RE: hardware setup - TheDreadPirate - 2025-03-11
Is this the right log? This log says you are still software encoding. Can you share the full jellyfin log?
RE: hardware setup - tvrb - 2025-03-12
don't know how that happened, sorry!
i have a different user on my chromecast (with default settings) i don't expect that to make a difference.
doublechecked my transcoding settings -- still have the VAAPI and checked what you guys have suggested.
definitely new log:

thank you again!
RE: hardware setup - TheDreadPirate - 2025-03-12
Both of these say you software transcoding. One of them is even transcoding to HEVC.
Code:
Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (av1 (libdav1d) -> h264 (libx264))Code:
Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (av1 (libdav1d) -> hevc (libx265))Share the main jellyfin log, please. log_20250312.log.

thank you so much!

Is this it? There aren't any playback attempts in this log. You need to replicate the problem, and then share the log afterwards. This log only has the startup process and no playback logs.

For some reason it is still software transcoding.
Can you go to C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server\config and provide encoding.xml via privatebin.net?
And fresh screenshots of Dashboard > Playback > Transcoding
RE: hardware setup - tvrb - 2025-03-14
thank you so much (again)!
(windows os 11 so maybe different file directory from what you suggested)
from:
C:\Program Files\Jellyfin\ServerData\config
encoding.xml =

before my prior post, i made a new user and signed that into the chromecast to be sure there were default player settings:

/dev/dri/renderD128 is a linux directory. Do not use that with Windows. Just leave the VAAPI device field blank and try again.
