Re: How do I enable Intel Quick Sync transcoding on Serviio?

I am a newbie to Seriilo, but not DLNA, and I also want to enable Intel QSV.
Assembling info from this post and all the other posts and redirections and blogs and FAQ's I want to verify that I did the correct things. Nothing was laid out step by step.
I am using a fresh install of Serviio version 1.9 on Windows 10
Here is what I did

1. Stopped Serviio server
2. copied Zeranoe's ffmepg.exe version 3.4 to the serviio\lib folder and renamed the old one
3. added -Dserviio.useQSVAcceleration to ServiiioService.exe.vmoptions file
4. Start Serviio server

Are there any more steps I need, or any of these steps unnecessary with version 1.9?
Do I need to change the profile.xml? I am using Samsung E series
Do I need to also install Intel MediaServerStudioEssentials? That step was not clear anywhere I looked.

Also, how do I tell if the QSV is being used? Saw nothing about it in the logs. Would be nice to see it in the [PlaybackEventManager] info as well as codec info.

Thanks and great work on the best unbloated DLNA I have seen so far.

Re: How do I enable Intel Quick Sync transcoding on Serviio?

you can confirm it's being used by enabling detailed log and checking the target codec of video files. When transcoding to h264 it should say "c:v h264_qsv" instead of "c:v libx264" in the ffmpeg.exe argument list.

I 'think' you will have to install the Intel MediaServerStudioEssentials, as ffmpeg is compiled against the bindings, but the driver implementation is in the Intel suite.
