+#### Raspberry Pi
+You may want to use OMX for transcoding as the CPU on the board can be slow. If so, make sure the ffmpeg installed on your Pi has `h264_omx` support and set the `ffmpegCodec` option below to `h264_omx`. You can always compile ffmpeg from source using [these instructions](https://github.com/legotheboss/YouTube-files/wiki/(RPi)-Compile-FFmpeg-with-the-OpenMAX-H.264-GPU-acceleration).

+#### Mac OS
+You may want to use VideoToolbox hardware acceleration for transcoding. If so, make sure the ffmpeg installed on your Mac has `videotoolbox` support and set `ffmpegCodec` option below to `h264_videotoolbox`.

 #### Docker
-The Homebridge Docker container requires an extra environment variable to install ffmpeg: `PACKAGES=ffmpeg`.
+The Homebridge Docker container requires an extra environment variable to install ffmpeg: `PACKAGES=ffmpeg`. The Docker container also requires the `libx264` codec as it uses the ffmpeg inside the container and not the ffmpeg on the device running the container.
