Transcoding on Intel NUC6CPYH - mukkematti - 2023-11-05

Hello Forum,

I want to use the transconding feature on my new Jellyfin Install.
It is running on the official Jellyfin Docker. When I try start playing some media in my browser (playing in my browser for testing reasons), the player is just buffering, but nothing happens.

This is my Hardware:
Intel NUC5CPYH
CPU: Intel Celeron N3060
RAM: 8GB
GPU (therefore): Intel HD Graphics 400


After this site my CPU supports decoding and encoding H.264 and AVC. My media is mostly H.265 so I thought I can let my CPU decode the H.265-Video and the GPU encode it in H.264 when transcoding, but the player just buffers.

Here is my FFmpeg-Log
and here is my Jellyfin-Log.

My Transcoding-Settings look like this:

I hope I provided all, that I can gather any help.

I think the N3060 is too old. The problem, IIRC, is that Intel's media driver no longer supports QSV in Braswell

N3060 is quite old. I also have one running Synology DSM 7 with VAAPI. The hardware acceleration transcode process is still smooth but keep in mind that Braswell supports only:

H.264@4K > H.264
H.265 8bits > H.264

It is not able to do H.265 10bits > H.264.

Nowadays, most HEVC are 10bit H.265
