Did you pass the GPU into the container?

Hi,
I'm pretty new to all this. What does this mean, and how am i supposed to do it?

IIRC, there is a setting for the Jellyfin container called "Resource Allocation" in the TrueNAS UI. Under that is "GPU Resource". In there you'd assign your Intel GPU to the container.
