SOLVED: Intel A310 Encoding Not Working

[molinamos]

I am trying to use my Intel A310 to do encoding but ffmpeg is failing.

Linux XYZ 6.12.12+bpo-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.12.12-1~bpo12+1 (2025-02-23) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I've attached the log of ffmpeg. I've tried to follow the setup in the guide but still seeing issues and don't know where else to look.

That looks like a kernel issue or caused by missing firmware. Check this out

For manually downloading and installing the Intel firmware, here are the simplified instructions.

Code:

cd ~/
git clone --depth=1 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/firmware
sudo cp -r linux-firmware/i915 /usr/lib/firmware

Following the https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/admini...r-encoding fixed my issue!

I think when I reading the instructions, I was too sleepy and still ran "enable_guc=2" even though I have the Intel ARC310.
I removed that file and reboot and everything still works!

I've been trying to fix this time and time again trying to timebox but with your help, was finally able to fix it.
Thank You

Side Note
I also saw this log when running one of the commands, I'm assuming its okay as W means warning?

Code:

I'm unsure if xe has benefits over i915 for transcoding.

[nyanmisaka]

The xe kernel driver is not currently available for Arc Alchemist, you can safely ignore that warning and continue using i915.
