  1. Hi, Recently I bought a premium Emby subscription on decided to try hardware transcoding, after setting it up I give it a go but sadly some files doesn't start playing at all and the ones who do start only plays for about 10 seconds afterwards they stop. I tried to lower the quality and that way they play normally, but I would like to avoid that and always use the highest quality possible. I never had this issue before, without HW transcoding. I have Emby running on a docker container using the official image, the latest version. I can provide more information about the Docker setup if needed.p The server where Docker is running has a i7-10710U Processor, 16 gb of ram and a 500 gb SSD. Here's the server and ffmpeg log. Please let me know what other information I can provide! Thanks! embyserver.txt ffmpeg-transcode-62d0979d-8c11-43f4-bb36-4ed28f11f286_1.txt

    HW Acceleration not working. ts464c

    Emby 终身订阅,并在设置中启用了转码。 我尝试了EMBY的最新稳定版和beta版,两者都无法启用硬件加速,仅进行软件转码。是因为当前版本不支持英特尔 Jasper 家族吗?谢谢。 ffmpeg-transcode-ab382dbd-0944-40f6-8938-976453a2a3ca_1.txt
  3. I'd like to a address a question here that is coming up regularly and sometimes getting into the focus of user desire as a must-have feature with apparent benefits. Obviously it's an evident conception that some graphics acceleration hardware should be able to accelerate graphics related operations like image extraction. But in this case that doesn't quite apply. The short answer to the subject question is:It wouldn't make a lot of sense. That answer is not really convincing, so let's get into depth.. Most of you will have noticed that we've taken great effort in the area of hardware acceleration for real-time media conversion (transcoding), so from a technical perspective it's not that we couldn't apply that to image extraction. But it doesn't fit well because image extraction is quite a different process. So, what's different here compared to transcoding? - Quite a few things: No Video Encoder Required In case you didn't know: In transcoding situations it's always the Encoder doing the hard part of the job. Situations differ, but to name some figures, you may imagine something like from 90%<>10% to 70%<>30% for Encoder<>Decoder processing requirements. In case of image extraction, it's just about a few hundred still images (jpg) to be saved - as opposed to thousands of video frames having inter-frame dependencies, so no video encoding needs to be done No video encoder also means, that there's no 70, 80,90% percent of the process that could be hardware accelerated. . There's no hardware acceleration for encoding jpg images The encoding of jpg images will always be done by the CPU. (Intel and Nvidia have an MJPEG encoder but that would require an additional processing step that might just slow down things altogether) . Decoding could be done by Hardware Right. That's the only part that could in fact be performed by using hardware decoders. But the simple question here is: Why? What would be the benefit? Getting the Job done faster? We still have the output jpg encoder running on CPU resources which is also limited to a single thread. So, that is the limiting factor actually - no matter how fast the GPU might be . => Would hardly be faster (at least not in magnitudes that would be of interest - e.g. 5x, 10x, 100x) . Saving Resources? When the GPU does the decoding, then there's less processing for the CPU, but the CPU will also have some additional load to handle:Copying video stream data to GPU memory A CPU based decoder can read the stream from a memory-mapped file without copying Copying decoded uncompressed(!) frames back to system memory Uncompressed video frames means huge amounts of data We need to copy those back to system memory in full size uncompressed, even though we just want to create rather small images from it . ​=> Would not save resources (significantly) Emby High-Speed Extraction Quite recently we've introduced a new mechanism for image extraction. This procedure requires only a minimal amount of frames to be decoded, many of them being keyframes. Previously we had to decode every single frame of a video for thumbnail extraction. With an extraction interval of 10s and a framerate of 25 fps that means we had to decode 250 frames for a single thumbnail image. Now, we're seeking to the position, decode 0-20 frames for accuracy (from keyframe to desired position), might be about 10 frames average. That means, with the new image extraction we need to decode only 4% of all video frames instead of 100%. => There isn't much work left to do for a hw decoder . Acceleration Potential Test's have shown that using hw acceleration with the new extraction method can achieve performance gains ranging from 1.0 (same speed) to 2.0 (double speed) only. But that usually at the cost of high consumption of system resources (CPU for JPG encoding) And that leads to the question: Why? There's no hurry and no need to get the extraction done a bit faster. Instead, this is meant to be a Background Operation that shouldn't interrupt your Emby Server's availability (and also not occupy your GPU resources) . Maintenance At the time of writing, Emby supports 8 different hardware acceleration variants each supporting a bunch of decoders all with different specifics. Making sure that all those are working with image extraction would be a huge effort for no practical benefit at all.

    Lip Sync Issue

    Hi, my wife has a THL 5000 and a very nice phone it is too. However, there is a problem when using MB for Android. If she uses the Android MB Client to play back movies, the lip sync is out slightly. If she uses an external player like MX Player, then it is worse unless she selects SW Decoding where it will then play fine. VLC plays fine with no alteration. The problem with an external player is she loses the ability to FF/RW/Resume etc. I have had a quick look but I can't see how to fix this issue. Can anyone help? P.S. She is running the latest client on KitKat.
