HW transcoding not working... Cannot load libcuda.so.1 - WuNgUn - 2023-12-23
UnRAID 6.9.2
Have a GTX960 mounted in my server for HW transcoding. Using official Jellyfin docker.
HW transcoding enabled in options.
Tried with and without the usual --runtime=nvidia and visible devices/capabilities = all variables added.
Makes no diff
Ffmpeg log spits out this....
[AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x561dfb9d1a80] Cannot load libcuda.so.1
[AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x561dfb9d1a80] Could not dynamically load CUDA
Device creation failed: -1.
Failed to set value 'cuda=cu:0' for option 'init_hw_device': Operation not permitted
Error parsing global options: Operation not permitted
I'm not very fluent with unraid or Linux but I can fluff my way around. But I can't figure this one out. 🤷
Nvidia driver 515.43.04 installed
Shows my GPU present
Anyone have any ideas, would be greatly appreciated.

did you follow https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-jellyfin/#nvidia ?

Apparently I need nvidia toolkit? Except, I don't know how to dowmload/install it outsode of unraid Gui docker screen.... And it ain't there.
Did I mention I was a newb?

That looks like it KINDA worked...
HEVC 4K content plays now (yay!) but CPU's still taking a big hit.
But GPU is showing an active process but the encoder is only seeing 6 to 9% utilization...? 🤷
Edit: enabling HEVC (H265) transcoding fixed it. I was testing a 4k HEVC movie with it switched off and therefore was seeing the high CPU load and low GPU utilization.
