Or will i have to do some kind of re-installation? Try to install on fresh HDD with new fash with loader. If it'll be work try to reinstall on your own HDD by deleting /etc.defaults folder in ssh.

HW Transcoding doesn't work obviously. 1.04b / DSM_DS918+_23739.pat08-Jul-2018 23:16 252M ( from Syno website ) CPU i3-7100u (GPU HD620) Video Station Installed Multimedia Server Installed Real SN / Mac What can I do more ??

mervincm Posted March 19, 2019 Share #55 Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) I also tried installing videostation. Still no /dev/dri, but I did get the error in /usr/syno/etc/codec/activation.conf {"success":false,"msg":"SN format is wrong."} So, my videostation transcode does not work. that being said, on the old systemboard I had working hardware transcode in PLEX, so I don't think the serial and MAC is important for PLEX hardware transcode. It would be interesting to compile a list of what people were able to get working. As an example I can confirm haswell CPUs will support hw transcode with 104b+DS918+ 6.2 patched to date+plex+plexpass. I can not get 9xxx coffee lake refresh CPU w Z390 board+104b+DS9618+ 6.2 patched to date+plex+plexpass to support hw transcode (I don't think this is possible yet) Has anyone got 8xxx coffee lake CPU w z390 (or any other) 104b+DS9618+ 6.2 patched to date+plex+plexpass to support hw transcode? (I don't think this is possible yet) Has anyone got 7xxx kaby lake CPU + chipset 104b+DS9618+ 6.2 patched to date+plex+plexpass to support hw transcode?

juliantje15 Posted March 26, 2019 Share #58 Posted March 26, 2019 Hello everyone! I have a Gigabyte b360m-d3h with an Intel Pentium G5400T cpu. At first i couldn't get the ethernet port working (Intel i219-v), but with the extra.lzma provided at (https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/12859-driver-extension-jun-103a2dsm62x-for-ds918/) it worked using 1.04b and dsm 6.2 for DS918+. I couldn't not get 6.2.1 to work, and i read that it had something to do with non official pci devices that are not supported with that version. I have a genuine s/n + mac, and software transcoding with video station and photo station is working. At first, software transcoding didn't work, even after installing video station i still got the following message: cat: /usr/syno/etc/codec/activation.conf: No such file or directory. I had to install photo station, and try to convert a video, and after that it worked and gave the following: cat /usr/syno/etc/codec/activation.conf {"success":true,"activated_codec":["h264_dec","h264_enc","mpeg4part2_dec","hevc_dec","aac_dec","aac_enc"],"token":"123451234123"} However, I can't get hardware transcoding to work. I dont have a /dev/dri folder, and both Plex and Video station are transcoding via software. I guess I'll have to wait until the coffe lake 9th gen cpu's are supported?

Can you please confirm a few things? did you use the serial in the USB image, or did you change it to generated serial? maybe a real serial? did you burn any mac addresses into your Intel NIC? did you add those into the mac1 and mac2 entries on the USB image? can you confirm if you have any other video card in your system? any monitor connected or headless? can you confirm the contents of your conf file with this cat /usr/syno/etc/codec/activation.conf I am stuck trying to burn the MACs into my dual-headed NIC, and I am really hoping it's not actually required for plex (I didn't have to do it for plex on my Haswell system) If I can get to where you are maybe we can work on it together. Have you tried the 20mbps HEVC HD jellifish sample file to determine if you get the quality deterioration issue when it hw transcodes to a web client set to MAX bitrate? http://jell.yfish.us/media/jellyfish-20-mbps-hd-hevc.mkv Edited March 29, 2019 by mervincm add test file details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never tried. I assumed it wouldn't work and I had several PCIE Intel NICs hanging around from various other ESXi projects in my past. Actually, I have another ESXi build right now with the same onboard NIC and I had to jump through many hoops to get that working so I just expected it wouldn't work on my Xpenology project.

My most recent boots and tests have been done with no monitor connected. - I don't have a folder at: /usr/syno/etc/codec but I have assumed that is because I didn't install any other video streaming tools. I have installed Plex only. I admit that I skipped that part of the tutorial, simply because the folders were identified as necessary for SW encoding/transcoding. Since the folder didn't exist, I have assumed it probably gets installed with Videostation or something like that. I don't have it installed. CPU usage is much higher when I switch Plex back to software transcoding. It's down to about 13% with 1x 4K stream transcoding to 2mbps 720p. So I can confirm that HW transcoding is in action.. Unfortunately, it just pauses every so often. I just googled "jellyfish hardware transcoding deterioration" and found reference to the issues you're talking about. Will try that when I'm home tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
