Transcoding working for Admin only on Android TV app. - ndeering - 2024-04-29
Hi all,
My users keep getting errors when playing media on their accounts. When I log in with my admin account I am able to transcode and view the movie properly.
When I switch over to their account after logging into the admin it also works. However when I remove the admin account after doing so, it will then no longer work again. Has this been an issue for anyone else?
The error code I am seeing is: Player error encountered.
Here is the end of my log:

Can you describe your setup? Hardware specs and software configuration? Direct install or Docker?

Since it is an unprivileged container, for security purposes, I had to do a workaround so that the container could access the iGPU, it seems to work fine on the admin account.

Can you share your jellyfin logs via pastebin?

Please let me know if you need more. I singled out one of the plays I attempted and am seeing this.
I appreciate your help!

I missed this the last post. You need to add the render group to your docker compose with the "group_add" parameter. See my compose example below.
Code:
services:
jellyfin:
image: jellyfin/jellyfin:unstable
container_name: jellyfin-unstable
user: 105:104
group_add:
- "993" # Intel render group
network_mode: 'host'
volumes:
- ./jellyfin-data/config:/config
- ./jellyfin-data/cache:/cache
- /media:/media:ro
devices:
- /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128
restart: 'unless-stopped'
extra_hosts:
- "host.docker.internal:host-gateway"Use "getent group render" to get the group ID for render on your system.

Hi again,
I am not entirely sure it is even a transcode issue. I have not seen any issues on the webapp. I feel like the Android TV app may just be buggy at the moment? When I log out and log back in on the Android tv app it will work. When I then exit the app, reopen it, and play the same content it will give me "player error". Have you seen that before?
Here is what I did based on your instructions, thanks for the help!
"getent group render" returns "render:x:108:root,jellyfin,gauth"
So I added the below to the compose. "jellyfin" in the above is 1000 so added it just in case:
group_add:
- "108"
- "1000"
The issue seems to still persist though even after adding these. Any idea where to go from here?

Do you have "Allow encoding HEVC format" enabled? If so disable it?
RE: Transcoding working for Admin only on Android TV app. - ndeering - 2024-05-02
Thank you, I disabled it. The issue seems to have to do with the Max Mbps on the app. When I set it to Auto it would more often than not say "player error", when I switched it to 60mbps content seems to work again. I tried another movie, saw "Player error", switched it to 70mbps and it then worked. Does this mean it is not transcoding properly?
I have seen some of my users have their audio transcoded, but video seems to all be direct.
Thanks!
