To be completely honest, I don't use Windows at all so I'm not sure. At the very least, you'd need an SSH server so that the media server can SSH to the Windows box. Beyond that, you'd need some sort of shared filesystem (I use NFS in my example but theoretically SMB would work too, I've just never tested it), and some of the paths might be wonky, but pretty much this is just a wrapper around a command that looks like ssh user@host /path/to/ffmpeg <all the args I was passed>, so I imagine it would be somewhat compatible.

I got remote NVENC transcoding working with a Debian source and a Windows 10 target with minimal effort. Used the OpenSSH Server bundled with Windows, and the custom Jellyfin ffmpeg binaries (did not try others) plus a modification to rffmpeg to replace linux paths with Windows-friendly ones. Works very smoothly with no apparent issues.

I got it to work on Windows as well but using the docker-mod. I wrote a wrapper script on the Windows side to convert the paths.

Could you perhaps share what you did. I could use some insight when getting it working on the Windows side of things.

Sure, when I get some time I'll write something up.

It's not a step by step guide but difficult bits are covered.

Can this setup be done as a docker container?
