Looking to understand how to chose the best hardware acceleration settings - the-bort-the - 2024-02-11
Looking to understand which settings I should chose for the hardware acceleration on my Beelink server. I have everything up and running (using docker-compose, see .yml), but am just unsure if I'm supposed to pick low power, QSV, or VA-API. I'm also not sure about which codecs to have enabled versus disabled. I have provided as much detail below after having went through the Intel hardware-acceleration docs. Is my assumption that it appears to be VA-API? I have tried first with QSV and brought down the bitrate to 1.5 Mbps and saw the output of intel_gpu_top change (screenshot attached). Just not sure how to pick the optimal settings or what makes most sense.

Use this table to figure out which codec boxes to check.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video#Hardware_decoding_and_encoding
Low power encoding is optional for Alder Lake, but recommended.
https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/intel/#lp-mode-hardware-support
Other than that, leave the rest of Jellyfin's transcode settings as is.
