7.8.0 (2024-10-14)
- Behavior change: hardware acceleration is now enabled by default if it's available and detected as working by HBUP.
- Behavior change: the bundled FFmpeg no longer attempts to provide Intel QSV hardware acceleration support due to bugs in the QSV libraries when creating static FFmpeg builds.
- Improvement: Intel QSV hardware acceleration support now works with HEVC (Protect calls this enhanced encoding).
- Improvement: support for Jellfin FFmpeg builds for use with Intel QSV hardware acceleration. If you want to use Intel QSV hardware acceleration, I recommend either downloading it for your particular Linux environment from Jellyfin or adding the Jellyfin repository to your Linux distribution and then installing
jellyfin-ffmpeg. Ensure you specify the location of the Jellyfin FFmpeg version under the Settings | Additional Settings section in the HBUP webUI. - Housekeeping.
