You gotta modify synoboot.img to run dsm 6.2.2. successfully. Just remember that hw acceleration doesn't work on 6.2.2. with gemini lakes.

[Tutorial: installing 918+ 6.2.X DSM on 1.04b loader (transcoding)]

You don't need any driver extensions for dsm 6.2.1 to enable hw transcoding on gemini lake

[Plex hardware transcoding not good]

Does /dev/dri/ contain any files?

 

You use correct dsm version and bootloader. So hw transcoding should work without any doubts.

what driver you're looking for?

HW transcoding doesnt work with that driver. There are many topics about hw transcoding on gemini lakes. Just keep searching. Have a same MB and 6.2.1 dsm and everything works and so yours should as well

@Olegin I have the same ASRock J4105-ITX that you have and can't get hw transcode to work with the latest dsm. As it seems that you're also not running hw transcode on your system, I wonder if it's even possible right now. Could someone halp me on that?

There are many people with the same problem. Just downgrade to 6.2.1-23824.

[Driver extension jun 1.03b/1.04b for DSM6.2.2 for 3615xs / 3617xs / 918+]

The question is quite off-topic.... A J5005 works fine with 1.04b.

[Driver extension jun 1.03b/1.04b for DSM6.2.2 for 3615xs / 3617xs / 918+]

Take a J5005 which is the most powerful. They are all basically the same but J4205 and J3355 have older generation of CPU.

 

[Trying to install to an Asrock J4105-itx, Issues...]

Create a new boot drive and format drives. Make sure you mount 15mb partition edit correct values in grub.cfg. I would suggest to install DSM 6.2.1-23824 if HW transcoding is needed.

[Trying to install to an Asrock J4105-itx, Issues...]

What DSM version did you install? DSM 6.2.1-23824 Update 6 works fine with same MB and unmodified loader.

[Hardware Acceleration with Asrock j5005]

Thats unfortunate. Have you had any issues with 6.2-23739?

[Hardware Acceleration with Asrock j5005]

Can you describe how to flash a Mac address? I have a J4105itx..

[Hardware Acceleration with Asrock j5005]

Hi,

 

Can you guys be more specific about Mac flash? I really have no idea what to do. Correct me if I am wrong but to have hw and sw transcoding active I need real Synology SN and MAC and to be able to WOL I need MBs MAC?

[SN and MAC address dont change]

Currently I use a real Synology SN and MAC as well in order to have hw and sw transcoding activated.

 

Another question is how I am supposed to enable WOL? Can I change Mac to MB's one without losing a transcoding ability? 

[Tutorial: installing 918+ 6.2.X DSM on 1.04b loader (transcoding)]

Hi,

I found these files in cd /dev/dri card0 and renderD128 . Using cat /usr/syno/etc/codec/activation.conf command i got this:

{"success":true,"activated_codec":["aac_dec","aac_enc","ac3_dec","hevc_dec","h26        4_dec","h264_enc","mpeg4part2_dec","vc1_dec","vc1_enc"],"token":"e12d2eb91847807         19a966f8d9f93e0dc"}.

 

I have a 20mbps bitrate h264 movie transcoded (to low quality) offline via video station and the estimated time to finish as about 50 minuttes (The hateful eight). Also watch a same bitrate movie online via plex at the same time. No buffering at all.

 

My CPU usage goes upto 90 % for a couple of seconds then down to 10 - 30 % for like 10 - 20 seconds and keeps repeating.

 

Can anyone tell me how can i recognize if its sw or hw transcoding? I have asrock j4105 and 6.2.1

 

Thank for any help

[SN and MAC address dont change]

Well. I run xpenology tool as admin and open ofsmount, mount a synoboot.img, open notepad++, edit grub.cfg and save changes, exit notepad++, press dismount. Then open rufus and flash "modified" a synoboot.img.

[SN and MAC address dont change]

Thanks for your advice. I am sure I saved changes to the grub.cfg (synoboot is placed in C/918/). I was able to change SN and MAC in gnu grub menu. My MB is asrock j4105 with one NIC and i am trying to enable hw transcoding. In this case should i use MBs mac address or synology's addresses (918+ have 2 macs)?

 

Thanks for any reply

[SN and MAC address dont change]

Hi,

I have a problem with SN and mac address. I successfully created bootable USB stick with rufus osfmount (i changed VID, PID, SN, MAC using Notepad++), installed DSM etc. But the system shows default synoboot.img (1.04b) SN and MAC like no changes were made and saved. I use a real synology SN and my own MAC address.

 

Can anyone help me to solve this problem? I am total noob.
