Jellyscrub stops using hardware acceleration mid-extraction

[BrunoJurkovic]

Hey there,

after checking out the new update with hardware acceleration, I've noticed that a few minutes after starting the task, hardware acceleration is no longer being used, validated by checking nvidia-smi during the task, and by checking resource usage.

When starting the task, nvidia-smi output:

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

After a few minutes (10 in my case):

Any other logs you want attached @nicknsy ?

Jellyscrub logs everytime a bif file is generated. Do the logs indicate that a bif file was attempted with hw accel but when you check it isn't actually using it?

I'd think it's more likely that you have a common decode profile like HEVC 10 unchecked, so most of the generation is done without hw accel.

did you try checking again after a few seconds?
I noticed if you refresh in-between file generation you can catch it without a process showing, but if you refresh again it show back up.
