sbadie1 1 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 So I am building my own personal server. Specs are: motherboard: X10SRL-f CPU. E5-1620v3 RAM- 32gb ram ECC x2 16gb sticks x2 120gb SSD card to hold OS Noctura NH-U9Dx i4 CPU cooler. P2000 CPU(?) I am wanting to know if I can do a few things. I want to know if its worth buying the p2000 GPU to help transcode .265hevc and 4k files. My CPU does not have a built in GPU so no quicksync for me. Is this possible on linux using EMBY (how easy is it to set up?)? Also not sure if this is the right forum but can I use ZFS for raidz2 for my HDD?

Luke 37250 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Hi, yes this is possible. Our hardware acceleration wiki goes over what you need, which in many cases is just a matter of installing the latest graphics drivers: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Hardware-Acceleration-Overview Please let us know if this helps. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a GTX 1060 with great success in trancoding x265. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbadie1 1 Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 depending on how many transcodes you require - the p2000 might even be overkill. I use a GTX 1060 with great success in trancoding x265. Probably like 1 or 2 at a time. If that. Most of the time I'll either be using it at home or at work. Sometimes will be using it overseas.

sbadie1 1 Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 are there any plans to make both encoding and decoding available for H.265 (HEVC)? I see that it is listed only under decoding, along with a lot of other file types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37250 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Yes, please see this topic: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/48529-transcode-in-h265/ Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbadie1 1 Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) Yes, please see this topic: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/48529-transcode-in-h265/ Thanks. So not sure if I am being obtuse or not. As of right now from reading that link it is currently not supported for decoding just encoding, but you are currently working on it? Or it is currently supported? Again this is using a Quadro P2000 for transcoding. Edited March 17, 2019 by sbadie1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37250 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 If you want to encode to h265, that is an existing feature request you can lend your support to. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
