The hardware acceleration is available immediately for media playback. More downloading options Get packages & executable files FFmpeg only provides source code. Supported codecs need to be indicated by checking the boxes in Enable hardware decoding for and Hardware encoding options. If you find FFmpeg useful, you are welcome to contribute by donating. In that case, you may need to uninstall FFmpeg again and make a shared build of a supported version from source. If your distribution ships with a different version, it may not get detected, or may not work correctly. Select a valid hardware acceleration method from the drop-down menu and a device if applicable. Caution: Audacity supports FFmpegs libavformat in version 55 (all Audacity versions), 57 and 58 (Audacity 3.1+) and 59 (Audacity 3.2+). Hardware acceleration options can be found in the Admin Dashboard under the Transcoding section of the Playback tab. The current state of hardware acceleration support in FFmpeg can be checked on the rpi-ffmpeg repository.

Jellyfin will fallback to software de/encoding for those usecases. This decision was made because Raspberry Pi is currently migrating to a V4L2 based hardware acceleration, which is already available in Jellyfin but does not support all features other hardware acceleration methods provide due to lacking support in FFmpeg. Video Scaling & Format conversion (optional)Īs of Jellyfin 10.8 hardware acceleration on Raspberry Pi via OpenMAX OMX was dropped and is no longer available. The transcoding pipeline usually has multiple stages, which can be simplified to: Raspberry Pi Video4Linux2 (V4L2, Linux only) Intel/AMD Video Acceleration API (VA-API, Linux only) FFmpeg is an open-source media tool you can use to convert any video format into the one you need. The supported and validated video hardware acceleration (HWA) methods are: It enables the Jellyfin server to access the fixed-function video codecs, video processors and GPGPU computing interfaces provided by vendor of the installed GPU and the operating system. The Jellyfin server uses a modified version of FFmpeg as its transcoder, namely jellyfin-ffmpeg. The Jellyfin server can offload on the fly video transcoding by utilizing an integrated or discrete graphics card ( GPU) suitable to accelerate this workloads very efficiently without straining your CPU.
