phillips321 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Hi guys, I have EXPenology running under 5.5u2 but fore some reason media transcoding isn't enabled for the media server component. Can this be enabled? Is the CPU (1610) powerful enough to transcode 1080p? Many thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellDiverUK Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 At a guess, Synology use the QuickSync function of whatever CPU they use the the Play machines. The G1610 doesn't have Quicksync, you'd probably need an i3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellDiverUK Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I hope I was correct, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotNoTime Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Quicksync doesn't work in a VM without doing some fiddling that isn't recommended by VMware. You need to passthrough the Intel graphics adapter but then you lose display for the host. I'm not sure Quicksync even works for the gen 8 microserver when running bare metal as the chipset doesn't support the CPU graphics and has its own crappy Matrix G200 clone instead.

ikon Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 If the PCIe slot is empty, you could maybe install a GPU and use that to help transcoding?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
