Docker nvidia accelerated transcoding not working after cuda upgrade

[pmalek 0]

Hi all,

 

I've just updated my CUDA drivers to version 10 and I cannot get transcoding to work. I'm running emby (currently version 4.0.0.1) in Docker with the following Dockerfile 

FROM alpine:latest AS builder

ARG VERSION=3.6.0.46

RUN apk update \
&& apk add wget ca-certificates \
&& wget --progress=bar:force -O /emby.deb \
https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/download/${VERSION}/emby-server-deb_${VERSION}_amd64.deb

FROM nvidia/video-codec-sdk:8.2-ubuntu18.04
COPY --from=builder /emby.deb /emby.deb
RUN (dpkg -i /emby.deb ; true) \
&& echo /opt/emby-server/lib/ >> /etc/ld.so.conf \
&& echo /opt/emby-server/lib/samba >> /etc/ld.so.conf \
&& ldconfig

ENTRYPOINT ["/opt/emby-server/bin/emby-server"]

ffmpeg-transcode https://pastebin.com/5wCQ9D6s

 

Any clues why this might not work?

 

executing ffmpeg in containers returns the following:

Use -h to get full help or, even better, run 'man ffmpeg'

I'm 100% certain hardware acceleration is not working since that's easy to verify with e.g. nvidia-smi (when I launch ffmpeg with hw accel on host it spikes to 100% whereas it doesn't budge when I launch a movie with specified quality different than the original)

Version 3.6.0.46 ?

 

Do you have Emby Premiere?

 

The version is there just to have a default value ( maybe I should change that) . I use 4.0.0.1 as mentioned above.

 

As for Emby Premiere I do not have it but I've noticed that transcoding server option say that I need it yet it worked up until recently. Any changelog entries I have missed that made it exclusively a Premiere option?

Hi, yes we made this announcement on our blog:

https://emby.media/community/index.php?/blog/1/entry-443-exciting-additions-coming-soon-in-emby-server-36/

 

We have revamped hardware acceleration and this has been a massive effort for us, and that is why it now requires Emby premiere. We thank you for your support .

Hmm alright. That's reasonable. Although some sort of log entry or a popup (besides the note in my screenshot) would be nice so that users won't overlook it as I did.

BTW

 

 

 

On some platforms such as Nvidia Shield and certain NAS devices, it will be included freely out of the box.

 

Can I find a list of those somewhere?

[Luke 37008]

Yes I would agree with that. Thanks for the feedback.

We should add a note to the ffmpeg logs otherwise we will always need to ask people about it...

Shield and Western digital.
