The server venture continues, looking at shrimps dancing in the water...
I finally gave in and bought the little Quadro P400 to do my Emby encoding...
I said I wouldn't but they are high output video cards with very low power consumption at a dirt cheap price.
Without the 3DFx Gaming bla bla... These things can play 3 different videos on 3 monitors at high resolution at the same time. Without breaking a sweat and will use 30 watts a full blast and can decode literally 100S of movies at the same time... With 2 gig of ram.
I checked it and transcoding a 4k movie was taking 61 mo of the video ram and went unnoticed.
There's was a little frustration there... With the installation in The VM passthrough ect... I'm glad I did it because it gives me an idea how it's going to be with the big brother coming in soon...
Then tadammmm... all codecs availlable in hardware in the Happy Emby.
It took me at least 6 hours to comprehend the how to get to exclude the Video card from being used by the host.... Still not automatic in ProXmoX... But once I got it. Video and Audio where native in the VM...
Then the next morning... A major update gets out....
Darn...
