Original Pull Request: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/pull/8942

State: closed
Merged: Yes

Tested on Intel Arc A380 by mounting a modified version of immich/server/dist/utils/media.js with AV1 added to the list of supported codecs of QuickSync. Works flawlessly.

Testing steps:

GPU info

$ lspci  -v -s  $(lspci | grep ' VGA ' | cut -d" " -f 1)
2d:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation DG2 [Arc A380] (rev 05) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
	Subsystem: ASRock Incorporation DG2 [Arc A380]
	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 69, IOMMU group 19
	Memory at fb000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
	Memory at 7c00000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=8G]
	Expansion ROM at fc000000 [disabled] [size=2M]
	Capabilities: <access denied>
	Kernel driver in use: i915
	Kernel modules: i915

Mounted a customized version of immich/server/dist/utils/media.js with this portion modified (added system_config_entity_1.VideoCodec.AV1)

class QSVConfig extends BaseHWConfig {
...
    getSupportedCodecs() {
        return [system_config_entity_1.VideoCodec.H264, system_config_entity_1.VideoCodec.HEVC, system_config_entity_1.VideoCodec.VP9, system_config_entity_1.VideoCodec.AV1];
    }
...
}

Changed video codec to AV1 and hardware acceleration API to Quick Sync
