Hi,
another question from my side.
I found some other topics, outside of this forum, about HW acceleration for transcoding on a Synology NAS.
I own the DS218+ and this model should be able to do hardware accleration.
But as I read somewhere, Jellyfin can't use the GPU, probably due to the architecture (Container in Docker).
I found a manual from Marius explaining how the make the GPU accessible, but honestly this looks like rocket science.
And to make things even worse it's not only this manual, you have to fullfill some superior requirements, and these their own requirements.
So the manual starts with adding a Proxy (WHHYYYYY, I just want to pass through the GPU
). But therefore he links to another guide, how to use Synology Wildcards... (WTF is a Synology wildcard, I just want to pass through the GPU!). But therefore you have to follow another guide, setting up DDNC on your NAS (once again, why do I need all this "online things" if I just want to make a piece of hardware available to a locally installed app?????)... So no chance for me. Sure, I could dig through all these guides, but I don't want to do so. There's so much stuff I don't understand, so I can't judge if something is a good or bad idea, or if it for example harms the system etc.
Is there an easy, possibly 'out of the box' solution to get HW acceleration working on a Synology NAS?
Thank you
