Is Quick Sync Video any good? Media Server Hardware Encoding Tests | Enquire within, help needed!

Future video idea: How do you manage updates/docker images across all your home devices? I have 3-4 physical linux bare-metal boxes, 4 pi's, and a multitude of other gear. Currently, I just ssh into each device once a week and run an update script to pull os-level updates and docker image updates. It would be very cool to have a Grafana (or like) pi that watches for updates across select hosts and displays "smokeping image on Pi2 is out of date", shows main server's HDDs and temps, the opensense info, things like that. I know there's tools out there like watchtower, Diun, portainer, others but have never really used. Would love to see how you manage this.

I installed a fresh copy of Proxmox 8.0.3 and attempted to go through the instructions as root. However, the docker binary does not appear to be found. Was there something else you did on your Proxmox system? Should this not be run as root?

Looking forward to seeing the results! I am running an i7 7700k for my unraid server and also have the itch to upgrade.

you should have a look at fileflows, if you like batch transcoding. Much better than tdarr!

Man I’m really sorry, I tried hard to get igpu passthrough on my proxmox , I just hit stone wall
I’m novice to all this, so likely to be user error 😅
Sorry

Dat dubstep intro tho

Love it! Last upgrade cycle my research pointed to the i5-XX500 as the sweet spot since it has the UHD770 and 2 “multi-format codec engines”. I did not end up getting 2x the frame rate in Tdarr though. I’ll add my systems and look forward to the results!

If anyone can figure out an vaapi based test command i can submit my 5700G and 4600u, as he mentions going AMD.
i tried swapping h264_qsv for h264_vaapi but i get the below error when testing on my working jellyfin lxc container...

>>Impossible to convert between the formats supported by the filter 'Parsed_null_0' and the filter 'auto_scale_0'
>>Error reinitializing filters!
>>Failed to inject frame into filter network: Function not implemented

Wish I could help, I have an i7-9700 but I am running Windows.

I have a 13th gen in my media server and it's great for transcoding. Since the CPU is mostly idle because of this I can use it for other tasks such as game servers.

Highly doubt my server has quick sync, old dell r310. I might build something but not using a media server right now, anyway the kittens pulled the only monitor to the ground. Our TV died before also

Such a great project, thanks for all who contributed/ will contribute to this project 🙏

I have Intel 5 6600k in z290 mb.
I’m running proxmox as host os, however, I’m not sure how pass through/ share the igpu to jellyfin lxc container
I assume that I’d need to install docker inside Ubuntu 22.4 then get jellyfin inside the docket!
The issue is how to map the igpu to the docker!
I’ll look for a tutorial and try to upload some results

Love your content!

NB while amd cpus may have more pcie lanes, the motherboards rarely manage to have more pcie slots.

Does things like direct or NAS storage come into play? For instance I’m running a Lenovo Tiny PC with Plex but the media is on my NAS

Not sure what the issue is but no sound... 😢😢😢
