Unable to install jellyfin-ffmpeg7 - Abstra208 - 2024-12-07

I was looking online on how to add AMD gpu acceleration because my gpu in my server could destroy the encoding capabilities of my cpu.
I looked into installing jellyfin-ffmpeg7 because it is supposed to have the driver and settings required. I just seem to not be able to install it.

Here is the output of the install command:

Code:
Home@Server:~$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install jellyfin-ffmpeg7

How are you running Jellyfin now? I see that you have the docker repo setup. Are you running Jellyfin in Docker? If so, jellyfin-ffmpeg is already part of the docker image.

And what GPU do you have?

RE: Unable to install jellyfin-ffmpeg7 - Abstra208 - 2024-12-08

I am running the Docker container, yes.
When running:

Code:
sudo lshw -C display

it tells me that I have a Radeon RX 470/480/570/570X/580/580X/590.
I won't open my server because of it current position.

I am trying to use this documentation: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/amd/. Would that work with the docker?
Else how could I add hardware acceleration using the docker?

Thanks again.

Don't expect much out of that GPU family. Their encoders aren't great, but may still be preferable to CPU encoding.

How is your docker container setup? Are you using docker compose? What do you have in there right now?

RE: Unable to install jellyfin-ffmpeg7 - Abstra208 - 2024-12-08

I am managing the docker using Portainer and CasaOS.
Still on the default container's settings.

In their UI there should be a setting to pass in GPUs. If it isn't a drop down, and asks for the device path, it is /dev/dri/renderD128.
