Jellyfin Server as TrueNAS App - iGPU not encoding - Any tips? - pwwuk - 2025-08-15
New to Linux & TrueNAS - building home server whilst recovering from an operation.
Jellyfin running good however transcoding using lots of CPU.
In the App Config I have
Passthrough available (non-NVIDIA) GPUs
selected
In Jellyfin Setting when I select transcode to:
"Hardware acceleration
Video Acceleration API (VAAPI)
VA-API Device
/dev/dri/renderD128
This is the render node that is used for hardware acceleration."
Nothing plays that requires transcoding. Set to none and returns to working…
My questions are:-
Should this work ? If not what have I messed up?
Some posts say needs a ‘Docker’ install to get working, No idea where to start as there is no ‘docker’ tab in my install
Any pointers much appreciated.
