Intel Quicksync on Unraid not working

[jwiese997 0]

I cannot get emby to hardware transcode for anything on unraid. I've got everything configured correctly as far as I can tell. Hardware transcoding is working absolutely fine on Plex but emby keeps going to software and doesn't even list quicksync as an option when I go to advanced under transcoding. I've changed my go file, I've added the /dev/dri in the extra parameters. Quicksync is enabled and is being used in plex. Why not emby? Thanks for any help.

What CPU are you running? The current drivers included with unRaid don't fully support Coffee Lake CPUs. You can try this if you haven't already

I have a 7th gen Kaby Lake, i7-7700. I'll check out those steps when I get home and post results.

Might be worth stopping the Plex container too if it is also running. Not sure if multiple containers can share the same GPU and Plex may be preventing Emby from accessing it.

No luck. I made sure the syslinux.cfg was updated, the go file was updated, plex wasn't started. I'm completely stumped.

I'm also having similar trouble. I'm running an Intel i7-8700k updated both syslinux.cfg and go file.

Is that docker on unraid?

[jluna001 0]

Yes, I'm running the official emby docker container on unRAID version 6.7.2

Ok, hardware acceleration in Docker is currently only experimental. You can get it to work, but it will require setup on your part and we don't have full documentation on this process yet.
