transcoder upgrade

If you use Nimble Live Transcoder, you need to make a major upgrade described in this article.

We use FFmpeg for filtering and some decoding operations and lately we've moved from FFmpg 3 to FFmpeg 4 in order to get all latest and greatest improvements.

This requires simultaneous upgrade of both Nimble Streamer and Live Transcoder packaged.

Please read this article for upgrade details and contact us in case of questions.
