l0fL 0 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Hello everybody, I've a selfmade NAS (xpenology) with an Intel Pentium Gold G4620 Kaby Lake CPU und 4GB Ram. DSM & Emby are up to date. I used the "normal" emby from this repo https://synology.emby.media/?package_repository=360efc6e-de72-4073-b603-2bfbd7001586 . When I want to transcode a movie my cpu is about 80% workload. If i reduce the Quality i've round about 55%. It doesnt matter which settings i use (QuickSync, VAAPI...)-, it's always the same. Actually my cpu would have to decode in hardware, but it doesnt seem that way. How can i transcode in Hardware and yes the hook on hardware encoding is set. Thank you!

l0fL 0 Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) My workload The small slope in the beginning was transcode at 1080p 60 Mbit/s and the increase was 480p. The file is a native 1080p file. I have the same result if i choice Quick Sync. my settings and my log https://paste2.org/aYAGfHsB Edited June 13, 2018 by l0fL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eevv 0 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Hi Luke I've just been setting up Emby on a DS415Play Evansport the last few days. I installed from package center, and after did the SSH procedure of changing ffmpeg version or whatever it was. Can you explain a bit more what you mean by what you say here ? I have no user "emby", but package installed created user "embysrvr". It is by default only a member of the "users" group, one of the three default groups (others are "administrators" and "http (system default group for web services)". So should there be a user called emby and or a user group called video after package install ? Or do you just mean that the embysrvr user must be gives read/write access to the video shared folder ? Thanks for your help. Have you added user emby to the video group on the Synology? Beyond that we'll see what @@solabc16 thinks. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solabc16 379 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Thanks @@l0fL Mentioning @@Joly0 here, who has reported similar findings with getting their XPEnology setup. Primarily, this is an XPEnology 'issue', and I don't mean that in the sense of it being a fault or bug. Have you tried the DS916+ or DS918+ loaders, which target h/w that does natively have GPU support? I don't believe the DS3615xs kernel includes the necessary device drivers, as although the CPU might be capable of supporting h/w transcoding, this model was targeted at 'business' users and hence they were not included.
