wintersport 0 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Hi there, I got a server with the following specs where i run Emby on: CPU: 2x Intel® Xeon® CPU E5-2620 v3 @ 2.40GHz RAM: 64GB Storage: 2TB SSD Storage But it doesnt have any hardware acceleration options. So i would like to find a way to put my spare GTX1050Ti GPU inside my Dell R630. Is this possible or am i just crazy thinking this? The server is 1U so i dont think there will be room for it, but maybe knows a way to use it. i saw Linus Tech Tips use some PCIe extender thingies, maybe that will work? I hope someone can help me find a solution. Kind regrads, Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRobi 159 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Sorry, I can't be much help here. My server is a Supermicro and I've never experimented with a graphics card in it. Typically a full sized graphics card won't fit in a 1u server although I have have heard of cards that fit which also turn the slot 90 degrees so theoretically it would be possible.

Graxo 0 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Hi there, First of all, this is my main account, the other one was my test/work account. Where to start First i installed my GTX Geforce 1050 Ti in my Dell R630. After some modification to the chassis it would fit in. Then booting the server and the driver party began.. long story short. Doesnt work.. Geforce and VMWare doesnt work smoothly on a Linux vm... So i bought (with my eyes closed) a Quardo P2000, replaced it with the 1050Ti, selected it in VMWare and BOOM! Works!. I can add the GPU to my specs list now CPU: 2x Intel® Xeon® CPU E5-2620 v3 @ 2.40GHz RAM: 64GB Storage: 2TB SSD Storage GPU: Nvidia Quardo P2000 OS: VMWare Esxi 6.7 Update 1 Let the encoding begin.

Graxo 0 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Have you explored the server dashboard while playing content? Mate, really? Ofc... but im not watching that 24/7... I need something that i can look back at later. Have a look at the Playback Reporting plugin. Only starts monitoring from the time installed. I have that one installed, havent looked into it that much yet, But if it can show what played and if it Direct Play or Trancecoded is, then my request is forfilled .

Guest asrequested Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Open the plugin, click Playback tab, then click the chart and scrolldown to see user playback sessions on that specific day. Unfortunately, it only uses direct stream and not direct play. So it's inaccurate. I never direct stream anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8216 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Unfortunately, it only uses direct stream and not direct play. So it's inaccurate. I never direct stream anything. True but it is the only plugin that shows a history of playback method (directstream or transcode). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy 735 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I'm hard of hearing and sometimes, even with Closed Captions, I need to skip back to understand what was said; more often then that though, is the constant interruptions in our home with whatever and whomever coming or going or calling or whatnot so being able to pause is a necessity..

I remember what it was like with a house full of people, with a wife and kids that would interrupt. But Theater still direct plays when skipping back. But it doesn't work very well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
