Correct transcoding settings for the N100 Processor - Nex1337 - 2024-09-01

Hello
I would like to ask you to check if I have set the transcoding configurations for the N100 processor correctly.
Thanks

Yes. But, what version of the Intel OpenCL package is installed and which distro are you running? Run this command and share the output.

Code:
sudo apt policy intel-opencl-icd

Everything looks good.

I have another question because I noticed that when I have the option “Prefer fMP4-HLS Media Container” enabled, when I watch a video on my phone or tablet in google chrome browser, it transcodes it at a limit of ~17-20 frames and the video stutters, but when this option is disabled, the frame rate is ~50 frames per second. When I transmit from my other server with RX 6700 xt everything works fine. Is there any way to fix this, or is it just that the N100 is too weak?

It's probably allowing for a HEVC encode to happen instead of H264. HEVC is much more demanding, so it will be slower on the same hardware when compared to H264.
If you open the playback details when a transcode is happening, it should state if HEVC or H264 is being used for the encode.

You can't fix this other than getting better hardware, using a GPU, or just always sticking to H264.

Can you go to /var/log/jellyfin and find the ffmpeg log for the slow transcode? Then post that log to pastebin. I'm wondering if the bit rate is super high.

I will send the logs, but today when typing the command “jellyfin” I got a strange error. The server is working, just wondering how I can fix it?

Do not start jellyfin by typing literally "jellyfin".  There are options and variables that are set in the service file that don't get set when you simply type "jellyfin".

The proper way to start jellyfin is "sudo systemctl start jellyfin".  It should already start when you boot the PC.

I understand, I do not use the “jellyfin” command to run, I was just curious as to why this error occurs. Should I ignore it?
