HW transcoding on a i5-8500T - debug - 2025-07-18 I am failing to set up HW transcoding on my i5-8500T after spending hours on it. Can you help find out where the issue is? In the Jellyfin transcoding UI i have selected Intel QuickSync and QSV device as /dev/dri/renderD128 I am attempting to play this file: https://4kmedia.org/lg-chess-hdr-demo/ Docker compose file below. GIDs selected appropriately given the system GIDs. Right now the file fails to play (just loads forever) and even other content fails to play. services: jellyfin: image: jellyfin/jellyfin:10.10.7 user: 1000:1000 container_name: jellyfin network_mode: 'host' volumes: - /home/administrator/server/local_NVME/docker/jellyfin/config ![]() - /home/administrator/server/local_NVME/docker/jellyfin/cache ![]() - /home/administrator/server/local_NVME/docker/jellyfin/jellyfin ![]() - /home/administrator/server/NAS/Media ![]() devices: - /dev/dri/renderD128 ![]() group_add: - "993" # GID for 'render' - "44" # GID for 'video' restart: 'unless-stopped' environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD - FFREPORT=file=/config/logs/ffmpeg-report.log:level=32 Logs (sudo docker logs jellyfin | grep -i qsv): Code: [/color] The file seems to play after about 15 minutes of transcoding and even then it is supper choppy. I got this machine in the hopes that I can use this for Jellyfin transcoding and perhaps I did not make the right choice here. RE: HW transcoding on a i5-8500T - smoothie - 2025-07-19 I can transcode 3 concurrent files on a 7500T 1L HP mini pc so your 8500T is all good. The difference is I am not using docker and have it installed on bare metal with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS I am not sure how to help you with your issue but I just wanted to let you know the hardware is all good, so once you fix the config you're all set RE: HW transcoding on a i5-8500T - debug - 2025-07-19 Sounds great, thank you. I appreciate the data point. |
