Help with transcoding - troothdotcom - 2024-09-25

I recently upgraded to this  https://www.amazon.com/Beelink-Intel-N100-Computer-Desktop-Display/dp/B0BVFS94J5?th=1 and I set up Jellyfin through docker compose but now I'm not sure how to proceed to be able to use hardware acceleration. I tried chat-gpt but it just confused me more. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

What OS are you running on? We have documentation for docker compose setup of Intel GPUs.

https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/intel/#official-docker

Pretty simple. Just add this to your compose.

Code:
devices:
      - /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128
    group_add:
      - "993" # Change this to match your "render" host group id and remove this comment

The group_add requires that you run a couple commands (documented in the link) to find the proper ID number on your system for the render group. Here is my full docker compose as an example.

Code:
services:
  jellyfin-testing:
    image: jellyfin/jellyfin:10.9.11
    container_name: jellyfin-testing
    user: 110:110
    group_add:
      - "993" # Intel render group
    networks:
      [censored bridge name]:
        ipv4_address: 172.16.100.2
    expose:
      - 8096
    volumes:
      - ./jellyfin-stable-data/config:/config
      - ./jellyfin-stable-data/cache:/cache
      - /media/library:/media/library:ro
      - /media/storage2:/media/storage2
      - /media/ramdisk:/media/ramdisk
    devices:
      - /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128
    environment:
      - TZ=America/New_York
    restart: 'unless-stopped'

Thank you this was very detailed. I am using Ubuntu server OS and docker compose and still fairly new to all this so I am not sure what i am doing wrong but the issue I am having right now is that I don't seem to have a /dev/dri directory.  Do I have to create my own or should it have been created when downloading the drivers?

RE: Help with transcoding - TheDreadPirate - 2024-09-25

And I'm assuming you mean you don't have a /dev/dri directory on the host.

What version of Ubuntu? Intel's drivers are built into the Linux kernel, as long as your kernel is new enough.

Code:
cat /etc/os-release
uname -a

Share the output of those two commands.

I got it! Thanks
i had to run sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-22.04

RE: Help with transcoding - TheDreadPirate - 2024-09-25

Ah. So you were on kernel 5.15 on Ubuntu 22.04. That will do it.

RE: Help with transcoding - troothdotcom - 2024-09-26

Thank you so much! Finally got Jellyfin working and transcoding how I wanted. You're the best.
