Enable Intel Quick Sync on Linux

A search of the forums provides info for Windows, but is this possible on Linux?

If someone could explain how, or point me in the right direction that would be great.

I tried a quick search online, and it appears you need to install an Intel Media SDK driver package. What I can't figure out is if it's distro sensitive, or if there's a generic Linux version. I found a Plex support page that has some good info about Quick Sync, although it's tailored for the Plex server. https://support.plex.tv/articles/115002 ... streaming/ But they do a good job of outlining the hardware and OS requirements.

And here's a link to an Intel PDF that discusses configuration. I think you can ignore the part about FFMPEG, as I believe Serviio ships with a version of ffmpeg that supports Quick Sync. https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/p ... -valid.pdf

It's Linux, so it's complicated...

Yeah I think this one is above my pay grade!

Thanks for your help in both threads anyway.
