ffmpeg exited with code 171 - harsha narla - 2024-12-25
I have this hardware:
CPU: Intel Intel i5-10500T (12) @ 3.800GHz
GPU: Intel CometLake-S GT2 [UHD Graphics 630]
Ram: 8GB
followed official linux setup guide on my server for harware acceleration (linux setup)
When i turn on transcoding and set to QSV / VA API, the playback stops (those that require transcoding) , I get
Playback error
playback failed due to fatal error
when digged through logs found out this line
[ERR]FFmpeg exited with code 171
files that doesn't require transcoding or when transcoding is set to off (which makes cpu transcoding) it is working fine but loads system a lot,
I want to use hardware transcoding . get struct at this ffmpeg error

I don't know if this will help, but here is a list of what is supported by gpu. Verify with your transcoding settings in Jellyfin.

I hope it helps.

Can you share your ffmpeg log via pastebin? That log would container more information about the video itself and your settings.
