poerlemans 5 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 @@solabc16 Good day James, I would like to test the new beta version on my DS918+. I have already the stable Emby version (3.5.3.0) running on this machine. I understand that both a stable Emby version and a beta Emby version can be installed parallel to each other on the same machine. But that only one of both versions should run. In case you expect that problems may arise, I can also install the beta version on a DS216+ Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oRBIT 0 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Hi, I'd like to test the new version aswell. I'm on a DS918+ user with 12GB of RAM. What can I expect to the .NET core version compared to the "regular" version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solabc16 379 Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Hello @@oRBIT There are a few drivers behind the move to .NET core, one of which is performance; which we expect to improve and continue to improve over time. Having said that, it is likely to be workload specific and the performance gap to Mono has reduced, thanks to the collective community efforts. The are efficiencies to be gained on the development side, as it makes support for various platforms a little easier and potentially more robust; see threads on the real-time monitoring as an example.

Everbrave 62 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 VA-API used to work well with DS918+, but now it is no longer available in this server version (3.6.0.58), what is the appropriate HW selection of the Decoding method for DS918+? When is HW Encoding necessary to select, if at all? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: I think the server lo I sent, log-11.txt, is from my Windows server, so please ignore this one. This is rather a misunderstanding There's no missing or dropped functionality In the second screenshot you can see the "VAAPI H.264" encoder. That's all VAAPI support that has ever existed. Emby didn't have VAAPI accelerated decoding before. (Don't believe? Go to the transcoding settings of an older Emby version; select QuickSync or Nvenc and see the decoder checkboxes; select VAAPI => no decoder checkboxes) The only thing that is wrong here is that DXVA is shown. This will be fixed in the next version. PS: I can't make any announcements, but I can at least say that support for VAAPI decoding is under consideration ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS: I can't make any announcements, but I can at least say that support for VAAPI decoding is under consideration ;-) Well, that is interesting I, and many others, have been using VA-API for HW-transcoding and there are few threads on that; one is https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/51051-is-ds718-and-ds918-units-supported-yet-for-hw-transcoding/page-3 where James also confirmed it. So, there must be some misunderstanding, but which? Nevertheless, getting back to the original question, Which HW-transcoding method should currently be selected for DS918+?
