I spent way to many hours setting up a headless mac m1, autologin, autostart, nfs and all that. 

 

Just to find out that hw transcoding on a apple m1 isnt a thing obviosly?

I select hw transcoding in the server settings, and choose videotoolbox and all that. But not a single video is using the gpu/hw. It's all cpu.
Anyone got this working?

Apple Silicon does support hardware video encoding/decoding through VideoToolbox, so it should work in the right setup. I’d check the Emby server logs to see if VideoToolbox is actually being called, and make sure you’re using a native ARM build rather than running through Rosetta. Some codecs also won’t trigger hardware acceleration.
