Hi!
When I'm optimizing a video in Plex, an MKV H264 (4GB) takes ~30 min to convert to the 'Phone 1080p' preset. But when I'm using Handbrake (docker container) it seems to never finish, I've let it run for 2h and it still didn't finish. I suspect Handbrake isn't using hardware acceleration (Intel quick sync?). I've read that it should be enabled by default (?). Is there something I need to do to enable it? Thank you!
No, you have to set up the container to use hardware acceleration.
Assuming your CPU supports QSV and that you have configured unRAID to load the i915 drivers, you need to setup a container device that points to /dev/dri
If you have QSV properly configured in unRAID and the container, Intel QSV will show up as a video codec you can select in Handbrake
Create a custom preset using this codec and save it in HandBrake.
If you want y
