Emby doesn't detect hardware acceleration on Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-N305

[masterabc 1]

I build a truenas system  ElectricEel-24.10.0.2  with this processor i3-n305

I purchased emby premiere for one month.
Emby still doesn't detect any hardware acceleration.

However, if I connect to a shell in the emby container and run vainfo it detects many profiles.

What I can do?

Some additions:

Container is running as root and the container has the device configuratio:

Devices:[

{

CgroupPermissions:"rwm",

PathInContainer:"/dev/dri",

PathOnHost:"/dev/dri"

}

@masterabc - Can you please post the hw detection log?

Just as a note: The detection is not dependant on a Premiere subscription, just the use of HWA when transcoding.

Here's the hw detection log

Thanks, so it seems that it cannot open the device:

 

Under which user account is Emby server running?

You can check the owner of the hw detection log on disk for example to see this.

In the container it's owner 568:  apps.

Then I gave apps the groups video and render in the truenas os outside of the container. But still no success in accessing the device.

How about inside the container? Doesn't it need those permissions inside the container rather than outside?

And I'm not sure whether "apps" is the right user. Unfortunately I'm not the right one to help as I'm not familiar with TrueNAS and our package for it.

@alucryd- Can you help?

Actually its a problem of the container definition. I rolled back to the app version 1.1.16, there it works.

Later versions are broken. So it's not an emby problem.

Who creates the emby app container for truenas scale ee? A truenas team?

My workaround is using the older version, but of course someone should fix that flaw.

@masterabcWhich chart did you use? The official chart does not offer a 1.1.16 version, last 1.x was 1.0.30 and current version is 2.0.13. HW accel works out of the box here using the official chart.

Truenas scale electric eel doesn't use charts and kubernetes anymore. Now docker images are used.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll need to try the latest version of TrueNas then. I don't know which docker image they use, nor how they use it.

It is solved now. I wrote in the truenas forum and there I did create a bug report.

Somebody from the truenas team did  solve the bug already. The next version 1.2.5 will have that fix.

[softworkz 5066]

Great to hear that! And thanks a lot for letting us know.

Confirmed, Intel is detected in version 1.2.5.
