Very High CPU with playback

[rainman]

As you can see, the CPU the DS920+ has is an Intel Celeron J4125 which has an iGPU (Intel UHD Graphics 600): https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/...tions.html

Correct! I managed to set it up and the CPU has dropped from 95% down to 6-15% when playing back... fantastic!

Go to your dashboard and into the playback section for transcoding settings.
 
You need to pass the GPU into the container first however if you're running Jellyfin in a Docker container.

Look at my guide if you want to see how to do so using Compose: https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-guide-runni...er-compose

This guide was perfect for me on the 920+: https://www.wundertech.net/jellyfin-transcoding/

I did wonder if I have setup the preferences for the encoding type:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enable hardware decoding for
H264: selected (this was default)
HEVC: selected  (changed this from default as should be supported: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/admini...ion/intel/)
MPEG2: selected  (changed this from default - this was a guess)
VC1: selected (this was default)
VP8: not selected (didn't change default)
VP9: not selected (didn't change default)
AV1: not selected (I don't think this is supported with the Celeron j4125: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/admini...ion/intel/)
HEVC 10bit:  selected (this was default)
VP9 10bit:  selected (this was default)

Prefer OS native DXVA or VA-API hardware decoders: selected (this was default)

Does anybody have the preferred transcoding options for Synology 920+?
