Hello everyone, I’m setting up an Emby server on a NAS DS224+ and have reached the transcoding section, a topic I’m not very familiar with. The NAS processor is an Intel Celeron J4125, which, according to its technical specs and what I found on Wikipedia, has the following compatibility: Transcoding: MPEG-2, AVC, VP8, HEVC, HEVC 10-bit. Decoding only: VC-1, VP9, VP9 10-bit. My question is how to interpret this information in Emby’s settings. Each codec seems to have at least two configuration options, and there’s a priority order between them. I recently purchased the Emby license, giving me access to the Transcoding Tests plugin. However, I found it quite overwhelming due to the number of available options. I decided to perform the file-based test and selected all the options available. Then, I assigned a folder for the tests and started the task. This generated several files in the assigned folder and began a series of tests, but most of them are returning errors. Additionally, I noticed there are over 1200 tests, and after 2 hours, only 16 tests have been completed. Is this normal, or did I do something wrong? I’d greatly appreciate it if someone with experience in this topic could guide me on how to properly configure transcoding in Emby. Thank you in advance!
