Specify graphics card

[Jason'sEmby 29]

Is there a way to specify for the system to only use a specific graphics card for live TV transcoding and a specific graphics card for everything else? Example live TV can only use the 1070 and any movies or TV shows that transcodes can use the 3080? Reason why I want to do this is because if a movie plays while watching live TV it causes live TV to buffer. This is because the transcoder is just an off-and-on. So my solution was two graphics cards but I can't figure out how to set it up LOL. With the setup I have now I'm able to get Hardware decoding (3080)but software encoding when it comes to movies but uses a lot of CPU.

Hi, no there isn't, but down the road when we support load balancing with multiple gpu's then I would think you'll be able to.

is this still the case? Or can the current beta versions of emby load balance?

 

I am running 4.7.0.36.

Yes, correct.

Unless there is a response otherwise I am going to assume this means that as of now emby cannot yet load balance gpus.
