Transcoding on truenas doesn't work - Artik1 - 2024-06-23
Hello everyone,
I recently installed Jellyfin on my TrueNAS SCALE system and I'm having trouble getting hardware transcoding to work.
Here are my system specs:
CPU: Intel i3-6006U with integrated Intel HD 520 graphics
RAM: 8GB
Storage: 1.5TB HDD and 240GB SSD for boot
I've enabled hardware acceleration via the VA API and disabled transcoding/encoding of unsupported formats following the guidelines from the Intel Quick Sync Video Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video.
Despite this, I'm unable to get transcoding to function properly, whether in 4K or 1080p. In 1080p, I do get remuxing if the original bitrate is very low, but full transcoding just doesn't work.
Has anyone experienced similar issues or have any suggestions on how to resolve this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!Thank you!

Are you using the community app on Scale?
Which user and group are you running the container with?
Could you provide a screenshot of your VAAPI settings in Jellyfin just in case?
Also, for the GPU Resource dropdown, only allocate 1 GPU. You're allocating 5. Jellyfin only ever needs 1 allocated.
