louismax Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Hello everyone, I've been running my Helios64 for about 2 months now. My system is installed on the eMMC and i'm running a few docker containers (all from linuxserver.io) Radarr Sonarr Bazarr Transmission Jackett Jellyfin I'm having difficulties with Jellyfin and my media library. When lauching tv shows or movies, the CPU rockets to ~97-99% use and the media is constantly stopping to load. I would like to know what I can do to ease the strain on the CPU and be finally able to use Jellyfin. Has anyone been able to use hardware acceleration with docker ? What info can I give you to shade light on the matter ? Regards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Actually it is not about hardware acceleration in docker. It is more about hardware acceleration at all that needs to be verified if it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you make progress that'd be great to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand x264 seems to be working well, but I didn't extensively test it yet. Any one can explain what we are exactly missing for x265? From what I read the chip should be able to handle it, so I am hopeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Because there is no real driver for using the rockchips videoengine yet. It uses software transcoding which obviously needs lots of cpu power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
