Starting with the next release, the open-source edition of OvenMediaEngine will no longer provide hardware-accelerated features, including hardware encoder integrations such as NVIDIA. This was a difficult decision, and we want to begin by thanking everyone who has relied on these features over the years and asking for your understanding. Software-based features, including software encoding, remain fully supported, and no other features are affected.
