Hardware Accell issues on terramaster f4-423 - zapf - 2023-07-25

I have tried 8 different ways to get hardware transcoding to work on my setup, and I have no idea whats going on.
  • unraid 6.12.1
  • terramaster f4-423 (Intel® Celeron® N5095, jasper lake integrated video)
  • jellyfin docker (linuxserver build, not nightly, was unsuccessful with doing this in the "official" build as well). added the path to the /dev/dri as instructed in the notes, I can open the console and see its been mapped correctly
  • go file edited with modprobe i915
  • gpu statistics and intel GPU TOP plugins installed on unraid (done after editing the go file, is the go file change now redundant? should I remove that line, then reinstall the intel_gpu_top plugin?)
  • ffmpeg updated to v6 (same issue appeared in v5)
  • hardware aceleration settings attached. I've tried with an without low power encoding enabled (the NAScompares video doesn't turn it on, but I thought I read in the wiki that you need it for this processor)

Some of my failures to play from the web client (I can direct stream all of this without issue from the jellyfin app my androidtv device, but I'm trying to accommodate other users in the house) were subtitle related, but there are still videos I'm encountering that it fails to transcode. I've attached all the logs that appeared when launching the movie.

edit: added a log for quicksync

First, AV1 should not be checked. Jasper Lake does not support AV1 decoding. MPEG-2 and VP8 and VP9 can be checked, even if your library doesn't contain it currently since Jasper Lake supports accelerating them.

All 3 transcode failures are for XVID encoded videos. I'm honestly not sure if there is any acceleration for such an old codec exists. Or how one would enable that. Really, it should be software decoding them, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

It might be worth considering re-compressing them with a modern codec that Jasper Lake does support accelerating.
