How about this?
Code:sudo dmesg | grep i915
If that doesn't return anything, reboot and then re-run the command. The dmesg log doesn't retain a lot and your system isn't preserving logs.
Got lot of errors I didn't have before.
Still didn't rebooted the server.

You probably need to update your GPUs firmware. The last time I saw this, the user had PRE-release firmware on their Arc GPU.
I wrote a guide for doing this in Linux in the walkthrough section.

Proceed at your own risk. Your OTHER option is to chuck this GPU in a Windows system and use the Windows driver installer to update the firmware. No idea why Intel bundles a firmware updater in Windows but doesn't use any of the multiple ways to update firmware in Linux.

The last time I did that update on windows was in August. I'm going to update Jellyfin and do the firmware update this weekend.
Intel ARC works very weird sometimes.
Thanks for the help, I'll write here when I did all the work.

Do you remember if there was a separate firmware installer that ran? I've only updated Arc in Linux, so I don't know the specifics of how it works in Windows.
Maybe check the firmware version you have installed before attempting to update in Linux? As long as the firmware is not from early to mid 2022, it probably fine. 2023 and newer is definitely fine.

This has happened several times and it is solved like this.

In Windows, the firmware is supposedly updated when you update the drivers, but not with windows update:

I don't know how to check the firmware version I have installed on Debian.
Anyway, this weekend I will install Windows on a drive and update the graphics card.

I am having the same exact error using a NVIDIA Tesla M40 12GB. I've included my FFMPEG logs.

What driver version are you running?

What distro are you running and is there any virtualization?

I am running Debian Bookworm (12) and running Jellyfin using Docker. I do have other applications that use the GPU on Docker and they do work correctly. Other than Docker, I am not using any other type of virtualization, like VMs.
