I see. So you are saying the best way to handle it should be on a server as nickr suggests? Running on a server (maybe a well powered Intel NUC with Skylake) and having the file that needs to be decoded video to the Chromebox (which I should have in about a week and a half).
I see that Handbrake has versions for Mac, Windows, and Ubuntu. So this server would probably need to be set up in Ubuntu to run Handbrake and then have the decoded file sent over to Openelec in order to feed it to Chromebox. The server would need both Ubuntu and Openelec. Or can they be doing sending while converting to Openelec. Wow ... this is sounding a little daunting.
Is this correct? If not what would the overall process look like?
