HandBrake Web
A self-hosted web platform for distributed video encoding using HandBrake across multiple headless devices.
What is HandBrake Web?
HandBrake Web is a self-hosted platform that provides a web interface to use HandBrake for video encoding on headless devices. It allows users to distribute encoding tasks across multiple machines, managing a shared job queue through a browser-based dashboard. The project solves the problem of efficiently processing large video libraries by leveraging distributed computing and hardware acceleration.
Media server administrators, homelab enthusiasts, and developers who need to batch encode videos across multiple headless machines without a desktop GUI. It's ideal for those with a collection of devices (like NAS units, spare PCs, or servers) they want to utilize for video processing.
Developers choose HandBrake Web because it offers a scalable, self-hosted solution for distributed video encoding that integrates seamlessly with HandBrake's powerful CLI. Its unique selling point is the ability to pool resources from multiple workers into a single managed queue, with support for hardware-accelerated encoding, all accessible via a clean web interface.
