7/6/2023 0 Comments Emby server ubuntu![]() I chose the ATX motherboard platform due to the number of full-size PCIe slots (even though not all of them are 16x slots. But as a technologist and realist, I realized, if I wanted a Multi-method transcoding server in one-box… I needed to go with Intel (at least until they release their GPU in the coming year(s).). That configuration worked, but when I decided I wanted to run ALL of the GPU’s in ONE system, I found that I was running out of processors to dedicate to VMs, hence I went with the 8700K and NOT the 9700K (12 threads vs 8 threads) – another bonus to the processor upgrade is the addition of hardware HEVC enconding/decoding that the older 4790K didn’t have.īy heart I am a ‘bang-for-the-buck’ kinda person, so EVERY other computer/server I have are AMD-based. I began this experiment with an I7 4790K, 16GB DDR3 and ASUS Z97-A motherboard. ![]() This works great as in the event you need to reset the AMD-based transcoding server … you won’t run into the GPU hanging issue since the entire server will be rebooted. Therefore, I settled on the Base VM system also being an Emby server running on Ubuntu 18.04 and using the AMD GPU for video AMD GPU acceleration in Emby Transcoding. I was able to set this system up with Proxmox… EXCEPT, I ran into the AMD GPU reset issue in the VM that is pretty universal across ALL disto’s and configurations (from my experience). I have also tried Proxmox and ESXi server. This can be done using Arch, Fedora, CentOS … however, I found this to be stable (for my use-case). Here is what I have currently settled on as my ‘production’ system (yes, using Ubuntu server). It does seem like every BLOG and post out there is usually missing at least one thing if you are doing a ‘from scratch’ set up. My adventures have proven very educational. I started with Arch linux to cut my teeth on GPU passthrough as the documentation is excellent. I have tried many distros and configurations. ![]() Over the last 3 months I have been experimenting with Linux, Emby and GPU passthrough. ![]() From my experimentation, each GPU used must have its own Emby Server instance/VM. I feel incredibly stupid asking this, because I’ve been running Linux almost exclusively at the house for 10 years.I decided to post this as I am sure I am not the only person wondering about trying a server with multiple GPU’s for transcoding. I’ve tried the Emby forums, and I haven’t had any luck. \Diskstation-PCM\Synology Shared\TV Shows.\Diskstation-PCM\volume2\Synology Shared\TV Shows.WHEN ADDING A PATH TO THE MEDIA FOLDERS, I’VE TRIED THE FOLLOWING WHICH NEVER WORKED… tv shows are stored on the nas at: volume2/Synology Shared/TV Shows/.I’m not trying to access my files outside of my LAN. ![]()
