1.37 is really coming together. Thanks for all your hard work.

I'm a C++ developer, and I'll have time on my hands this fall. If there's anything you want me to look at, let me know.

Hi Gerald.
It's nice to hear good words.
Of course your help will be useful.
As far as I know, sometimes there is a small memory leak somewhere and the problem of CPU resource consumption by "zmc" process has not yet been resolved.
Isaac can probably tell you in more detail.

I've got lots of stuff for you to look into.

At the moment we are looking at switching to avcodec instead of libjpeg-turbo for jpeg encoding. This brings us yuv420p to jpeg encoding and possibly hwaccel for it.

This allows use to refactor and remove the translation to RGBA which should cut cpu/ram use A LOT.

There's lots of other stuff to work on too, like websockets, mqtt, webrtc, postgresql support, etc. Whatever interests you, I'm sure we can find something to work on.
