#
# rffmpeg works as a drop-in replacement to an existing ffmpeg binary. It is
# used to launch ffmpeg commands on a remote machine via SSH, while passing
# in any stdin from the calling environment. Its primary usecase is to enable
# a program such as Jellyfin to distribute its ffmpeg calls to remote machines
# that might be better suited to transcoding or processing ffmpeg.
#
# rffmpeg uses a configuration file, by default at `/etc/rffmpeg/rffmpeg.yml`,
# to specify a number of settings that the processes will use. This includes
# the remote system(s) to connect to, temporary directories, SSH configuration,
# and other settings.
