BI will work with ESX, but you will not have hardware acceleration, If you have any HA it will be software HA, which is a big difference.I'm running BI in Vmware ESX and it works fine for me.
This is incorrect. Intel QuickSync does work inside a Windows 10 VM on ESXi. Blue Iris is able to use this for hardware acceleration inside a virtual machine.BI will work with ESX, but you will not have hardware acceleration, If you have any HA it will be software HA, which is a big difference.
Hmm. I looked into this and I guess you're right, with ESXi 6.5 if you pass through the Intel GPU to a VM and the stars align then Quick Sync will work in that VM. Lots of people saying it didn't work. I'm going to try it myself on my little NUC box and see if it works for me. Right now though my Win10 vm is in update limbo.This is incorrect.

Is this still working? Ive got an i5 Kaby Lake NUC that Im considering using for Blue Iris. Id like to use ESXi if possible to run a few other small VMs with low requirements as well.It works for me:
You need to correctly install the drivers. I have a Kaby Lake CPU, maybe it does not work with earlier generations?
Without the drivers correctly installed, QuickSync will not function so hardware acceleration also won't work in Blue Iris. For me it works.
Try downloading the latest drivers from the Intel website. But maybe older CPU's are not supported?
