Trying to get Hardware Acceleration working - pika - 2023-11-26
Hey guys! I'm trying to get hardware acceleration working within my JellyFin container
Here's my setup:
Docker Container (docker-compose) for JellyFin
Host: Arch linux
GT 710 passed into container with nvidia-container-toolkit
docker-compose.yml file:

I am able to enter the container via "sudo docker exec -it ab8dc79c17ae bash" which I can then execute nvidia-smi which shows the GT 710, meaning I know it's in the container. However, there are no processes running on it.
The GT 710 I have found supports a form of NVENC, that I'm trying to use in order to significantly reduce CPU usage (it's pegged at 100% on all cores).
Here's what I'm referring to https://gssparks.github.io/post/can-a-geforce-gt710-nvenc/ along other posts floating online.
I have followed the same steps as shown in the link, but I still get a playback error of "This client isn't compatible with the media and the server isn't sending a compatible media format."
The video in question is encoded with NVENC H.264, and is a mkv file.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I know I have the kepler version of the graphics card rather than the worse version that doesn't work with this, as when I run nvidia-SMI, it reads that it's running CUDA 11.4, the same version as in the link (also has the same identifier of GK208B).
Thanks for reading!

I'm wondering if Nvidia dropped support in newer drivers. What Nvidia driver did you install.
RE: Trying to get Hardware Acceleration working - pika - 2023-11-26
I installed the 470 dkms drivers from the AUR, they aren't in the latest nvidia drivers, although I may just run it on my main pc at this point
RE: Trying to get Hardware Acceleration working - TheDreadPirate - 2023-11-26
Did you also install all the encode and decode packages?
RE: Trying to get Hardware Acceleration working - pika - 2023-11-27
Which packages are those? I was only aware of: nvidia-470xx-dkms, nvidia-470xx-utils, lib32-nvidia-470xx-utils, of which I have installed
