Struggling with Transcoding on Docker - LazarusLong - 2025-09-22

I have Emby running in a Docker container and hardware transcoding using Intel Quick Sync without issues.

Trying to do the same with Jellyfin and can't seem to get it to work.

In Emby, I'm just using this line in my Docker Compose file:

    devices:
      # Optional: For hardware transcoding (e.g., Intel Quick Sync)
      - /dev/driConfused-facedev/dri

Trying to do the same with JF and can't seem to get it to work (although maybe there's a setting in JF I'm missing as well)?

When running ls /dev/dri, these are the results:

by-path  card1  renderD128

Any help would be appreciated!

Actually got it figured out. Looks like the video I was using as a test was HEVC and I just didn't have it enabled for that type!
