PaulJNodine 4 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Just wanted to let the community know how this $180usd nas works with Emby I have owned it for approximately 4 days and installed Emby server. According the QNAP product site this nas supports hardware transcoding of h264 files even though it has a Realtek processor not Intel. I can confirm that indeed hardware transcoding is supported as well as being able to play back 4K HDR video files. Only downside I can find so far is that the Emby package is unavailable through the QNAP app store so has to be installed manually and the security center gave a warning about the package not being digitally signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ginmare Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Hi @PaulJNodine, I'm also considering this one, but I'm a little bit confused on the transcoding, in your experience did it hardware transcode x265 (hevc) to eg 1080p x264, or didn't that work? Thanks a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulJNodine 4 Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 According to the product information hardware transcoding is for x264 files. Under emby transcoding options is ARM V4L2 H.264 (AVC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PodEvans 0 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 what are the transcoding stats? When you are transcoding the stats are in the server dashboard. ie: Transcoding (22 fps)\ 845 kbps H264 MP3 I do not know anything about the transcoding efforts.......but I know it depends on the CPU. I also am not sure if transcoding depends on the filetype. Was just considering this Qnap NAS.........over my current one. Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be different installers. Bit beyond me. I have the same NAS, only had it for a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This NAS has a Realtek Quadcore cpu and transcoding works on H264 files. I have seen transcoding on both mp4 and mkv files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
