Hardware Encoding and Decoding Issues - ad1t1s - 2024-12-21
Hi all, I'm a bit new to Jellyfin and I'm having some issues with hardware acceleration.
I recently set up a server using Fedora Server, Docker, and Jellyfin. I am able to transfer my movie files over and watch them. However, when trying to enable hardware acceleration, specifically hardware decoding and encoding, I run into issues. Whenever I try to enable hardware decoding or encoding, I get a fatal error when I try to play back my media. I'm using VAAPI and /dev/dri/renderD128 as my device.
I'm wondering if there's a way to fix this? I've tried looking at similar issues from other forum users but nothing seems to work. Thanks so much!

Can you share your jellyfin log via pastebin? And screenshots of Dashboard > Playback > Transcoding.
