Cannot hardware transcode HVEC HDR - punksinatra - 2024-01-25

General Info:

Jellyfin 10.8.13
Jellyfin Linux Docker using linuxserver.io
Server specs i5-8500T, 16GB Ram, Debian 11

Issue: Getting "Playback Error. This client isn't compatible with the media and the server isn't sending a compatible media format" when trying to hardware transcode hvec hdr videos.

Devices (all of which cannot playback HVEC HDR videos):

PC using chrome, firefox, edge
Android phone
Xioami P1 55 TV using jellyfin app

More Information:

Videos playback when I disable hardware acceleration
HVEC SDR playback has no issues either hardware acceleration on or off
Tried both Intel Quicksync and VAAPI same issue
Confirmed transcoding works on all other type of videos
Confirmed direct play for HVEC other than HVEC HDR works on devices that support it like Microsoft Edge

Docker compose

You need to add the LSIO Intel OpenCL mod to your compose file.

https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-mods/tree/jellyfin-opencl-intel

I believe you add this to your environment section of your compose file

Code:
- DOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/mods:jellyfin-opencl-intel

Not really sure if I am blind but I didn't seem to read about this in the LSIO github page.

Thank you very much that seems to have fixed the issue. I tested on multiple devices including my TV and HVEC HDR plays fine now.
