Use this for live security feeds or video calls from the S05.

Why this works:

Background processes interfere with software decoding. Replace the stock launcher with ATV Launcher or Wolf Launcher to free up 200-300MB of RAM, giving Libvpx more headroom. vera s05 libvpx best

Note: adapt values for resolution, target bitrate, and CPU. Use this for live security feeds or video calls from the S05

Bitrate modes

Example encoder command (offline high quality, 1080p, 4 threads): Why this works: Background processes interfere with software

vpxenc --codec=vp9 --width=1920 --height=1080 --bit-depth=8 --threads=4 \
--tile-columns=2 --cpu-used=1 --deadline=0 --aq-mode=3 --aq-strength=1.0 \
--lag-in-frames=25 --g=240 --auto-alt-ref=1 --arnr-strength=5 --arnr-maxframes=7 \
--row-mt=1 --passes=2 --target-bitrate=4000 -o out.webm input.y4m

Example realtime/streaming command (low-latency):

vpxenc --codec=vp9 --width=1280 --height=720 --bit-depth=8 --threads=2 \
--tile-columns=1 --cpu-used=5 --deadline=1 --aq-mode=2 --lag-in-frames=0 \
--g=60 --auto-alt-ref=0 --row-mt=1 --bitrate=2000 -o out.webm input.y4m
