Emby Transcode with onboard Intel GPU

[imjustleaving 2]

hi all.

i have a standard emby server (with premiere activated) running in docker/portainer. my hardware is an intel i3 10-105 which has the UHD630 iGPU onboard. when i am watching something which requires transcoding, i am not seeing the hardware transcode icon (which i have enabled in the settings). is there something that needs to go in the compose file to get this working?

version: "2.1"
services:
  emby:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/emby:latest
    container_name: emby
    environment:
      - UID=568
      - GID=568
      - TZ=America/New_York
    devices:
      - /dev/dri:/dev/dri
    volumes:
      - /configs/emby:/config
      - /media:/media
    ports:
      - 8096:8096 # HTTP port
      - 8920:8920 # HTTPS port

    restart: unless-stopped

Will need to see server (startup log after hardware detection)/hardware detection/ffmpeg log for specific example.

Hi, do you have Emby Premiere? Are you able to try the official Emby docker container for comparison purposes?

I do have a premiere subscription activated. I switched to the official container and i still cannot transcode.

Hi, can you please provide a log example from  that? Thanks!

[imjustleaving 2]

the logs were from that instance i believe. this is the compose file being used for it:
 

version: "2.3"
services:
  emby:
    image: emby/embyserver
    container_name: emby
    environment:
      - UID=568
      - GID=568
      - GIDLIST=44,109,1000,226,0

    volumes:
      - /configs/emby:/config
      - /media:/media
    ports:
      - 8096:8096 # HTTP port
      - 8920:8920 # HTTPS port
    devices:
      - /dev/dri:/dev/dri # VAAPI/NVDEC/NVENC render nodes

    restart: unless-stopped

Is this only an issue with Dolby Vision content?

Are you running this in a VM?

[yocker 1247]

Have you set up hardware transcoding on the server in the Emby app? Looks to me you have missed that step.

[imjustleaving 2]

@Lukeit is an issue with all content

@Q-DroidI am running this in a VM. this is an ubuntu server VM running on TrueNAS Scale Dragonfish-24.04.1.1

@yockeri have indeed setup hardware transcoding.

[yocker 1247]

Okay sorry, then this is beyond my knowledge as I've never messed with VMs much.  All i can think of is if you have passed through the igpu right.

Then you need to configure device pass through to the VM so that both ubuntu and Emby can identify and use the Intel iGPU. 

[imjustleaving 2]

@Q-Droidsince this is the onboard GPU shouldnt it be passed thru already? do i have to isolate it in truenas the get the passthru to work?

[Q-Droid 989]

I don't think so and it should also explain why ubuntu and Emby identify a virtual graphics device instead of the Intel iGPU.
