HEVC playback not working (fatal playback error) - VanKurt - 2024-06-21
I am running Jellyfin 10.9.6 on Docker (Ubuntu Server on a Proxmox VM).
The iGPU (Intel N100) is (hopefully) correctly passed through to the VM.
In the Jellyfin settings I have enabled hardware acceleration via Intel QuickSync (QSV).
What works:
I can play back all kinds of videos, including H264 encoded material. No problem at all.
What does not work:
Playing back HEVC / H265 content does not work. It gives me the error: Playback failed due to a fatal player error.
In the logs I can find the following output:

I also have attached full log files from the docker container and the Web UI below.
Can anyone help me figure this out? Thank you :-)

Can you show us your docker compose file?
Also, do you have IOMMU/VTd enabled in your BIOS?
Also, is it a VM or an LXC?
RE: HEVC playback not working (fatal playback error) - VanKurt - 2024-06-21
Aye,
here's the docker compose:
Code:
version: "3"
services:
jellyfin:
container_name: jellyfin
image: jellyfin/jellyfin:latest
network_mode: host
environment:
TZ: 'Europe/Berlin'
ports:
- 8096:8096
volumes:
- '/volume1/docker/jellyfin/config:/config'
- '/volume1/docker/jellyfin/cache:/etc/cache'
- '/volume1/videos/Movies:/Media/Movies'
- '/volume1/videos/TVShows:/Media/TVShows'
- '/volume1/music/Albums:/Media/Music'
restart: unless-stoppedIOMMU/VTd should be enabled. Also it's a VM, not a LXC.

You did not pass GPU into the container. Add this to your docker compose.
Code:
devices:
- /dev/dri/:/dev/dri/RE: HEVC playback not working (fatal playback error) - VanKurt - 2024-06-21
Yes, you were right. I just went through the docs once more. This is how my docker compose looks now:
Code:
version: "3"
services:
jellyfin:
container_name: jellyfin
image: jellyfin/jellyfin:latest
network_mode: host
environment:
TZ: 'Europe/Berlin'
group_add:
- "993"
devices:
- /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128
ports:
- 8096:8096
volumes:
- '/volume1/docker/jellyfin/config:/config'
- '/volume1/docker/jellyfin/cache:/etc/cache'
- '/volume1/videos/Movies:/Media/Movies'
- '/volume1/videos/TVShows:/Media/TVShows'
- '/volume1/music/Albums:/Media/Music'
restart: unless-stoppedNow it's working perfectly. Thank you so much
