Enable hardware acceleration for transcoded Blu-ray folder playback

[vlix 1]

Currently, when trying to playback a movie from an untouched Blu-ray folder structure (which is an experimental feature at least for the web player), Emby Server will not use hardware acceleration (either decode or encode) for transcoding. This does not seem to be a technical limitation, because hardware transcoding works fine if I play the exact same .m2ts file directly from a folder named as the movie.

 

Luke informed me that hardware acceleration was disabled because it would be too much work to support and troubleshoot, but I would argue that since this is an experimental feature, it won't need to be supported anyway.

 

Would it therefore be possible to (re-)enable hardware acceleration for transcoded Blu-ray folder playback?

 

Thanks for your time and consideration!!

No actually Ebr is right. Users reported problems with it, and it became easier to just disable it so that they could still use hardware support when transcoding video files.

Oh well. Thanks anyway.
