Hardware Transcoding Intel 13th Gen (Unraid + Docker)

[n4pl 2]

Hey,

i replaced my i5-7600 Unraid rig against a i9-13900. I struggled for the HW-Transcoding in Emby now for days and thought its a unraid issue. But now i installed jellyfin and it worked out of the box with VAAPI and QSV... Emby doesnt support 13th Gen actualy?

Thanks!

It's getting closer.

hey Q-Droid,

loaded Beta and it work instantly without "priviliged" or anything... well  

So i wait for stable/latest... hope it will released soon.

Thank you!

ok nvm... it showed up in backend but didnt work... mhh

Didn't work as in transcoding failed and fell back to software?

I don't use Unraid so I don't know what @SirJMD meant by adding /dev/dri as a "host device".

Raptor Lake needs a fairly new kernel but if it was working with JF ffmpeg then it should be recent enough.

So finaly it works... @SirJMDmeans to give the Emby (Docker Container) access to the iGPU. It works now flawless. So beta did the trick, i was missing to switch over all to QSV.

Yep. For some reason adding --device=/dev/dri:/dev/dri to "additional requirements" doesn't work, but adding /dev/dri as a "host device" does, eventho those two methods should yield the same result.

Yep, because u have to do that under "Extra Parameters"

any update on when 13th gen will be supported without having to use a bata branch

[Q-Droid 989]

There's no date for when current beta is promoted to stable.

Hi, there's no ETA but we're working very hard on it.

Any updates on this being promoted to stable?

[Luke 42078]

Very soon.

Hi @LukeI had not realized that hardware transcoding was not working when I switched to Emby. I think content plays natively better than it did in plex. It looks like hardware transcoding for 13th gen intel has been working for a while in the beta and I just upgraded my container and verified it works. I am concerned about stability however. I know you wrote very soon in the reply above but v4.8 just released recently. Can you give us a better idea of where it in is the release schedule? Thanks.

Hi. The Docker release is coming. Apologies for the delay.

Thanks for release.. i came from beta to 4.8.0.80 stable and transcoding was working very well but with the new latest (4.8.0.80) version it doesnt... did i missed anything?

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

nvm.. sorry Luke.. i have a ASUS PRO WS W680-ACE IPMI... and the IPMI Card disables the iGPU after BIOS Update... so its not a Emby issue... my renderD128 is gone...

I think everything is fine  i have to fix this

Thanks so much. I moved to the stable release this morning and I tested transcoding and it seems to be using the intel GPU.
