Hope to Support Hardware Acceleration (Intel Integrated Graphics) When Building Video Previews

In the current version, by compiling ffmpeg, the Intel integrated graphics card can be effectively utilized for transcoding video files, making good use of the server's hardware resources. However, through observation and testing, I noticed that when generating video file previews, stash does not leverage the available hardware for acceleration. If possible, I hope the developers can add this feature. Relying solely on the CPU for building video previews increases both the server load and the construction time. If this feature is already supported in the current version, please let me know how to configure it. I am currently using the latest official version of stash. Thank you.

A community user tested it and saw little to no improvements when running through a custom script, and ran into compatibility issues with input codecs

Thanks for the info. The custom - script test results may not reflect the true potential of hardware - accelerated preview building.
I still advocate for adding this feature to Stash natively. It can reduce server load and construction time.
