Intel Arc support

[nyanmisaka]

The GPU firmware loading is broken in Linux 6.1, which is required by the QuickSync. So it makes no sense to use "force_probe".

[jaimbo]

Looks like Plex have some dev builds available with the latest intel drivers (for fixing separate issues) and it might support hardware transcoding for ARC GPUs! https://forums.plex.tv/t/anybody-get-hw-transcoding-working-with-the-a380-on-ubunutu/823618/29

 

Anyone in this thread able to test/confirm this? Looking forward to Unraid moving to kernel 6.2 and hopefully seeing the new intel driver in the main Plex builds 😁

[Flynn84]

Got the following error when trying to do HW transcoding with an Arc A380 on 6.12-RC6. Any ideas on what the problem is? Same error on VA-API and QSV.

I followed the Jellyfin docker tutorial but don't know how to update initramfs on Unraid to enable HuC and GuC, maybe that's the issue?

It means the GuC/HuC firmware is not ready or the Linux kernel is < 6.2.

How do I update it?

Yeah, I thought it was possible to get it working with Kernel 6.1 but it looks like it's not worth the hassle. Spun up a quick VM with Ubuntu Server and Jellyfin Docker and it works out of the box like a charm. Looking forward to unraid with Kernel 6.2 so I can get rid of the VM.

[ontarian_frog]

Unfortunately, I'm not savy enough to venture into the realm of replacing the kernel myself, therefore will wait it out for now. I don't need gpu transcoding that bad, since my cpu (R9 3900) can handle it. We can always use a VM meanwhile. This is what I figure needs to happen:

 

1. Slackware needs to update to kernel 6.3 (6.2 is EOL)

 

2. zfs 2.x isn't compatible with kernel 6.3 at the moment. This could take a while.

 

3. Other issues I'm not aware of.

 

4.... Profit?

 

I can't remember where I read it but it was said that arc support would come in an unRAID 6.13 release, therefore it might be a little while before we see that.

[FlyingTexan]

For me it's not about how many streams I can transcode but how fast.  I'm a pilot and always in airports. A lot of times I grab my ipad and hope to download through plex which needs to transcode for the download to ipad. So for me it's about having the horsepower to plow through something very fast. 

[illrigger]

Seems to me that prioritizing ZFS support was a mistake. People don't pick Unraid over TrueNAS because they want to use ZFS; in fact, many choose it because they can avoid using ZFS.

 

Unraid's strength is in its simpler setup and flexibility with hardware support, and a lot of that is now lost because we are stuck waiting for them to update ZFS.

I wouldn't say it was a mistake, but I would absolutely rather have Arc support over ZFS.

Just because you don't do that doesn't mean others don't as well. I specifically started using Unraid now that they support ZFS and a lot of Unraid users already used ZFS through an extension beforehand. Unraid was never about being the absolute bleeding edge of Linux Kernel compatibility either. And it shouldn't be, as a solution mostly for Homelab users that don't want to fiddle with everything themselves and want an easy and powerful solution. Being bleeding edge invites a lot of bugs and hassle for users (and devs).

 

Also, ARC GPUs already work in a VM flawlessly so just use a VM if you want to use them. And I'm pretty sure that ZFS support for Kernel 6.3 (or the next LTS Kernel version) is going to be here rather sooner than later and Unraid will support the next LTS Kernel in its 6.12.1 release.

This is true.  Limetech has been getting "pressure" for native ZFS support for close to two years.  The addition of ZFS is in response to user demand for it and was a major undertaking for the team.  Obviously, that has held their attention for a while.

 

Arc support has Linux kernel dependencies and messing with the Linux kernel version, unless necessary, is something the team tries to avoid during a new release cycle although it has happened (usually with just minor, incremental kernel versions).

 

I am sure Intel Arc support, at least as far as the Linux kernel takes it, will be coming in a future release.

14th gen intel is coming with AV1 support and I'd imagine the igpu there would drivers that need 6.2 as well, wouldn't it? At this point i'm debating selling my arc card and just waiting on 14th gen.

I really want to throw an ARC A40  or 2 in my system but between drivers and parts it's looking like I might grab another av1 card.

Are there other cards that would suit this need? I really want to use the A380 in my drawer, it's been in there for a long time. I don't want to have to do VMs to get it going.  My plex setup runs as a container on unraid and from what i can ready they've updated the ffmpeg in plex so it supports arc transcoding now. Even it just to hammer through HEVC I'd like to get it going.

Yeah I have 2 A380s waiting but I think I'm going to drop some money on an R730xd server and I don't think I can fit 2 dual slot cards in there.  But an A380 is effectively an A40 with a low profile backend and a single slot cooler and some different firmware.  The hardware appears to be the same.

Seems like that might be a good while. I was just looking and Thor has updated kernels for 6.11.5 that I believe support this. One user on r/unraid said he's been 70 days uptime with no issues. I'm thinking of going this route.

Yea I didn't see any benefit as I was there for the ARC support that never came.  Plex developer just messaged me on their forums saying that the latest libraries are in plex and ARC support is there across the board so if it works in windows it works in linux.  I guess now it comes down to figuring out how to put this modified kernel into my 6.11.5.

Yeah.  I know they are waiting on ZFS to fully support 6.2 but after that we should get it.  I hope there is a big enough push that we get the kernel update as a sub update for unraid.
