djjohnnyb 0 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 hello !, we have completed the installation of emby server on ubuntu 17 machine and we have installed the nvidia drivers for the p4000 board, unfortunately also setting from the transcoding menu of emby with NVENC is not performed on GPU but on CPU, while using the following command on the same machine the NVENC hardware transcoding is performed correctly: "time ffmpeg -i /home/utente/film.mkv -acodec copy -vcodec nvenc /home/utente/test.mp4" What operation should we perform to make the NVENC hardware transcoding work on Emby? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37007 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Hi welcome. there's nothing wrong here. It's stream copying the original video without any transcoding. Why do you feel that something is wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djjohnnyb 0 Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 in the first image you see written "play method: transcoding", the transcoding is done correctly but via CPU and not through GPU... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37007 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I understand, but the command line example you shows contains no transcoding at all: "time ffmpeg -i /home/utente/film.mkv -acodec copy -vcodec nvenc /home/utente/test.mp4" Can you please attach the ffmpeg log from an example? thanks.

Solution Luke 37007 Posted April 11, 2018 Solution Share Posted April 11, 2018 It's because the ffmpeg build included with Emby in your version of the server does not include nvenc libraries. They have been added for the next release. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. ok, thanks you, in the meantime you can use a version of external ffmpeg install on ubuntu ?, in the transcoding section there is not the possibility to set a different version of ffmpeg, while on debian it is possible ...

Luke 37007 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 In releases of emby server that pre-bundle ffmpeg, the configuration won't be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
