No AV1 Decode for HWA Nvidia+Docker?

[isamudaison 12]

I have an Nvidia A2000 12GB card (rtx 30 generation) which (according to Nvidia) supports AV1 *decode*. All other formats decode/encode as they should and they all show up in the Emby interface just fine (this is with the official Emby docker image). I don't see the AV1 codec as an option for decode, though (and can confirm it doesn't show up as an option in the hardware detect log). My question is this: Is this a limitation of the Docker Image, or the host driver version (I'm running 515 still as opposed to 525)?

Don't believe it has been added yet but devs will have to confirm.

Ok, I just wanted to make sure I didn't have something setup incorrectly. Thanks.

AV1 HW decoding is planned but not implemented yet. It's simply because at this time, just a very small percentage of Emby users would benefit from it, and when we would implement it in beta, there wouldn't be many who could test it and provide feedback. Then in turn, we would have something that is not sufficiently tested and decide what to do with it.

But this will change within the next year as more and more devices with that capability will be sold (both Nvidia and Intel), so it's not that far away I think.

UPDATE

The latest betas (since 4.8.0.29) support AV1 decoding 

• With QuickSync (Windows + Linux)
• With DX11VA (Windows)

AV1 decoding for Nvidia and VAAPI is planned to be added soon.

UPDATE 2

Beta 4.8.0.34 includes support for AV1 hw decoding with VAAPI and Nvidia. 

Please try this out!

Thanks

Hi, I report after a week. It work on uhd 770. In my other server (uhd630) it detect the iGPU as an av1 decoder in the settings page but in the log (when paying av1 stuff) says that uhd 630 is not capable which is normal. Maybe hiding hardware (in the settings page) that cant decode av1 could avoid confusion with multiple gpu configuration. Here an image of what shouldn't be here.

HI, most likely it is capable, but not for the specific file that you played. Can you please show an example?

Thanks.

@Ewillian9 - Please also include the hardware detection log.

Thanks

Very happy to see AV1 hardware decode capabilities hitting Emby  I don't have AV1 media right now and I would have been happier with AV1 hardware encode capabilities to switch from h264 to AV1. But like you said, too few people have the capable hardware so, we'll see in the future when it's added.
