Emby 3.6.0.67 (DS918+) missing VAAPI encoder

[kyrios 4]

Previously in .65 it was there, along with Intel QuickSync and Samsung Exynos.

Now it's missing in .67

In .67 only Samsung Exynos is the available option.

Thanks for the report. We'll take a look.

Hello @@kyrios, @@FrostByte

 

I've just published 3.6.0.68-2-beta for your platforms ('apollolake'), let us know how you get on once you've installed it.

 

Appreciate if you can run the Diagnostics followed by the Send Logs utilities, once you're up and running.

Edit: Still no VA-API, but everything else seems to be running great so far.

Thanks for the logs @@kyrios and @@FrostByte, the installation itself looks good and the updated GPU 'plumbing' appears to be working correctly.

Only .68-1 beta (not -2) appears in the package center (and is installed) on my side.

Just updated to .69-1 and I'm still seeing the same thing seen in the pic kyrios uploaded in post #1 and no VA-API option to check

[solabc16 379]

Hello @@FrostByte

 

If you don't have debug logging enabled (Dashboard -> Expert -> Logs) can you enable it, and then restart Emby Server (which you can do from the dashboard).

 

Then attach the most recent (embyserver.txt) log here so we can see what's going on.

 

Thanks

The decoder, this is a joke? right?

It's implemented properly? Or partially? Or just a cosmetic?

Hello @@kyrios

 

A joke....?

 

See above (https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/65618-emby-36067-ds918-missing-vaapi-encoder/?p=652511), this is what the GPU is capable of on the 'apollolake' platform.

Those are the device names being reported by vaapi. If you think they're a joke then maybe we just shouldn't even have this feature.
