DS118 hw transcoding

[max.scali 0]

Anyone out there knows if hw transcoding is supported on Synology DS118?

CPU works around 90% when transcoding with no hw transcoding option active, so I'm wondering if Emby can use the internal hw transcoding engine of this NAS, in order to reduce CPU usage.

Thank you

hi @@max.scali, unfortunately Synology is not exposing this for other apps to utilize.

Did you try VAAPI? It works fine on my DS918+ Edited February 20, 2018 by Everbrave

Vaapi is not supported in the ds118

Right, I now realize the DS118 has a Realtek CPU, sorry.

I just found this thread. Do I assume correctly that there is no way either to use HW Transcoding on my DS 218play?

Thanks for answering!

What GPU does it have?

rtd1296, the same as the DS118
