javikobcn 0 Posted May 10 Author Share Posted May 10 Hi, I investigated a little more and I tried this commands and that's what they said: root@NASTY:~# cat /usr/syno/etc/codec/activation.conf cat: /usr/syno/etc/codec/activation.conf: No such file or directory root@NASTY:~# cd /dev/dri root@NASTY:/dev/dri# ls card0 renderD128 Why I have /dev/dri folders and card0 and renderD128 but not activation.conf and how I can give it?

J5040 has a iGPU with the id 0x3184 and thats native supported by synology's i915 driver together with the firmware files it provides the devices you see in /dev/dri and with these the intel quick sync support is working the activation.conf is realted to syno's own tools like videostation and even plex needs a licese (plexpass) to use hardware transcoding one of the few free tools to support intel qsv on synology is jellyfin about syno's tools and the activation you can read here https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/24864-transcoding-without-a-valid-serial-number/ https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/49961-synocodectool-patch-for-dsm-70/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

javikobcn 0 Posted May 14 Author Share Posted May 14 Yes, i have installed and configured but i think something is wrong with HW transcodding because i cant play 4k content via web or chromecast. Without transcodding no problem but the cpu runs at +90% obviously and the video keeps stuttering all the time.... Here is some screen captures of my HW transcodding config and the movie info, error, etc. https://imgur.com/a/UXbwIwM Can you tell me if this 1080 H264 movie the HW transcodding is working? And what's the best settings for use HW transcodding with my processor? I have tried Intel Quick Sync and VAAPI and I have the same results. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

javikobcn 0 Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 (edited) Hi, i have tried to update ffmpeg with that tutorial but now i can't use hw transcode... There is a method to downgrade or change the version? And there is a log from jellyfin. https://pastebin.com/x8YLHVxM I feel like I'm floundering and I can't get it...

If so, is there a post to use as a guide? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think the only solution is do the usb installation to restore the damaged installation and pray for not need to reinstall all the dsm...
