Error transcoding - barukh27 - 2025-12-11

Hi there!

I'm struggling with the transcoding config.

I use a N150 mini pc as server.

Under the transcoding section I have:

But whenever I try to play a video via chrome I get a fatal error.

My ffmpeg logs reads as follows:

RE: Error transcoding - ArneR - 2025-12-11

First, Select Intel Quicksync and enable AV1 decoding.
Second, AV1 encoding, according to this thread N150 doesn't support encoding to AV1:

Your processor does not support Encoding in AV1, turn that off.

Then enable
Hardware Encoding Options:
Enable Intel Low-Power H.264 hardware encoder
Enable Intel Low-Power HEVC hardware encoder
Enable VPP tonemapping and Enable tone mapping.

You should be good to go now.

Thank for your help.

I followed your suggestions. But I still get the same error.

I forgot to mentioned I run jellyfin via docker.

Code:
services:

  jellyfin:

    image: jellyfin/jellyfin:latest

    container_name: jellyfin

    devices:

      - /dev/dri:/dev/dri # Pass the GPU device

    group_add:

      - video # Add user to video group

.....

And I try to play the video in a Chromebook with Chrome.

Tanks!

No, you're still enconding to AV1, disable that. "Permitir la codificación en formato AV1"

The issue persists.

This is a completely different issue, try scanning your library again, as it seems like you're having problems with your storage.
