QSV not working any more - Islam - 2025-06-06
Hoping someone can help get QSV running.
It was previously working on v10.10.3 on Intel 8th gen iGPU, but after changing to 15th gen iGPU transcoding results in Playback Error.
Then also updated to latest v10.10.7 with the additional environment variable for opencl:
services:
jellyfin:
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/jellyfin:latest
container_name: jellyfin
environment:
- DOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/mods:jellyfin-opencl-intel
but still getting same error.
Also tried:
devices:
- /dev/dri:/dev/dri
- /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128
- /dev/dri/card0:/dev/dri/card0
and User added to render and video groups too as before, but still same issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA

15th gen intel requires a fairly new linux kernel ~6.12. Does your environment meet this requirement?
If so, check
sudo dmesg | grep -E "i915|xe" for any related ERROR or FAIL, such as missing firmware.https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/post-install/transcoding/hardware-acceleration/intel#configure-and-verify-lp-mode-on-linux

Hello and thanks for your help.
The Kernel is Linux 6.12.22+bpo-amd64 which I understand is sufficient.
However, sudo dmesg | grep -E "i915|xe" does show a number of ERROR and fails:

I also see it says 'Found METEORLAKE' though I thought 15th gen should say ARROWLAKE.
And should it be 'failed to load i915/mtl...' when the ARC iGPU uses the xe kernel driver instead of the i915 driver (as per the Note is Step 2 from the above link)
And also that it 'Failed to initialize GPU, declaring it wedged!'
Does all this help identify what I can do to resolve the issue?
Thanks.
RE: QSV not working any more - nyanmisaka - 2025-06-07
ARROWLAKE and METEORLAKE share the same iGPU firmware, as they are basically variants of the ARC A-series mobile with different core counts.
Intel does not enable xe kernel driver by default on MTL and ARL, so they should be considered experimental for now. LUNARLAKE and ARC B-series use the xe kernel driver by default. It is recommended that you keep i915 kernel driver for stability.
The error log basically tells you that you need to install the firmware from the linux-firmware repository, and update the initramfs and reboot for it to take effect. There are instructions in the link I mentioned above.

I really appreciate you taking the time to explain so much and pointing me in the right direction. Thanks.
