Note
This guide is based on the quadlet files in main.
To enable VAAPI or Quick Sync hardware transcoding, uncomment the following line in immich-server.container:
AddDevice=/dev/dri
In the Admin page under Video transcoding settings, change the hardware acceleration setting to the appropriate option and save.
Warning
As I don't have the necessary hardware, I couldn't test the Nvidia instruction. Any confirmation would be appreciated.
Uncomment and add the following lines in immich-server.container:
AddDevice=/dev/dri
# Make sure this matches your GPU ID
AddDevice=nvidia.com/gpu=0
Unmask=/dev/dri:/dev/dri
In the Admin page under Video transcoding settings, change the hardware acceleration setting to the appropriate option and save.
