How exactly do you get HEVC transcoding exactly? Can't get Emby to work

Featured Replies

Info:

CPU- Kaby Lake Intel Celeron G3930, 2 cores 2 threads

Motherboard- Asus H110M-K motherboard

 

Things I've done so far:

Changed my go script to:

 

modprobe i915

chmod -R 777 /dev/dri

 

# Start the Management Utility

/usr/local/sbin/emhttp &

 

Edited 

syslinux.cfg and added the the kernel parameter i915.alpha_support=1

 

For reference, my file looks like this:

 

default menu.c32
menu title Lime Technology, Inc.
prompt 0
timeout 50
label unRAID OS
  menu default
  kernel /bzimage
  append initrd=/bzroot i915.alpha_support=1
label unRAID OS GUI Mode
  kernel /bzimage
  append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui
label unRAID OS Safe Mode (no plugins, no GUI)
  kernel /bzimage
  append initrd=/bzroot unraidsafemode
label unRAID OS GUI Safe Mode (no plugins)
  kernel /bzimage
  append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui unraidsafemode
label Memtest86+
  kernel /memtest

 

Booted the bios, and made sure primary display is "cpu graphics"

IGPU Multi-Monitor= Enabled

Above 4G Decoding= Enabled

 

Went into EmbyServer docker container, and under Transcoding, Enable hardware acceleration when available= Yes

 

Edited the EmbyServer docker container, under Extra Parameters, put in "--device /dev/dri:/dev/dri", under Container Variable: GIDLIST=18

 

Still not working.  Am I still missing anything?

Anyone?

in syslinux.cfg the i915.alpha_support option is not needed for your case so you can drop that.

Try setting Emby Transcoding to Advanced. You should see a list of video codecs and any available HW decoders for them.

ie.

Removing the following line gives me errors in non Gui mode.

 

append initrd=/bzroot i915.alpha_support=1

Putting it back allows me to boot normally once again.  Will resume further testing when this is fixed.

What version of unraid are you running?

  • Author

6.8.0.  When I put this line back "append initrd=/bzroot i915.alpha_support=1" everything is well again. 

  • Author

I do get those options now.

But still performing at 100% CPU.

You might need to check with the Emby Devs on whats up with your media and why it cannot be decoded with HW acceleration.

I had some transcoding issues before and it turns out it was a specific setting with regards to subtitles that was causing the format to fail and run in SW decoding instead.

 

FYI:

you don't remove the whole line. you just remove the i915.alpha_support=1 part
