#Hardware Transcoding config using docker-compose.yml file - Nvidia

How can I modify the current docker-compose.yml file to accommodate hardware transcoding features as well? I tried the following (based on a similar discord discussion for Intel quicksync), but it seems to be using by CPU. If you need more information on something, let me know.

Yeap. That was the discussion I was referring to in my question. The solution that worked for that OP was adding the config directly to the docker-compose.yml instead of using the hwaccel.yml. That post was related to Intel QuickSync, so I thought I might create a separate thread for Nvidia. Would you like me to continue my questions there?

Did you set the hardware transcoding setting to NVENC in the admin page? It will still use the CPU if not.

Yes, I did. Looking at the logs, it says - Provided device doesn't support required NVENC features - 10 bit encode not supported.

I guess that is my hardware is not capable (I have NVIDIA Quadro P600)?

I have similar problem my nVidia P4 doesn't support B frames for HVEC ```

How do I turn those off?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_NVENC - see GP104 column

Nvidia NVENC

Nvidia NVENC (short for Nvidia Encoder) is a feature in Nvidia graphics cards that performs video encoding, offloading this compute-intensive task from the CPU to a dedicated part of the GPU. It was introduced with the Kepler-based GeForce 600 series in March 2012.The encoder is supported in many livestreaming and recording programs, such as vMi...

this is a separate issue but for both, using vaapi should work.

#

but nvenc should also work for sdr content in @ruby goblet 's case

Just to clarify: The new PR should fix this for my case?

yep
