@sa2000 Is the development team aware of the artifacting resulting from using hardware acceleration transcoding with integrated intel graphics? I have a bunch of anime content that has subtitles. With the the TVDB scraping set to stop working as of 1/31, this has forced me to upgrade to v1.18.4.2171…

nuc7i5bnh After a simple test, the picture quality of this version of hardware transcoding is equivalent to 95-99% of the hardware transcoding quality of version 1.17. Very few videos have subtle patches visible to the naked eye. after such a long wait, at least I can accept this. Thanks to the de…

Lol, was this being worked on for the ~year it was a bug? Cause the day after @elan pinged it to the other engineers it was fixed. Jokes aside, thank you!

No. We were having trouble scheduling the work. Trust me, I’m frustrated too.

@elan kind of off topic, but are applications expected to open up for interns for next summer/spring? I’d like to get in on that work that needs scheduling :blush:

Honestly not 100% sure; times are … different. But I’d still encourage you to get in touch, we love seeing talented people :slight_smile:

The new alpha build seems to be working much better than before. I can see improvement in the movies, but there are still intermittent choppiness. Unfortunately, even with the improvement, it still seems like JellyFin’s hardware acceleration is churning out much cleaner quality without sacrificing m…

thanks for the ping. It’s been a long time indeed. I’ll leave the testing to those with more time and will wait for the Beta.

I haven’t run into any choppiness that @T_Le was running into. The only “problem” that I can see so far is SOME of the blockiness when going into low bitrate 480p. It’s only a little worse at those levels compared to software transcoding, but I don’t need transcode anything lower than 720p 4mbps fo…

thanks to @Ridley for figuring out the issue and fixing it :sweat_smile:
