Preferred Hardware Decoders and Preferred Hardware Encoders are blank

[cdrake 0]

I'm running the latest version of Emby through CasaOS on top of Ubuntu. When I enable Transcoding and go to Advanced, no hardware is listed. But there are options under Software Encoder. I already installed the latest drivers for my GTX 1070 through Ubuntu, so I'm not sure why it's not showing up. Any help is appreciated!

Will guess these are the same issue but doesn't appear to have a answer yet.

Devs will probably need server and hardware_detection logs.

Here are the logs I think you're asking for. If not please, let me know.

Thank you @Happy2Playfor helping me so far.

Hardware detect shows your device was detected but failed to initialize, and since you are on CasaOS perhaps the docker container it is composing does not have permissions to access the underlying graphics adapter?

...Please adapt the UID, GID and GIDLIST values to match the owner of your media files. GIDLIST is also needed to grant access to VAAPI/NVDEC/NVENC render nodes.

...ls -l <directory> will give you user and group information of your media directories and render nodes, getent passwd <user> | cut -d: -f3 and getent group <group> | cut -d: -f3 will respectively print UID and GID.

That would make sense. I'm now trying to figure out how to give it permission.

Hi, did you figure it out?

Yes! But not with CasaOS. I had to switch to UNRAID (which I had used before for another server), and it worked just fine.

OK thanks for the update.
