Mika<p>Done this with the <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/AMD" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AMD</a> 5600G's iGPU, now testing <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Jellyfin" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jellyfin</a> hardware transcoding with my <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Intel" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Intel</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/ArcA380" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArcA380</a><span> GPU - one question though, is it normal for CPU usage to be rather high at least in the early parts of streaming (while transcoding), even with hardware transcoding?<br><br>I'm just trying to figure out if it is actually hardware transcoding - I'm assuming it is, bcos on the admin dashboard I'm seeing that it's transcoding as AV1 and I'm sure my Ryzen 7 1700 would not be able to do/handle that, esp considering that I'm testing with 4 streams playing concurrently? but the CPU usage is rather high the first minute or two or more from when the stream starts, it does lower down afterwards - the video playback is perfectly fine, no stuttering or anything like that.<br><br>My method of passthrough is the same as I did with the 5600G, that is a simple passthrough to the </span><a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/LXC" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LXC</a> container, then to the <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Docker" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Docker</a> container running Jellyfin. I don't think I noticed this high CPU usage when testing the 5600G, and the only minor configuration difference between the two was I'd used <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/VAAPI" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VAAPI</a> with the 5600G and disabled <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/AV1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AV1</a> encoding (since idt it supports it), while on the Arc A380 GPU I'm using Intel's <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/QSV" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#QSV</a><span> and have enabled AV1 encoding.<br><br>Am I correct to assume that hardware transcoding is indeed working? Cos again, I'm quite certain my Ryzen 7 1700 would definitely NOT be able to handle this lol esp since I only give the LXC container 2 cores.</span></p>
