Jellyfin does not trancscode 4K HEVC in web player - bioblatt - 2024-07-24

The video stream starts and stops again after just a fraction of a second when trying to play 4K HEVC files. 
It looks like it's not transcoding at all. Switching from QSV to VA-API makes no difference.

My server runs on Debian Bookworm (6.1.0-21-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.90-1 (2024-05-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux)
I've attached all logs with the transcoding settings.

Here's all the output for my CPU:

Can somebody please help me? Because I have a few users are sometimes using their browsers or the phone app with the default player and they are now unable to stream 4K content.

Thank you very much for the support!

RE: Jellyfin does not trancscode 4K HEVC in web player - TheDreadPirate - 2024-07-24

You enabled AV1 encoding, but Rocket Lake does not support encoding AV1. Only decoding AV1.

RE: Jellyfin does not trancscode 4K HEVC in web player - bioblatt - 2024-07-24

Ok I disabled AV1 encoding and restarted the server once again (I tried that already yesterday that's why I just kept it enabled) but still with no success.

RE: Jellyfin does not trancscode 4K HEVC in web player - TheDreadPirate - 2024-07-24

Share the latest ffmpeg log after disabling AV1? Did you also install the Intel OpenCL package?

RE: Jellyfin does not trancscode 4K HEVC in web player - bioblatt - 2024-07-24

Please find the log attached.
Yes, intel-opencl-icd is installed.

Code:
apt policy intel-opencl-icd

RE: Jellyfin does not trancscode 4K HEVC in web player - TheDreadPirate - 2024-07-24

I just remembered something. #3 in this doc.

https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/known-issues#intel-on-linux

Quote:The kernel range from 5.18 to 6.1.3 have an issue that locks up and resets the i915 kernel driver when using OpenCL based HDR/DV tone-mapping. Linux 5.18-, 6.0.18+, 6.1.4+ are not affected.

Ticket: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/7627

Fixed by: drm/i915: improve the catch-all evict to handle lock contention

Looking at your fix post, I see the resets.

Code:
[374749.835468] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] av:hevc:df0[3435242] context reset due to GPU hang
[374750.867290] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] GPU HANG: ecode 12:4:28fffffd

Consider updating to a newer/patched kernel.

RE: Jellyfin does not trancscode 4K HEVC in web player - TheDreadPirate - 2024-07-24

I might be wrong. Looked at your first post again and saw that Debian's 6.1.0-21 is based on 6.1.90.

RE: Jellyfin does not trancscode 4K HEVC in web player - bioblatt - 2024-07-24

Thanks. I've updated to 6.5.0 using the following commands:

Code:
echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-backports main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list
sudo apt install -t bullseye-backports linux-image-6.5.0-0.deb12.1-amd64
sudo reboot

uname -a gives me now
Code:
6.5.0-0.deb12.1-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.5.3-1~bpo12+1 (2023-10-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux

But the issue still remains. Am I missing something?

RE: Jellyfin does not trancscode 4K HEVC in web player - bioblatt - 2024-07-24

Ok I just saw your reply and changed back to 6.1.0-23-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.99-1 (2024-07-15) x86_64 GNU/Linux

RE: Jellyfin does not trancscode 4K HEVC in web player - TheDreadPirate - 2024-07-24

What happens when you disable low power encoding in Dashboard > Playback? I was comparing your dmesg output with mine and noticed something with the HuC/GuC messages. The firmware is there, but may not be enabled/loaded. They are required for low power encoding, but Rocket Lake can still function without low power encoding enabled.
