Hi, 

Searched but couldn't find but I have had an issue where if I hardware passthrough anything to a windows VM I end up with my Emby Docker stalling out and randomly failing to transcode anything above 720p. No errors in any logs and this is all running on a Ryzen 5950X with 128 gigs so tons of capacity. 

 

Ultimately this led me to basically scrap the windows VM as a daily driver and reallocate the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER to dockers and whatever since transcoding was more important than the VM. What I have found is that if I run the windows VM with only VNC all is well.

 

So what the million dollar question for me is: can I have that VM Console (VNC) window hardware accelerated without having to pass anything through to the VM itself?

Not currently but I am working on virgl for a future release. 

 

Awesome, thank you!

 

 

And in the mean time if anyone has some ideas on why a Windows10 VM borks up my Emby docker I would be all ears.
