Intel arc

I am wondering if the arc a310 is compatible with channels dvr under ubuntu. thanks.

It should be. Even an old RaPi works with Channels so something new should do fine

Intel arc for transcoding not supported.

Can we add support. I hate to spend $600 on a a2000 when a $100 a310 will do.

Doesn't Intel Arc GPU's support Intel QuickSync?

Yeah but it’s a different driver. On my Plex server I needed to install a bunch of specific Intel ARC drivers for it.

Channels has that hardware transcode detection test that goes through and checks the existence and capability of NVENC, i915, etc so my guess would be that process doesn’t have support for the ARC driver and hardware yet?

I definitely hope it’s planned though, future Intel CPU’s are going to have embedded GPU’s much closer to ARC hardware than the current architecture, so you’d think supporting it would help with future Intel iGPU support if they end up using the same driver for both.

If I have an igpu and an arc gpu both enabled on my server running ubuntu, will channels dvr use the igpu for transcoding. thanks.

Yes
