Can you share what you have in /etc/pve/lxc/<CONTAINER_ID>.conf.

Sure thing!

Wait. Hold on. So this is Proxmox > Ubuntu > then install directly on Ubuntu?

If so you also need to make sure the same Intel packages are installed in Ubuntu. You SHOULDN'T need to modify the apt config since Ubuntu includes non-free by default.

And you would need to add the jellyfin user to the render group within Ubuntu.

No, it's a LXC Container with Jellyfin installed (I guess based on ubuntu). 

So Proxmox > LXC Container

I'm so confused, since as you saw the gpu is doing something if I play a 4k movie on my pc, it's only happening for 4k content on the chromecast 4k...

[TheDreadPirate]

On the PC it is probably locally tone mapping and no transcoding is occurring. Your iGPU supports HEVC 10-bit....Can you share screenshots of Dashboard > Playback?

It's in german, I hope that's not a problem. 

The menu items should be in the same position. 



I mean I could delete the LXC and redo everything I did, but that would be my least option

[TheDreadPirate]

This is the client Playback menu. I need the one in the dashboard.

Sure, there you go

Uncheck low power encoding for HEVC. The 7500T can only support low power encoding for H264.

You saved my day! 

Thank you so so much.

Now my Render/3D is at 100% and I get like 2 FPS. 

I now understand that my hardware is not sufficient for 4K HEVC.

How can I still get 4K movies to run in high quality?

Do I need 4K videos in H264?

[TheDreadPirate]

2 FPS is kind of low. The 7500T should be able to tone map at an acceptable rate like maybe 30-40FPS. How much memory is your iGPU being allocated (this is a BIOS setting IIRC)? Tone mapping is VRAM intensive.

The cheapest option might be to throw in a GPU? If you have a 10 series Nvidia GPU laying around, that would work great. Intel Arc GPUs are dirt cheap and super fast for transcoding.
