding when hardware unavailable.
• Playback Strategy: Refined to "Probe-Aware + Direct Play First + Single Retry Fallback".
• Preemptive Transcode: Applied only to high-risk containers (AVI, WMV).
• Bug Fixes: Player runtime crash fixes, WMV MIME mapping improvements.
