HWA Transcoding Not Working (and crashes player) on Intel J4125 (syno DS225+) - Fahid sarker - 2025-07-30

Hi, I have tried a lot of reddit/jellyfin tips on how to enable Hardware acceleration on DS224+/DS225+ (Intel J4125) but can not get it to work.

Here is my docker compose:

Code:
services:

  jellyfin:

    image: jellyfin/jellyfin:latest

    container_name: jellyfin

    network_mode: host

    environment:

      - TZ=Asia/Hong_Kong

    volumes:

      - /volume1/docker/jellyfin/config:/config:rw

      - /volume1/docker/jellyfin/cache:/cache:rw

      - /volume1/docker/jellyfin/logs:/logs:rw

      - /volume1/Media:/media:rw

    devices:

      - /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128

      - /dev/dri/card0:/dev/dri/card0

    restart: unless-stopped

    privileged: true

I also enabled hwa trannscoding in playback settings as such:
