As I understand it, the HLS transcode runs on whichever BE holds the
recording.  Can we get a sneak peak as to the long term plan for HLS?  Will
it move to the job queue where we can control which BEs run this work?

I ask as currently my MBE is the only box with real horsepower and is the
only BE configured to run jobs.  My SBEs are diskless, low horsepower
machines that aren't meant to do any "real" work.

Please know I'm not complaining about HLS, just want to understand the long
term plan so I can understand if I need to beef up my SBEs to support HLS.

Also, is there any feasibility of VDPAU assisted transcode playing a part
in HLS in the near or far future?  (couldn't resist)

Thanks!
Dave
