Hi folks, I am new to this forum and Emby. Here the gist of a question/problem that I have not been able to resolve: Environment: Host Ubuntu Server (18.04) QEMU/KVM configuration 50TB (3 ZFS Pools) | Multiple VMs Passthrough NVIDIA 750ti to VM (Guest A) Guest A Ubuntu 20.04 - Passthrough NVIDIA 750ti (nvidia-smi -> OK) - Docker Docker Emby Server Questions: Although I have spent a good 2 days configuring things, reading posts, articles -- etc. I have not been able to find clear answers to the following basic questions. I kindly ask for your insight and/or specific links with specific answers to these questions: In short: Is emby not using HW to transcode content because of configuration or GPU capability issues? Other questions: 1. How do I know when/if emby is leveraging the video card for transcoding? The log is confusing to me (just learning about all this). Some sections show UseHWcodecs=true -> Then it uses a SW encoder >>>>>> FindVideoEncoder - Media: h264, UseHardwareCodecs: True, Mode: Custom Info Checking: 'libx264 Software Encoder' Info Check successful - selecting 'libx264 Software Encoder' 2. It appears emby recognized that HW is available/capable but then it is not used (lack of HW codecs)? 3. How do I know what is SW vs HW in the following lines? 16:51:30.397 Stream mapping: 16:51:30.397 Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (mpeg2video (native) -> h264 (libx264)) 16:51:30.397 Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (copy) I truly appreciate your help, hardware_detection-63777948584.txt ffmpeg-transcode-7a1f26b1-5881-4197-9360-8e3cca20a4f5_1.txt ffmpeg-transcode-LDMOVIE_4k_a18a5662-fe1b-4052-88ef-216c28ab7742_1.txt
