popy 61 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Hey guys. Currently running Emby Server on an rather old i5-3470T with 16GB of DDR3 Ram. Here is the Link to the CPU: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/de/de/ark/products/65703/intel-core-i5-3470t-processor-3m-cache-up-to-3-60-ghz.html It supports Intel Quicksync. How can i check if Emby is using HW Acceleration? Which Hardware (Mini ITX Mainboard + CPU) is recommended to use HW Accel. Transcoding of FullHD Content (1080p)? Intel/AMD or dedicated GPU? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can check your server dashboard while transcoding: If you see those green badges, it's hw transcoding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popy 61 Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 Thx for the hint. I think found the issue after checking logs and search google. I am running Emby Server with FireDaemon as a windows Service and it was setup to run as "LocalSystem" User. With this User (Also named Session 0 environment) HW acceleration is not possible. Have found this in the logs when i have manually started Emby with my user: 2021-05-15 17:52:28.226 Info QuickSyncCodecProvider: ProcessRun 'ffdetect_qsvencdec' Execute: C:\Users\whs_admin\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system\ffdetect.exe -hide_banner -show_program_version -loglevel 48 -show_error -show_log 40 qsvencdec -print_format json -disable_dx11 2021-05-15 17:52:28.773 Info QuickSyncCodecProvider: ProcessRun 'ffdetect_qsvencdec' Process exited with code 0 2021-05-15 17:52:28.858 Info QuickSyncCodecProvider: Adapter #0: 'Intel(R) HD Graphics' Id:338 (Driver: 655378.659718, Vendor: 32902, SDK Version: 1.11) And the last line was missing when it was run as "LocalSystem". Changed FireDaemon now to run it as my User and ffmpeg now has 0% cpu oad, yippie. Here is an command which can be used (and will be used by emby to check if any quicksync encoders are found: C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system\ffdetect.exe -hide_banner -show_program_version -loglevel 48 -show_error -show_log 40 qsvencdec -print_format json -disable_dx11 > qs_service.txt There should be at least one Device, the outpur when working is: { "ProgramVersion": { "Version": "4.3.0-emby_2021_02_27-g8f222573e9+634", "Copyright": "Copyright (c) 2018-2021 softworkz for Emby Llc", "Compiler": "gcc 9.2.0 (Rev2, Built by MSYS2 project)", "Configuration": " --enable-amf --enable-bzlib --enable-cuvid --enable-d3d11va --enable-dxva2 --enable-iconv --enable-lzma --enable-nvenc --enable-zlib --disable-sdl2 --disable-debug --enable-ffnvcodec --enable-nvdec --enable-cuda-llvm --disable-cuda-nvcc --enable-gmp --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopus --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 --enable-libdav1d --enable-fontconfig --enable-libass --enable-libbluray --enable-libfreetype --enable-libmfx --enable-libmysofa --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-libopenjpeg --enable-libsnappy --enable-libsoxr --enable-libspeex --enable-libtheora --enable-libtwolame --enable-libvidstab --enable-libvo-amrwbenc --enable-libwavpack --enable-libwebp --enable-libzimg --enable-libshine --enable-gpl --enable-avisynth --enable-libxvid --enable-libaom --enable-version3 --enable-libzvbi --enable-opencl --enable-gnutls --extra-cflags=-DLIBTWOLAME_STATIC --extra-libs=-lstdc++" }, "Devices": [ { "DeviceIndex": 0, "DeviceInfo": { "DeviceName": "\\\\.\\DISPLAY193", "DirectXType": "DX9", "Description": "Intel(R) HD Graphics", "Driver": "igdumdim64.dll", "DeviceId": 338, "VendorId": 32902, "DriverVersionMajor": 655378, "DriverVersionMinor": 659718, "SubSysId": 2227834947, "DeviceGuid": "{d7b78e66-4212-11cf-f562-c0a4b4c2c735}", "ApiVersionMajor": 1, "ApiVersionMinor": 11 }, "Decoders": [ { "CodecName": "mpeg2video", "CodecId": 843534413, "MinWidth": 1, "MinHeight": 1, "MaxWidth": 4096, "MaxHeight": 4096, "WidthAlignment": 16, "HeightAlignment": 16, "Profiles": [ { "ProfileId": 80, "ProfileName": "MFX_PROFILE_MPEG2_SIMPLE" }, { "ProfileId": 64, "ProfileName": "MFX_PROFILE_MPEG2_MAIN" }, { "ProfileId": 16, "ProfileName": "MFX_PROFILE_MPEG2_HIGH" } ] }, { "CodecName": "vc1", "CodecId": 540099414, "MinWidth": 16, "MinHeight": 16, "MaxWidth": 16384, "MaxHeight": 16384, "WidthAlignment": 16, "HeightAlignment": 16, "Profiles": [ { "ProfileId": 1, "ProfileName": "MFX_PROFILE_VC1_SIMPLE" }, { "ProfileId": 5, "ProfileName": "MFX_PROFILE_VC1_MAIN" }, { "ProfileId": 13, "ProfileName": "MFX_PROFILE_VC1_ADVANCED" } ] }, { "CodecName": "h264", "CodecId": 541283905, "MinWidth": 16, "MinHeight": 16, "MaxWidth": 16384, "MaxHeight": 16384, "WidthAlignment": 16, "HeightAlignment": 16, "Profiles": [ { "ProfileId": 66, "ProfileName": "MFX_PROFILE_AVC_BASELINE" }, { "ProfileId": 77, "ProfileName": "MFX_PROFILE_AVC_MAIN" }, { "ProfileId": 88, "ProfileName": "MFX_PROFILE_AVC_EXTENDED" }, { "ProfileId": 100, "ProfileName": "MFX_PROFILE_AVC_HIGH" } ] } ], "Encoders": [ { "CodecName": "h264", "CodecId": 541283905, "MinWidth": 32, "MinHeight": 32, "WidthAlignment": 16, "HeightAlignment": 16, "MaxWidth": 8192, "MaxHeight": 8192, "Profiles": [ { "ProfileId": 66, "ProfileName": "MFX_PROFILE_AVC_BASELINE" }, { "ProfileId": 77, "ProfileName": "MFX_PROFILE_AVC_MAIN" }, { "ProfileId": 100, "ProfileName": "MFX_PROFILE_AVC_HIGH" }, { "ProfileId": 578, "ProfileName": "MFX_PROFILE_AVC_CONSTRAINED_BASELINE" }, { "ProfileId": 12388, "ProfileName": "MFX_PROFILE_AVC_CONSTRAINED_HIGH" }, { "ProfileId": 4196, "ProfileName": "MFX_PROFILE_AVC_PROGRESSIVE_HIGH" } ] } ] }, { "DeviceIndex": 1, "DeviceInfo": { }, "Error": { "Number": -3, "Message": "Error initializing an MFX session: MFX_ERR_UNSUPPORTED" } }, { "DeviceIndex": 2, "DeviceInfo": { }, "Error": { "Number": -3, "Message": "Error initializing an MFX session: MFX_ERR_UNSUPPORTED" } }, { "DeviceIndex": 3, "DeviceInfo": { }, "Error": { "Number": -3, "Message": "Error initializing an MFX session: MFX_ERR_UNSUPPORTED" } } ], "Log": [ { "Level": 40, "Category": 0, "Message": "Initialize MFX session: API version is 1.34, implementation version is 1.11" }, { "Level": 40, "Category": 0, "Message": "AddDecoderProfiles -
