MPEG2 encoding

Please consider an option of adding MPEG2 encoding as the h264 hardware encoder is not up to the task on this platform.

MPEG2 is that not antiqued now? Only OTA stations use that encoding. All TVE i have seen uses h264.

h265 is far superior, but I think it requires newer hardware.
And i would think h264 is more efficient than mpeg2, but i do not know the raw details of the codecs.

I have had no issue with transcoding performance with my older dual core Intel Nuc, even with multiple streams. Emby transcode performance also is great.

The RPi4 is what I use as a Channels DVR server, and i know it only supports 1 transcode stream due to its low power hardware, as most SBC's are.
I very very rarely remote stream, so it is not an issue for me.
