martijnk 0 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Hi all, Been a long time Plex user for 3-4 years now, but I don't like the way where it's going so I'm looking for alternatives and people recommended Emby. Now I've noticed that with Emby 4.0 hardware acceleration got a big improvement. I have a Quadro P2000 and with Plex it supports only decoding under FreeBSD not encoding which is forcing me to use Windows which is not an option as my entire library is on a ZFS and I don't want to change it. Long story short, does Emby fully support the Quadro P2000 under FreeBSD or is the same with Plex, so only Intel Quick Sync? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37020 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Hi, we have not tested Nvidia on FreeBSD yet. It is possible for the future though. In the meantime, if you can manage to get Nvidia drivers installed on FreeBSD, then you can always try it. There's nothing in Emby preventing it from working on FreeBSD, we just don't know yet if it actually will. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unhooked 17 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 nvidia linux drivers (which is what we get) only support encoding for now, you have to use quickstep still for decoding so libva/drm kernel modules and such. But whenever I try to enable it in emby, the ui just spins forever because it's not getting results from something. Could also be my hardware though as my newest running freebsd is a 4th gen i5 and I just started playing with that stuff again after migrating my desktop last week.

makarai 108 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 are you using FreeNAS and a jail or a jail in FreeBSD, or just freeBSD ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makarai 108 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 if plex uses ffmpeg that uses the nvidia freebsd driver to utilize encoding i don't see why emby should have problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martijnk 0 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 if plex uses ffmpeg that uses the nvidia freebsd driver to utilize encoding i don't see why emby should have problems. Plex says they are using an older implementation of ffmpeg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makarai 108 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I am by far not an expert on this but I think ffmpeg just needs to support nvenc in order to support the hardware part, and I am quite sure that the newer versions will have that. Why don't you just give it a try? I'd do it but I don't have any hard for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37020 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 No it's more than that. Drivers are also needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makarai 108 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) No it's more than that. Drivers are also needed. yeah thats what i wrote in the comment before. And the nvidia driver in freebsd are quite established. https://www.nvidia.com/object/freebsd-x64-archive.html and if plex manages to achieve hardware transcoding on freebsd i don't see why emby would not Edited January 22, 2019 by makarai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unhooked 17 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Can you provide a server log? I'm curious to see that. Thanks ! I'll dig for it next time it happens, but I think the timeouts happen when changing the transcode space to something that doesn't exist /tmp/emby instead of /tmp. The other options don't seem to trigger it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to use intel quicksync for that (via the drm kmod). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other options don't seem to trigger it. No, the server will create the transcoding temp folder if it doesn't already exist. Best thing to do is attach the server log and then we don't have to guess anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thing to do is attach the server log and then we don't have to guess anymore That doesn't seem to be the case, setting transcode space to /tmp is fine and setting save, if I set them to /tmp/emby and click save I get the spins.

Luke 37020 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 It's really hard to say. I don't see much evidence there of a problem relating to the temporary transcoding path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unhooked 17 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Yeah I know, it's not tossing up any errors. Default saves fine ( but I don't want to transcode to my ssd). /tmp saves fine. (and encoding.xml is created) /tmp/emby (just sits there spinning) if I make /tmp/emby2 it saves fine (but that will never exist between reboots -tmpfs) /Shared/emby (times out unless I create the directory first - zfs pool). /mnt/Shared/emby (times out -nfs share) When it fails it seems to spit out a 404, but that looks the same as a 200. 2019-01-25 21:51:41.150 Info HttpServer: HTTP Response 404 to 192.168.0.10.
