I’ve been trying to setup Tdarr to transcode using my AMD integrated GPU instead of my CPU, but all I’m finding online is people using nvidia cards…well, I don’t have one of those, but I have an AMD CPU with integrated gpu, so I wanted to use that, but apparently that’s extremely uncommon and I can’t find any working solutions.

Edit: I’m running Tdarr in a docker container on my OMV media server.

Edit 2: I’ve gotten it working, but the compression is nonexisting. A h264 -> h265 transcode increases file size by ~5%.

Needed to add my Tdarr container to the render group and pass through the dev/dri/renderD128 folder.

    Besides maybe confusing the codecs, hardware encoders, especially the AMD ones, are always less space efficient than software encoders.

    If you want to convert video for long-term storage, please use a software encoder.
