NephilimDM 0 Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) Hi solabc16, First of all, good job! I only have one small remark about the quality of conversion with VAAPI acceleration enabled. There are a lot of blocks (big blocks!) in scene changes with quality setting 720p 1Mbps or 480p 720kbps (yes I know very bad internet connection). Any suggestion? Bye, Nephilim Edited October 19, 2016 by NephilimDM
Vlaves 2 Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Hello All Release 3.0.8200.0-1 has been published today for Synology/XPEnology, which includes experimental support for VA API h/w transcoding on 'braswell' based machines. Many thanks to @@stratumorien, @@moulin and @@newb for working through this with us. Please let us know how you get on and post any comments or queries here. This is a new feature, hence comes with the tag 'experimental' and I'm sure we'll need to work through and refine a few things along the way. - James Wow awsome so this should work with a braswell CPU like the Intel Celeron N3150 with XPEnology? Regarding settings, I leave VAAPI device like "/dev/dri/card0" and ffmpeg is left to use the own version. Then I should get hardware transcoding, right?
solabc16 379 Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Hello @@Vlaves Unfortunately, it's not as straight forward as that. XPEnology is derived from the version of DSM used on the DS3615xs, which did not support h/w transcoding. For that reason, it's unlikely that the necessary support will be in the kernel. Do you currently have XPEnology running on an N3150? If so, can you run the diagnostics and send logs utilities mentioned here and I can take a closer look: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/40411-xpenology-users-read-me/?p=377703 - James

Yes I run currently XPEnology on a ASROCK N3150 mini-ITX Board with 8GB of RAM. Hope the logs will help. they just got send. Filename is "sendlogs_Heimserver_synology_bromolow_3615xs_20161020T092925UTC.tgz" Hope the name is enough as it seems I can't upload the log file itself here. Thanks again for the support Hope this can be done on XPEnology too Vlaves

xxJonoxx 4 Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 Hello, Sorry, dont want to be high jacking a thread here, did a few searches but couldnt find anything. But with this latest update, are we able to enable hardware transcoding on the DS214play model? or is that still buggy? Sorry, I tried to follow the thread, but a lot of it was over my head.
solabc16 379 Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 Hello @@xxJonoxx No problem, it's all related. We've only tested on the 'braswell' based machines so far and I was about to put a message out asking if anybody with an 'evansport' (DS214play, DS415play) based machine would like to test. If possible, could you run the diagnostics and send logs utilities, details below? >> Diagnostics: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Synology-:-How-to-Run-Diagnostics >> Send Logs : https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Synology-:-How-to-Send-us-Support-Logs No need to post the output here, just the file reference the send logs utility will give you.
