Did anything change in this version that would affect HW Transcoding? I’ve noticed my CPU usage is bucked at 100% all of a sudden when transcoding a 1080p file to 720p. I have a DS920+ running DSM 7.2 RC

Noting here for convenience (since it’s now waaaaay back in the thread) that the Celeron J4125 in the Synology DS920+ is a Gemini Lake CPU.

Its Gemini Lake Refresh though. I faced no issues with HW transcoding and Tone-Mapping with the recent builds on my J4125 rig. I only went back to i965 driver (sideloading and activating via Preferences.xml) because something around the iHD driver broke subtitle burning in realtime. Works fine wi…

havent heard of any refresh and transcoding not breaking. I have a 1520+ and any update after 6999 broke transcoding

Are there any official progress updates to get the Synology 920+ working with hardware transcoding like it used to?

this is the latest i am aware of. [image] PMS 1.32.6+ HW transcoding issues and corrections Desktops & Laptops @djfriday13 Yes, we know how to resolve this. (GeminiLake) There have been other fixes in the general transcoder (subtitles, etc) The work we need to comple…

I thank you all. I already had the i965 driver line in my preferences file from way back. But I did need to re-add and unpack the i965 driver back into the file system. Things are working as expected so far. Any other gotchas we might be looking at on the Synology 920+? [IMG_0367]

If I may update you all – We’ve been working on making this fix happen the right way. While I don’t know how safe it is for full “production” status (QA hasn’t blessed it yet) We have Apollo and Gemini Lake CPUs fully operational without need of any workarounds.

[image] ChuckPa: We have Apollo and Gemini Lake CPUs fully operational without need of any workarounds. Nice. Out of curiosity: Will the fix (automatically) use i965 again or did you somehow fix the iHD driver chain?

We reconfigured the transcoder and the drivers PMS downloads for the transcoder. The specifics are: APL & GLK → Use IVD instead of IMD. Sub-KBL → Use IVD instead of IMD IVD = Intel Video Driver == i965 IMD = Intel Media Driver Further testing of the JasperLake processors is needed to c…
