UnRaid 6.1.6 Emby Server Docker - Intel Quick Sync fail

[Douglas_D 0]

I'm having an issue trying to transcode with Intel Quick Sync.  When I try to force transcoding to use Quick Sync, transcoding never starts.  I see:

it looks like you have an older ffmpeg version installed that doesn't support the look_ahead parameter we're using.

We don't have a docker that supports intel quick sync and unfortunately I don't have the hardware in order to know if I can get it working.

Are you able to upgrade the ffmpeg version in the docker? I can test for you.

[hurricanehrndz 149]

I will, I'm in the process of overhauling the docker containers for this specifically. The problem is that I will also need to pass the appropriate hardware devices to the container and I have no clue as to which the would be, so I'm going to try and get going with nvidia and then try intel

Any news on this topic?

We have overhauled docker but quick sync has not been added yet

There is something in the wiki in regards to this. I don't think it will be possible unraid unless the right kernel modules get build by the developers of unraid.

Hi hurricanehrndz,

 

I was attempting to run Live TV on Emby in a Docker container on my Synology DS716+ and I found that the CPU was being pegged at 100% particularly for channels with less signal quality. Has Intel QSV been added yet and if so how would I validate it's working in my setup?

 

Thanks!

That looks like just enough complexity to warrant keeping an external server around for Emby that I know is powerful enough instead of getting this all to run in a Docker container.
