GTX 1060: Hardware decoding and ecoding fail for HEVC/4K

[Veggav 8]

I'm having a hard time to understand why the GTX 1060 on my Unraid server can be utilized for transcoding 1080p content but fail with HEVC 4K content.

 

The gpu does support hardware transcoding of HEVC content.

It shows under the advanced settings in the transcoding emby menu. 

 

This is the log for the server:

This is the log for the transcoding:

Hi there, did you follow our hardware acceleration setup guide?

Hi Luke,

 

I've followed this video

Since it focus on Unraid. 

 

And I red this link you posted but there's not much of a step by step instruction inside the linux portion of nvidia it just says to install the drivers.

And did you do that?

[Veggav 8]

Yes, 440.44 installed here. 

 

I guess this is caused by 10bit video not being correctly identified by Emby or something.

I understand that hdr metadata won't be tonemapped but this doesn't explain why it's not transcoding. 

 

I installed Plex (and got a month of plex pass) just for a quick test and it transcodes the same videos as emby is failing. 

 

Maybe the logs I posted above could give some clue to why this is happening?
