When using systems with multiple Intel GPUs (for example an iGPU plus an Intel Arc card) multiple render devices may be available:
/dev/dri/renderD128
/dev/dri/renderD129
Currently the Video Transcoder plugin appears to use the default QSV device only. Often the iGPU.
It would be useful to add a plugin setting allowing users to specify the QSV render device path, similar to Jellyfin’s hardware acceleration settings.
Example setting:
QSV Device Path: /dev/dri/renderD129
The plugin would then pass the selected device to FFmpeg when using QSV encoders, for example:
-qsv_device /dev/dri/renderD129
This would improve support for multi-GPU Intel systems while keeping the current behavior as the default.
