Whitelabel 0 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Finally got emby working in my UnRaid and able to use HW transcoding. Im currently testing 4 streams at once. 3 streams with HW transcoding, but im noticing on my server that the CPU usage is pretty high. It averages 77% on an Intel 10100. Is that a normal usage? Or should i be seeing lower than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 well it tries to go as fast as it can unless you are using throttling and 80% load is not an issue load also depends on the input video type looks like the third transcode is struggling at only 16 fps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37063 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Even though the three transcodes are using hardware accelerated transcoding, they may still have parts of the process that require the CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelabel 0 Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 Yah i wouldve thought using Intel QS would be an upgrade when i was using my nVidia 1080 GTX for having multiple transcoding streams. Does Emby benefit using a higher core/thread count than what i have along with QuickSync? Granted, im happy that Transcoding is waaaayy faster in QS than my old 1080 GTX.

Solution Whitelabel 0 Posted January 28, 2021 Author Solution Share Posted January 28, 2021 1 hour ago, Luke said: Hi, what do you mean by higher than what you have? You know i actually answered my own question. I did 15 transcodes (12 chrome tabs, 2 android devices + Roku TV) simultaneously and the i3 10100 kept up very well. 100% pegged on all threads for the first 10 mins or so, then it finally settled down to 47% ish once all transcodes have settled down. Emby will benefit for more threads in the beginning, but once everything is settled down... there's no point in upgrading to more thread count. Thank you guys for being helpful.
