Hardware Transcoding doesn't work, AMD iGPU, Unraid - yannn - 2024-08-05

Hi guys,
I have AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE w/ Radeon Vega Graphics @ 3200 MHz.
Using Unraid, passing 2 devices dri/card0 and /renderD128 to the container. I use Docker from linuxserver (but tried others - same result)
  • So devices are passed
  • Unraid sees my GPU, radeontop shows stats - but no load
  • I chosen VAAPI in Jellyfin settings, with device /dev/dri/renderD128 
  • Hardware decoding is turned on for h264 + HEVC
  • Jellyfin docker sees /dev/dri/renderD128 (checked via docker image console)

As I play video - no GPU usage. Is there anything I'm missing? I did reboots, etc - the same result.

I know it's not the best GPU but I want to try, at least it's not so bad for HEVC per forums and I mostly want it for it for big BD remuxes

What I else can check?
Thanks!

Can you post jellyfin logs via pastebin?

RE: Hardware Transcoding doesn't work, AMD iGPU, Unraid - TheDreadPirate - 2024-08-05

Is the video playing, though? There will only be GPU usage when it is transcoding. If the client is direct playing there will be no GPU usage.

Yes, video's playing.

RE: Hardware Transcoding doesn't work, AMD iGPU, Unraid - TheDreadPirate - 2024-08-05

It is transcoding, but only the audio. Audio transcoding will always happen on the CPU.

Code:
Stream mapping:
  Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (copy)
  Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (eac3 (native) -> aac (libfdk_aac))

Stream #0 is the video.

Did I get it correct?
It works for video, so radeontop just doesn't show correct stats?
Still CPU load is for audio transcoding? 

Isn't it too much CPU from that? 4cores - 8 threads load 35-65%

RE: Hardware Transcoding doesn't work, AMD iGPU, Unraid - TheDreadPirate - 2024-08-05

There is no VIDEO transcoding so there will be no GPU usage.  This is normal.  There is only GPU usage when VIDEO is being transcoded.  In this log only the audio is being transcoded.

RE: Hardware Transcoding doesn't work, AMD iGPU, Unraid - yannn - 2024-08-05

I guess I got you. There was no need to transcode it HW so it wasn't. Thanks. Will try to find a file to check. Maybe you have any suggestions for a test sample?

And I saw some stats in radeontop. I don't quite understand that the command does, but it looks like it forces to use hardware accelaration as I see changes in GPU usage https://imgur.com/a/gP8xeQc
So it looks like pushes it transcoding to the specific format, but in my initial case there is no need.
right? I guess it will be the same for Intel iGPU? Just don't like fan noise with CPU usage

RE: Hardware Transcoding doesn't work, AMD iGPU, Unraid - TheDreadPirate - 2024-08-05

That thread is old and using a much older version of ffmpeg. Let's simplify the command to something that should run on the current ffmpeg.

Code:
/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg -hwaccel vaapi -hwaccel_output_format vaapi -vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -i file:"/data/movies/The.Acolyte.S01E03.Destiny.2160p.DSNP.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.HDR.H.265-NTb.mkv" -map_metadata -1 -map_chapters -1 -threads 0 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map -0:s -codec:v:0 h264_vaapi -b:v 3616002 -maxrate 3616002 -bufsize 7232004 -profile:v high -level 41 -force_key_frames:0 -codec:a:0 aac -ac 2 -ab 384000 -af "volume=2" -avoid_negative_ts disabled output.mkv
