Truenas Scale Hardware Transcoding

[stormblessed]

I have Jellyfin running on Truenas Scale 24.10.2 with a Intel Arc a310, hardware transcoding is enabled and so far everything works perfectly.

My question is if I can enable the Low-Power H.264 hardware encoder and Low-Power HEVC hardware encoder?

I have tried to find out if the firmware is configured correctly on Truenas but haven't been able to find the information.

Any help would be great!

You should enable both. It is required for Intel Arc when encoding to those codecs.

On the TrueNAS command line run this command and share the output.

Code:

sudo dmesg | grep i915

Depending on the uptime of your server, it may have aged off the messages we are looking for. But you can also go to /var/log and run a grep command to search the archived dmesg log files.

Code:

grep i915 /var/log/dmesg.1
zgrep i915 /var/log/dmesg.*.gz

This is the output:

What should I do then?

That looks ok. You should be able to check both low power encoding boxes.
