Quick Transcoding Question: What is the Video Acceleration API?

[JBL 8]

Hi Everyone,

 

Quick question:

 

Is the Video Acceleration API (VA API) (found under: Emby Server, Transcoding, Hardware Acceleration, Video Acceleration API (VA API) (experimental) compatible with AMD GPUs?

 

Thanks!

Anyone know if the AMD card needs to be of a certain series or later?

It's probably easier for you to google "your_video_card_model vaapi"

Tried that.  Don't see anything useful.
