russman547 0 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Will the emby server support transcoding on the this platform? I dloaded and installed the emby server version ARMv8. in the transcode settings it lists encoding is availble but not decoding... the specs ARM 4-core Cortex-A55 which should support some code for transcoding. Do I not have the correct version installed for this server? Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37116 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Hi, can you try the 4.8 beta server? It has updated hardware support added to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russman547 0 Posted November 13, 2023 Author Share Posted November 13, 2023 Luke I have dloaded and installed the beta but i still dont have access to the hardware transcoding. i have added the hardware detection log below. also the transcode log. processor was maxed out and i didnt wait long enough for it to play, like 4mins Russ hardware_detection-63835409878.txt ffmpeg-transcode-8ff092cf-9b50-48e4-a8bb-b1cab952c79f_1.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37116 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 HI, please attach the main emby server log as well. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are normally detecting all hwa devices, but we have no detection for V4L2 and this encoder is added under certain conditions only. I don't remember for which case this was intended, but in the past few years I haven't seen any log where it was working at all. Probably it's rather time to remove it to avoid confusion or setting high hopes. The ARM 4-core Cortex-A55 is a CPU core, not a GPU, so I'm not sure which spec you have read. Probably you have some single-board computer with a SOC and the SOC includes some GPU. But it doesn't matter which kind of GPU it has. From the fact alone that it took > 4min to start playback, I can blindly tell that you won't get any decent transcoding on this device. Hw acceleration does not mean that the CPU can sleep. Those operations go hand-.in-hand between CPU and GPU and then the CPU is so slow, then the fastest GPU in the world cannot compensate for it (in those kinds of architectures). Transcoding requires large amounts of data need to be moved, and that's a typical weakness of such devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
