GTsitouridis 2 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I am trying to enable HW transcoding on emby running natively on RPi 4. But I am always getting Software -> Software. I am trying to stream live TV coming from tvheadend, running on the same RPi. Any suggestion on what I need to check? Thank you Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 26174 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Hi there, did you follow our hardware acceleration setup guide? https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001160148-hardware-acceleration-overview Link to post Share on other sites

The document is not a guide rather a specification list and based on that I should be having HW Transcoding. Since I do not, I guess that I may have not done something. My understanding is that I should be going for VA API, but how can I enable it? Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 26174 Posted Sunday at 07:07 PM Share Posted Sunday at 07:07 PM I would just select Yes for hardware transcoding in emby server transcoding settings. If you don't think you're getting hardware transcoding, then let's look at an example: Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
GTsitouridis 2 Posted Sunday at 08:34 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 08:34 PM When I select simply "YES" then I get playback as Software - Software When I select "Advanced" transcoding, there is nothing checked, so I go about and check them all myself, with kind of partially HW transcoding.

Luke 26174 Posted Sunday at 08:38 PM Share Posted Sunday at 08:38 PM OK, let's look at an example then. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
GTsitouridis 2 Posted Sunday at 09:00 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 09:00 PM Well.... both cases not great. Image quality is ok, but not very sharp.... its a bit smooth. Biggest problem is that in both cases playback freezes for a couple of second every few seconds. That is SW That is semi HW Link to post Share on other sites
