Android TV client issue - connor - 2023-09-07
i have a RTX 2080 graphics card installed on my jellyfin server. When I use the ios and Android clients, the server can use the graphics card to decode normally, but the Android TV client cannot. The graphics card usage of the server is 0,so how can i fix this issue,

If the client is direct playing your content it won't use your graphics card. Only if it is transcoding will your graphics card be used.
When you watch on your Android TV does it play the video at all?

I have installed jellyfin android tv client, and I use this client to play video, no matter I choose vlc or other media player in jellyfin client, it can play very well! But no matter which player is used, the graphics card on the server side cannot be called

I'm not sure I understand what the problem is.
The video plays on the Android TV client, right?
The GPU is only used if the client NEEDS the video to be transcoded. If the client can play the video without transcoding the GPU will not be used. This is normal.
