Hardware Acceleration Transcoding Failing on RX 9070 XT - Farhan - 2025-08-24

I’m running into a problem with Jellyfin on Windows 11 using an AMD RX 9070 XT. When I enable Hardware Acceleration, the video plays for a few seconds, then rewinds repeatedly, and I eventually get this error:

A fatal error was encountered in the HLS stream

Setup:

GPU: AMD RX 9070 XT

OS: Windows 11

Jellyfin server version: 10.10.7 

Decoding works fine without issues

Hardware acceleration should be supported

What I’ve tried:

Using FFmpeg directly with these commands:


ffmpeg -hwaccel dxva2 -i input1.mp4 -c:v av1_amf output.mp4

ffmpeg -hwaccel dxva2 -i input1.mp4 -c:v hevc_amf output.mp4

ffmpeg -hwaccel dxva2 -i input1.mp4 -c:v h264_amf output.mp4

All of them worked fine in the terminal.

I tried looking through the FFmpeg logs but couldn’t figure out the cause.

Logs:

Jellyfin log: https://pastebin.com/uBrrHebY


Has anyone experienced something similar with AMD GPUs and Jellyfin on Windows?
