Synology quicksync
Hello, I have a DS218+ and I know it's compatible with quicksync for hardware transcoding.
I tried to make it Work but my Nas is not recognized as quicksync compatible for immich.
Has anyone made it work ?

Well that's a lie
Log :
An error occurred while configuring transcoding options: Error: No QSV device found
It's a general question, I'm not sure logs will help you that much 😅
I know you said quicksync in immich is for 7th gen or higher, I juste want to make sure Synology Nas will then never be compatible With immich requirements even if they are compatible with quicksyncIt says logs, compose, and env file 😉
the compose part is especially required here
Okay, I will provide it tonight, thank you
In fact I think it's easier than that.
If you know it should work with Synology I can share all détail to know why it's not working with me. But if you already know that hardware transcoding is not working with Synology I don't need to share all détail..
So can you confirm to me that hardware transcoding should work or not with Synology NAS ?
Following your doc the answer is no :
You must have a 9th gen Intel CPU or newer
But this seems odd to me given that Synology is the world leader in NAS and many support QuicksyncIt says "For VP9 to work"
Which is a newer codec that is not in the older generations of intel CPUs
Synology runs a super dated kernel, I managed to get hardware acceleration working, however haven't had a need for transcoding so haven't dug into it
Immich isn't officially supported on any specific hardware to my knowledge, so a question like that usually won't get answered
How have you done ?
I followed the guides, and pinpointed a bug (that since has been patched) with one of the admins that was causing an issue with openvino. If you're having issues, the only real way to get help is to share what the bot asks you for, and then anything else the community members ask for. Everyone is just trying to help after all. Then again my experience has nothing to do with transcoding / quicksync as that's what you're asking about
Most people need transcoding because every HDR video is transcoded..
HDR is by default on any new phone..
how much ram is in your synology?
10GO
Okay then I will share all logs and docker compose conf
Here you should have averything 🙂
do you have anything you need ?
This doesn't ring a bell for me, I'll ask around 🙂
Here's a more readable format for your log:
It's an OpenCL driver issue. Probably something to do with Synology kernels being ancient
If you managed to make it work, maybe you could share your docker compose file to compare ?
