Now, you can open the web browser, point to your Emby server (e.g. $ sudo nano /opt/emby-server/bin/emby-server Modify the emby executable, to use our custom ffmpeg (Note: you will need to repeat this step every time you update the emby deb package): $ sudo apt-mark hold ffmpeg-doc ffmpeg libavcodec-dev libavcodec-extra libavdevice-dev libavfilter-dev libavfilter-extra libavformat-dev libavresample-dev libavutil-dev libmysofa-dev libmysofa-utils libmysofa0 libpostproc-dev libswresample-dev libswscale-devĪdd the user "emby" to the video group, so it can have access to the transcoding engine: Hold the ffmpeg packages, so they don't get upgraded:

$ tar xvf emby-server-stretch-xu4_1.0.tar.xz setting up Nvidia card with Emby to transcode Got installed a new card (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti) and installed the plugin then configured the emby container as suggested here video works great but the passthrough audio for DTS and atmos is no longer working it's just in stereo.

That means lower CPU usage, lower temperatures, and the possibility of encoding in real time higher resolutions or more simultaneous streams. One of them is the access to the SoC video encoding capabilities.Įmby Media Server can take advantage of the Exynos 5422 MFC video engine for transcoding.

As a result of all the work that Armbian developers put into the upgrade to kernel 4.14 for the XU4 board family, now we can enjoy many new features.
