[PSA] - Nvidia Drivers HEVC Transcoding - DTM450 - 2024-05-28

Hi all,

Just a heads up I had to roll back my NVIDIA drivers to 552.44 and apply the Keylase-Nvenc Patch to restore HEVC transcoding and fix the fatal error message popup with my setup

System Setup:
Windows 10 WSL2
Docker-Desktop v4.30.0
Docker version 26.1.1
Jellyfin version (LinuxServer Docker Image):
Server version 10.9.3
Web version 10.9.3
Build version 10.9.3

Which driver version was the source of your issue? On which GPU? Do you happen to have an ffmpeg log with the error you're describing.

Here is the additional info

Driver Version 555.85 (GRD)
GPU RTX 3080ti
FFMPEG LOG: https://pastebin.com/raw/v4uK8gTR

After doing some digging on the Keylase Git Repo apparently Nvidia has updated something in the new driver that makes it so you no longer require the Keylase Patch but I don't know if I cleaned up my installation properly. Despite running an nvidia/cuda container and it reporting the correct nvidia-smi details on the new driver additional testing was erroring when using the nbody container to test for cuda functionality.

There's nothing we can do since it's an NVIDIA/CUDA driver regression.
