Any update on hardware (Nvidia) transcoding support on ARM64 platforms?

[WayneZ 0]

Hello, 

I noticed the  hardware transcoding on arm64 CPU isn't supported yet based on https://emby.media/support/articles/apps/linux/Emby-Linux-Platform-Support.html. Then in November 2025, 

 mentioned the support will be ready soon on the beta channel.

Is there any update given 6 months have passed?

Best wishes,

Hi, have you tried it?

Yes, I tried the docker image lscr.io/linuxserver/emby:latest. The hardware acceleration isn't showing up in emby.

With the help of Gemini CLI, I build ffmpeg for arm64 and installed it to the docker image I was very closed to get the hardware acceleration working. However the ffdetect is a private binary that I cannot build it for arm64 myself. It seems to be the last missing piece to get the support working.

@WayneZCan you try our official Docker container instead?
