Implemented a full benchmark system that automatically detects available
hardware encoders, tests them with different presets, measures FPS
performance, and recommends optimal settings for the user's system.
Features:
- Automatic test video generation (30s 1080p test pattern)
- Hardware encoder detection (NVENC, QSV, AMF, VideoToolbox)
- Comprehensive encoder testing across multiple presets
- Real-time progress UI with live results
- Performance scoring based on FPS metrics
- Top 10 results display with recommendation
- Config persistence for benchmark results
- One-click apply to use recommended settings
UI Components:
- Benchmark button in main menu header
- Progress view showing current test and results
- Final results view with ranked encoders
- Apply/Close actions for recommendation
Integration:
- Added to main menu between "Benchmark" and "Logs" buttons
- Saves results to ~/.config/VideoTools/benchmark.json
- Comprehensive debug logging for troubleshooting
This allows users to optimize their encoding settings based on their
specific hardware capabilities rather than guessing which encoder
will work best.
