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

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?

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.

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
