HW transcoding

[Goby]

Hi all,

 

It's been several days I try to understand how to activate HW transcoding on my 918+ and I am a little bit lost.

My config :

- DS918+

- DSM 7.2.1 update 6 (Want to keep this one to have video station)

- Loader RR 24.11.11

- Addon : codecpatch, cpuinfo, photosfacepatch.

- S/N : The true one I have on a real DS216j

- AME activated and Codec activated with the Darknebular Wrapper (https://github.com/darknebular/Wrapper_VideoStation)

- The hardware is in my signature. I would like to use the iGPU of the intel I3 to ease the video transcoding.

 

I don't have /dev nor /dev/dri folder.

 

Thanks for your help.

It would be nice to know your hardware specs (especially CPU),
Assuming you are using Intel 4th generation or later, the model that is perfect for transcoding is SA6400, not DS918+.
SA6400 is superior to DS918+ in every way.

 

You don't need AME patch or genuine SN.

Just install it and check /dev/dri directory right away.
Also, verify the normal installation of i915 module with the following command.

 

dmesg | grep i915
lsmod | grep i915

 

rr is perfect of course, but my mshell is also sufficiently verified on SA6400.
There is a link to download the latest release on my profile.

Do you have an i3-9100? It's more than enough for transcoding.
