Intel gpu transcode on unraid

[furnibird 7]

Hi All

I have been using unraid and emby now for about 20 days now. I had only just released I have been software transcoding. I had installed the Intel app however I hadn't set this in the docker. Once I set this to hardware my 4k movie doesn't start or takes forever. I know it's an old pc but it works fine for my 6 uses. I thought switching to hardware would be better but it is not.

What does your Emby dashboard say is happening during transcoding? 

Obvious follow up question, do you have an active Premiere subscription for the hardware transcoding?

Yes I have a lifetime license.

I have turned the transcoding off for 4k as it would just sit there. After searching, my CPU is no good for anything over HD. I don't have much 4k stuff and only have one tv that is 1080p the rest are fine. Streaming 4k movie with no HW is spiking the CPU. I do have an old nvdia 980t. However I don't that will make much improvement. Plus I want the pci slot for more sata in the future.
