FFmpeg exited with code 187 - testomat - 2025-06-07 Hi, im new to jellyfin and need help. When i play some videos, i got a playback fail. I have a Lenovo M720q with i5 8500T CPU, running unraid and jellyfin in a docker container. I attached an error log. Whenever you need more infos, just leave a message. Thanks. RE: FFmpeg exited with code 187 - theguymadmax - 2025-06-07 Post the ffmpeg logs and your docker file. RE: FFmpeg exited with code 187 - testomat - 2025-06-07 Where i can find the ffmpeg logs ? I installed jellyfin via unraid app store. So how i can get the docker file ? RE: FFmpeg exited with code 187 - testomat - 2025-06-07 I found the logs for the ffmpeg. See log.txt   Log.txt (Size: 6.1 KB / Downloads: 29) RE: FFmpeg exited with code 187 - theguymadmax - 2025-06-07 I'm unfamiliar with unriad. But it sounds like you didn't pass the GPU into the container. It should be in the advanced view as described in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2Fz823YjUY&t=711s RE: FFmpeg exited with code 187 - testomat - 2025-06-08 i added the parameter in the docker container --device=/dev/dri, but it doesn't work. The /dri directory does not exist in jellyfin. Is it a problem with the user rights ? RE: FFmpeg exited with code 187 - testomat - 2025-06-08 That was a good tip, thanks. I got the solution now. I have to add two devices in my docker container for passthrough --device /dev/dri/renderD128dev/dri/renderD128 --device /dev/dri/card0dev/dri/card0 Then it works. It can be closed here.
