Jellyfin on Ubuntu Server 24.04. - KraSys - 2025-09-16
Good afternoon, dear forum users. I have a media server running in Hyper-V on an Ubuntu server. I decided to add a GPU to the Ubuntu server in order to use hardware acceleration. The GPU was successfully added, but I was unable to use hardware acceleration. When I enabled the Nvidia NVENC profile, ffmpeg crashed with the error "Provided device doesn't support required NVENC features
Error while opening encoder - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height." I suspect that this is due to the fact that instead of using the GPU, ffmpeg is trying to use hyperv_drmdrmfb. Are there any ways to work around this issue?

Looks like you have AV1 encoding enabled and your device doesn't support that. Go to Dashboard > Playback > Transcoding and uncheck "Allow encoding in AV1 format". Depending on the GPU, it may not support other codecs in there either. Check the NVIDIA codec matrix.
