It works pretty fast and automatically opens the location where your converted files get saved. Simply add your files, choose your output format and click the button to begin the conversion process. It’s got a super straightforward interface that guides you in the conversion process. If your Jellyfin server does not support hardware acceleration, but you have another machine that does, you can leverage rffmpeg to delegate the transcoding to another machine.If you want a quick and easy way to convert video and audio files on your Mac, iDealshare is a nifty option. The hardware acceleration is available immediately for media playback. Supported codecs need to be indicated by checking the boxes in Enable hardware decoding for and Hardware encoding options. Select a valid hardware acceleration method from the drop-down menu and a device if applicable. Hardware acceleration options can be found in the Admin Dashboard under the Transcoding section of the Playback tab.

The current state of hardware acceleration support in FFmpeg can be checked on the rpi-ffmpeg repository. Jellyfin will fallback to software de/encoding for those usecases. This decision was made because Raspberry Pi is currently migrating to a V4L2 based hardware acceleration, which is already available in Jellyfin but does not support all features other hardware acceleration methods provide due to lacking support in FFmpeg. Video Scaling & Format conversion (optional)Īs of Jellyfin 10.8 hardware acceleration on Raspberry Pi via OpenMAX OMX was dropped and is no longer available. The transcoding pipeline usually has multiple stages, which can be simplified to: Raspberry Pi Video4Linux2 (V4L2, Linux only)

Intel/AMD Video Acceleration API (VA-API, Linux only) The supported and validated video hardware acceleration (HWA) methods are: It enables the Jellyfin server to access the fixed-function video codecs, video processors and GPGPU computing interfaces provided by vendor of the installed GPU and the operating system. The Jellyfin server uses a modified version of FFmpeg as its transcoder, namely jellyfin-ffmpeg. The Jellyfin server can offload on the fly video transcoding by utilizing an integrated or discrete graphics card ( GPU) suitable to accelerate this workloads very efficiently without straining your CPU.
