Intel® Core™ i9-13900 and HW encoing

[grahamcoyswanst 2]

Hey, how do I set up the Intel® Core™ i9-13900 to HW encode, please?

Im running debian 12

 

Thank you

Hi, what version of the server are you on? You may need the 4.8 beta server for the latest intel hardware.

This one emby-server-deb_4.8.0.53_amd64.deb

But make sure in your Repo apt sources list non-free-firmware is activated and have installed the intel drivers for the iGPU

Best Regards

[grahamcoyswanst 2]

Installed it but i only see this

 

 

[grahamcoyswanst 2]

thank you will do that

Check the Drivers

with

sudo lspci -v -s $(lspci | grep VGA | cut -d" " -f 1) < this shows you if the kernel drivers are active of the iGPU

for smaller Output you can use

ls -la /dev/dri

and you need an active Premiere Subscription

iGPU is Running and Verfified so it must work now. Even Remind HW Transcoding need a Premiere Subscription

[grahamcoyswanst 2]

hey, yes i have a premiere account with Emby but as before they not showing up on the dash in Emby.

 

 

[croaton 9]

Server Restartet?

Runs Emby under Root? if no you must emby grant access to the iPGU

Best Regards

 

[grahamcoyswanst 2]

The server was restarted but emby does not run under root so this will be the issue. Im not the most clued-up person with all this, is there an easy fix

 

Thanks mate

[Q-Droid 989]

Attach the most recent hardware detection log.

You might need to check that the runtime user for the emby server (usually emby) also has the video and render supplementary groups. 

If the user is emby then "id emby" would show the details. If either is missing then add them to emby.

 

[grahamcoyswanst 2]

here you go mate thank you

[Q-Droid 989]

Is OS user emby running the server? Did you check to see if emby has the render group?

 

[grahamcoyswanst 2]

Emby doesn't have access to the render group and would you be able to tell me how to do that, please?

[Q-Droid 989]

sudo usermod -a -G render emby

Should restart Emby server after adding the group.

TIP:

You can also do the same with the following command (it’s easier for me to remember, instead of remembering the the switches for userrmod) 

sudo adduser emby render

== add user emby to render group

@grahamcoyswanstwere you able to get it working? Some good tips above! It took me a long time to realize I needed to run the beta server to get this working. It's so frustrating that this hasn't made it to the stable release yet for 12th gen and newer intel chips. Intel announced the release of the 14th gen today and we're still waiting for this.... Plex and JF have it in their stable releases for a while now.... and it kills me to have to run a beta to do something like HW transcoding on a 2 year old chip. Hopefully it gets added to stable sooner than later or we at least get 4.8 some point soon. Sorry for the rant but it's something I've hoping for for a long time! 

[grahamcoyswanst 2]

sorry for no reply guys just got back from the hospital, and will get back to you

[grahamcoyswanst 2]

Hey so i did the above and its still not showing any hardware just the software. I restarted emby and also the server.

Is there anything else i could try or any info you need just tell me how to get it for you and ill sort it.

 

Sorry for the delay on this post I unexpectedly had to pop into the hospital for 3 days.

[Q-Droid 989]

Attach hardware detection log and embyserver log after restart.

Did you make sure emby user has both video and render groups? The emby user is running the server, right?

If you are on Debian 12 then the kernel should be 6.x and new enough for Raptor Lake, but still check for updates.

 

[grahamcoyswanst 2]

Hey i have attached the logs im going to look into the other stuff you said because I'm not sure but will find out.
