Sammy 735 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 A quick question about the new transcoding option.. I have a Radeon HD 7850 video card and don't use the internal intel video card on my Haswell system. Will this still work? Is it processing outside of the video card?

I have Freeze on my configuration. Same movie, launch twice, 1st Freeze at 2min25, i stop relaunch movie Freeze at 2min46. FFMEG Process at 15% during movie, 15-20% after Freeze Transcoding Temp folder have disk space Thanks server-63584591794.txt transcode-5e12229d-0087-411a-a05e-9000d823211a.txt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chillout 85 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) If you use an AMD or NVIDIA graphics card, you may have to enable the intel GPU to allow programs to use Quicksync even if its not connected to a monitor. I found the Action! tutorial helpful although I still cannot get Quicksync to work without it crashing FFMPEG during a transcode. So maybe this trick doesnt work, my sandy bridge CPU isnt compatible or a million other reasons why it doesnt work. https://mirillis.com/en/products/tutorials/action-tutorial-intel-quick-sync-setup_for_desktops.html Edited December 2, 2015 by Chillout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a variety of issues of why this will/will not work with FFMPEG. Short story, FFMPEG will most likely need to be slightly modified (there are rumors that one of the dedicated members of this forum is going to work on that) and you have to run Emby in the tray on the user level. Regardless of whether Quicksync is functioning for you outside of Emby (which it is for me), there will be other issues at play before it works with Emby. Long story - I'll let someone more intelligent than me explain that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillout 85 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) Legalink: thanks for confirming my suspicions about Emby (FFMPEG) quicksync not working with my generation of intel CPU. I got it to work outside of Emby using Action! and a quicksync encoding program so I know its enabled. Honestly, I dont see much effort in FFMPEG supporting a CPU technology long passed... Transcoding via Quicksync is a great idea when it works, but its such a quirky technology that it may be more trouble for the developers than its worth because it brings a laundry list of problems.

legallink 187 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I forgot to ask what version of windows you are using. If it is Windows 8 or newer it may not be so complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legallink 187 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I am using Windows 7 Than you are in the same boat as I am. My previous statements are correct (as far as I know). If you have access to a WIndows 8 or 10 machine and you updated to the most recent Direct X, you could see if that would/does work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I would be nice to report which CPU revision is working without problem. Probably not much of a help to people in this thread but I have Quick Sync working on my Skylake (6th generation) i5. I had to install the drivers from Intel's website before it would turn on, though. This is what I installed: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25150/Intel-Iris-Iris-Pro-and-HD-Graphics-Production-Driver-for-Windows-10-64-bit Unfortunately, that driver only supports 4th generation (Haswell) and higher. For older CPUs you would probably have to search Intel's website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asturia 0 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Will quicksync work on Windows Server 2012 r2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Will quicksync work on Windows Server 2012 r2? I don't see why not. That is built with a kernal similar to Windows 8.1. I am using it with Windows Server Essentials 2016 Technical Preview right now. Quick Sync isn't new to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 735 Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 I quit using this option but is there any news on updates to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36881 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 everytime you update your video drivers that qualifies as an update. there have been no emby changes to it, but anytime we update ffmpeg that also will affect the feature. we'll probably update again soon.
