Enable hardware acceleration on FreeBSD

[metsuke 27]

Is the concept the same for nvidia cards? Will a separate sys tree be required to copy into the jail?

[Duffyx 25]

Yes, its the same concept.

Thanks, I'm not entirely sure then how to know what directories from /sys I need to copy into the jail. Do we know the method by which the Intel /sys directories were found?

[Duffyx 25]

Just copy the tarball as layed out. The files are not actually used by anything that matters, its just faking a GPU for ffdetect to pick up. It might work by changing some numbers around to get an "nvidia gpu" to show up. Although tbh I don't know what the state of nvidia is on FreeBSD, nvenc seems a far shot, maybe VAAPI.

I'm a bit stuck. I used to have it working for a while but now even though vainfo and ffdetect show everything they should, symling is there, /sys is extracted - I don't see anything in transcoding tab in the dashboard

Any suggestions?

Could you post the hw detection log created by Emby server?

[bbartlomiej 5]

Yes, see attached. It seams to begin with the same information as the output of my ffdetect command in previous post. It's a clean log taken just now after cleaning logs and restarting emby-server.

This is stable package in a jail under TrueNAS. All the workarounds from this thread applied: devfs passthrough, symling from render0 to card0, modules loaded and visible inside jail (as is /dev/dri/* stuff).

Thanks.

The detection looks OK. We need to find out why the detected hwaccels aren't used.

Could you please also post the server log?
Please follow these instructions:

• Stop the server
• locate the program data folder
• there's a sub-folder cache
• in the cache folder, delete the ffmpeg folder
• Start the server
• Wait 30s
• Post the server log

Thanks

[bbartlomiej 5]

See attached. Attaching hardware_detection log again after cleanup and restart.

@bbartlomiej - thanks for the logs.

I was able to identify the cause of the error. It will be fixed in the next beta!

Thanks again,
sw

@softworkz wow thatnks! Just FYI, with current beta 4.7.0.18 the transcoding doesn't work at all for me - even software. Simply the video doesn't start at all. I tried that last week with LG TV emby client (without premiere back then). That was the main reason I rolled back to stable.

[softworkz 3335]

AFAIK, there's a known problem on FreeBSD which is also why there's no .19 yet.

@Luke right?

[softworkz 3335]

Beta .19 is available for FreeBSD 13 now: https://emby.media/freebsd-server.html
(this beta doesn't include the mentioned fix, though)

Cool, is the fix planned for .20 then?

Yup, it's already committed for .20!

[jamclucas 0]

already waiting for the fix, im ussing truenas 12 but no hardware transcoding, my hardware is detected but not shown.

[dcol 165]

I gave up on porting Emby to TrueNAS Core v12 due to all the limitations a while ago. I will revisit when all these 'issues' are resolved and Hardware Acceleration is working OOB. It would be a great advantage since it would require one less computer.

[Luke 37049]

For those who run the beta builds, how does 4.7.0.20 compare?

As you promised indeed it's fixed. I can see the devices and I managed to do hw transcoding on one f my movies. I will do more testing as it seems it fails after few tries. Stay tuned.

Thanks for the feedback !

[softworkz 3335]

@ all - please let us know whether it's working for you now!

Thanks.

tried to install emby 4.7.0.32 from port. it seems still not able to transcode media by default.

the sys.xz is still need? I've not tried yet.

Hi, what exactly do you mean?

[bbartlomiej 5]

As far as I know, you still need to unpac the sys.xz archive you can find in this thread to fool ffdetect to find your GPU.

On another note: Is anybody successfully using Nvidia GPUs with Emby and FreeBSD to hardware transcode? And on top of that - would the steps be similar to run it in a jail?

Just bought a Quadro P400 to help with transcoding.

OK that is most likely still the same.
