Luke 40143 Posted November 12, 2016 Posted November 12, 2016 Hi, thanks for the report. We have incorporated an exclusion for this into the next release of the server.
Vlaves 2 Posted November 30, 2016 Posted November 30, 2016 Will this VA API transcoding also be used for Live TV transcoding? I'm really now thinking of buying a DS916+ in case this is supported. Is the VA API transcoding also supporting subtitles while transcoding? Would be great if that could be clarified, so I can deside if I should buy that NAS. Thanks a lot for the great support here
Luke 40143 Posted November 30, 2016 Posted November 30, 2016 Yes you can use va API for live TV and subtitles.

Gabbe222 0 Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 So can someone give some performance feedback on the DS916+. How many simultaneously transcode streams can i expect to run without hell breaking loose Scenario: 3 family members + me watching separate movies on separate clients. 4 transcodes at the same time Will ds916+ be able to manage that? Im looking to buy a NAS thats why iam wondering. Have a nice weekend.
stratumorien 10 Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) Practically speaking most media can be direct streamed to clients and doesn't require transcoding. However if in a situation where > 2 transcodes were occuring simultaneously, even with VA API, the 916+ is just not going to cut it with EMBY. This is strange as Synology claims it can transcode 4K natively using HW transcoding, however they are not forthcoming with how this is implemented exactly. Transcodes for me on my 916+ run about 1.3-1.5x but as I mentioned previously I rarely see it transcode unless a Live TV recording occurs. (and at this HW transcoding isnt yet implemented). BTW: I am HAPPY with my 916+ and EMBY running on it. If I need to encode anything in mass I do it from my main PC using GTX 1080 and ffmpeg built to use NVENC... super fast!

vferg 7 Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 I haven't turned on hardware acceleration yet for mine but I just wanted to clarify. Can I use the VA API for my DS1815+ which is Avoton? I only see Braswell mentioned so I was not sure if Avoton is supported at all for H/A.or if I am out of luck for this support on my system at this time. Thanks
Luke 40143 Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 I am not sure. Best thing to do is give it a shot. Let us know how it goes. thanks !

willemavjc 0 Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) Hi @@solabc16, @@Luke, How difficult would it be to make Emby works on Xbox? I think something is going wrong between the app and the VA API because when enabling VA API and playing h265 movies, it transcodes to H264 (based on Dashboard infos) with a 20% CPU but Xbox displays NO video. When disabling h/w acceleration, videos play, with a 98% CPU. Edited February 19, 2017 by willemavjc
Luke 40143 Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Can you provide the transcoding log from this? thanks.
willemavjc 0 Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 OK. If I am correct, there is a wiki subject to learn how to extract these logs, am I? Oh, by the way, how could I install a previous release? Clearly, emby is going worse at each release for Xbox One... 3.2.4 no longer works with XBO. (3.2.5 not available at the moment through Synology.)

willemavjc 0 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) Okay, so here we go. Server is DS916+ (Intel Pentium N3710) with Emby Server 3.2.5.0-1, Client Emby Theater 2.0.1 for Xbox One, Movie HEVC/AC3. Case 1: "Hardware acceleration" set to "None" CPU 98% Movie does not start and finally lead to a loss of Emby Theater (kill required) Dashboard indicates a transcoding mkv h264 ac3 Logs attached.

willemavjc 0 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) Case 2: "Hardware acceleration" set to "Video Acceleration API (VA API) (experimental)" CPU 10-20% Movie does not start and finally lead to a loss of Emby Theater (kill required) Dashboard indicates a transcoding mkv h264 ac3 Logs attached. The fact is that before, it was working in both situations: Case 1 was leading to a lot of freezing times, probably due to a cache being consumed faster than being rebuild. Case 2 was playing fine, perfectly fine I can't say if Emby Theater was recently updated, XBO keeps all apps up to date for you automatically. But I saw immediate issues when upgrading from 3.2.1 to 3.2.4 (and .5 now) on Synology. Let me know if I can help furthermore. server-63623913585.txt ffmpeg-transcode-47623362-4b4c-4ad3-81fe-d5ff80292661.txt Edited February 28, 2017 by willemavjc
