Jan-2022 and NVIDIA Hardware-Encoders (QuickSync/ nvenc) simultaniously on. Simply put, support for installing nVidia drivers and using advanced nVidia features is outside the scope of FreeNAS. nvenc linux FFmpeg SupportThe NVIDIA NVENC hardware encoder has a limited set. I don't see this happening because FreeNAS is a NAS appliance which doesn't use advanced graphics.
#NVENC QUICKSYNC INSTALL#
The ability to use nVidia nvenc would depend upon being able to install nVidia drivers in FreeNAS, then supporting the feature. I know that many late model TV's and Roku devices do a pretty good job on playback. Therefore, you might be better served by updating your playback devices so that more of your content can be direct streamed. Keep in mind that hardware accelerated transcoding does not do as good a job as software transcoding, and doesn't do anything at all if you are not transcoding ). Of course, the Core i5 and i7 systems do not meet the recommended specification for FreeNAS as they do not support ECC memory.įor those of you with FreeNAS installations on Core i3, i5, or i7 systems, if you see the option - give it a try and let us know if it works.

Most Core i3, i5, and i7 processors will support Quick Sync. In my case, I have a Xeon e3-1240v2 cpu so I do not have onboard graphics. Xeon processors whose names end in "0" do not have onboard graphics - those that end in "5" have it. In today's video I compare all of the major streaming encoders - X264 vs NVENC vs AMF/VCE vs. The ability to use Intel Quick Sync would depend upon your CPU.
