Bert 49 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 https://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/1535722 I have a second generation i5 now with HD Graphics 3000 which I can't get Emby to use quicksync with. Would this be a significant upgrade? Would it help Theater produce a better live TV picture on Xbox One Theater? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 That's a decent rig. If you're only using it for the server, just build it yourself. Forget the Radeon card and put windows 10 on it. Throw in a few more hard drives, too. Why won't QS work on your present rig? It doesn't work on mine because I'm running Beta, and the ffmeg build would appear not to support it. I have an i7 6700k, but it's plenty strong enough for transcoding. Explain more about your present issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert 49 Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 With Quicksync enabled nothing will play since going to Windows 10. Handbrake works fine. I believe it has something to do with the Windows 10 driver for HD 3000. I've posted logs before but never got an exact answer likely because Quicksync is still deemed experimental.

PenkethBoy 2063 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Yep good strong processor the i7 6700 but if you go the build your own route get the K version so you can play and overclock if you need to Not 100% sure of this without checking but is quicksync not disabled if you have a graphics card installed But you do have to have a motherboard that supports the intel graphics - mid to high end boards usually disable it by default - like my Asus Sabertooth Z170 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert 49 Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 No graphics installed and like I said it works with Handbrake. This is the MB I have and 16 Gig Ram. http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3855#ov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the only way to enable QS is to enable the GPU by connecting the HDMI cable directly to the motherboard and not use any other GPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert 49 Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) 3.0.8300.0 Funny thing though I just tested it again and it worked. It's worked before randomly though just not consistently. I did get a new driver but thought I tested after that. Guess I can hold off for a while and see if what I have can hold me over.

Happy2Play 8296 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I would open another topic specific to your issue and post your logs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 as that m/b has monitor ports then it will support intel graphics and by default qS - as you said handbrake works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert 49 Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Yeah actually after the one TV fail everything is working fine on android. Theater gives me color spinning circle and black screen. I'll start a new topic tomorrow and see if I can provide clean loss. Be happy to keep my $600.....

Bert 49 Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 In theater, I use DXVA2Copyback How? Is there a setting for this in Theater? I am so close now to having Emby rock. If I could get a good Live TV picture through Xbox One Theater I could lose the computers I have attached to them which would be awesome as I need a client elsewhere.

Bert 49 Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 OK I started a thread in Theater... Will see what Lucas thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert 49 Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 I know all hardware transcoding is experimental but are any further along than the others? I max out my cpu if there's more than one stream and was thinking maybe I could add a graphics card to solve the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
