How do you use the processor to decode HEVC h.265 in Emby? Using 6th gen Xeon
Hi. I'm using Xeon E3-1225 V6. I'm using Emby. I have been downloading quite a few movies with HEVC h.265 encoding. So far, it's been using my CPU, eating up to 95% of all 4 cores. I know this processor has built-in Quick Sync Video, ergo, won't eat a lot of processing power. But how do you exactly enable it in Unraid, in Emby Docker (linuxserver.io)?
I have got this all working, here is a guide. This will only work with intel iGPU on unraid. I have an E3-1275 V5 CPU. This guide is based on Emby 4.0
You need an Intel CPU with iGPU and quick sync video support. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video
The assumption is that nothing else is using the integrated video from your CPU (no VM's)
Mine is Skylake so I am limited to HEVC, (no 10 bit, that will be software transcode instead), If I upgrade
