Hardware Transcoding after Asustor Update

Channels DVR Server

mikefromnj October 19, 2025, 11:49am #1

I run Channels on my Asustor NAS. Asustor recently came our with a software update (5.1.0.RMG1). After the update, Hardware Transcoding is no longer an option using both the Channels Asustor app or Channels in Docker. Has anyone found a fix for tyhis? Thanks!

This is what I see under Transcoder Debug Info:

That's normal if you don't have a 32-bit arm processor.
Do any others display a result?

What is the CPU model?

Bobby_Vaughn October 19, 2025, 4:57pm #5

I remember other users have an issue with the Asustor 5.xx updates. I believe it was a security change where only root users could access device files like /dev/dri.

mikefromnj October 19, 2025, 5:26pm #6

My NAS has the N5105. I have tried both the ChannelsDVR Asustor app and a standard Docker container with the same result. I think it is the permissions issue the other poster referenced. Thanks for any help you can provide.

tmm1 October 24, 2025, 9:20pm #7

This error occurs on Jasper Lake CPUs and is typically fixed with the kernel parameter i915.enable_guc=2

tmm1 October 24, 2025, 9:21pm #8

They had fixed this in the past, but I think they broke it again in the new update.

I ran cat /sys/module/i915/parameters/enable_guc and the value is "-1". Is that causing the issue? Thanks,
