Jellyfin-ffmeg without Jellyfin - NeuroDawg - 2023-11-28
I was wondering. I have Jellyfin installed in a Docker container. I also use ffmeg on my Ubuntu server on occasion to manipulate video files. I've struggled to get ffmeg installed with nvenc capabilities, and was wondering if it is possible to install only jellyfin-ffmeg on my server for use, without installing the rest of Jellyfin?
Second question. If I can't do the above, and successfully get ffmpeg compiled with nvidia support, is "tonemap_cuda" an available filter, or is it specific to jellyfin-ffmpeg? If not specific to Jellyfin, can anyone point me to documentation describing the options to use with it? I would really like to use it from the cli.
Thanks.

You can install jellyfin-ffmpeg by itself by installing the Jellyfin repo (https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/linux/#repository-manual)
After the repo is configured you can install jellyfin-ffmpeg like any other package

why install ffmpeg twice and configure it twice; if jellyfin in a docker on the server has it then use it from the container, thats what i do
docker exec -it jellyfin bash
then you can use it by executing /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg

I had connected to a cli in the container but couldn't find the jellyfin-ffmpeg executables. Thanks!
