Emby GPU Transconding

[pabloalcantara]

Hi,
Have any one have success in running Emby with GPU transcoding (NVIDIA GPU) on Scale 22.02 Release?

I use docker-compose, not apps, but it works fine for me. SCALE comes with both nvidia drivers (460.91) and the nvidia-docker packages pre-installed so all you have to do is make sure the container can see it.

If you are using apps I know the Truecharts release for Emby has GPU support, I believe you can also add the GPU in if you use "launch docker". I don't use either though.

I´m using the TrueCharts Version.. But Emby can´t see the gpu, and when transcoding, my cpu use goes HI. So, the GPU is not doing the transcoding.

Open a shell (System>Shell in menu) and type nvidia-smi. What is the output?

I have the same problem. GPU is found when executing `nvidia-smi` but can't select it in apps.

Anybody have any luck with this? my CPU is struggling with 4K playback, so thinking about ordering this to see if I can get the GPU to do the heavy lifting.

If you could put the transcoding working (until today it didn´t work for me on emby in truenas), any nvidia gpu will work, mine is an Gt 710, and the transcoding works perfectly on windows.

Not worth experimenting if it doesn't work, I've moved Emby over to my gaming rig now, the RX6700XT is cranking out the 4k hevc stuff just fine.

I took a gamble and added the GTX1650, it is transcoding like a charm, just a shame the emby android client doesn't understand my reverse proxy now.
