Transcoding setup issues

[Deegee88]

Same issue - with "Enable hardware encoding" checked https://sourceb.in/vfzXnIjQaO
and without - https://sourceb.in/e9f3bH1HVS

This is the log from when I select "none" in hardware acceleration - https://sourceb.in/mdfXE2s8WF
This is the only way it works.

Run the validation steps for docker, #5 and 6 in the docker section.

https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/admini...ial-docker

What is the output?

[Deegee88]

When I try this in the shell I just get the error "Docker not found".
"$ docker exec -it jellyfin /usr/lib/jellygin-ffmpeg/vainfo
/bin/sh: 1: docker: not found"

Apparently they've completely removed docker from Truenas Scale now.

If you open up the shell for the Jellyfin container you can simply run

/usr/lib/jellygin-ffmpeg/vainfo

And

/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg -v verbose -init_hw_device vaapi=va -init_hw_device opencl@va

The "docker exec" bit just lets you run commands inside the container from the host shell.

[Deegee88]

So for #5:
"$ /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/vainfo
Trying display: drm
error: failed to initialize display"

and #6:
"$ /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg -v verbose -init_hw_device vaapi=va -init_hw_device opencl@va
/bin/sh: 2: /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg: Permission denied"

And that was done inside the Jellyfin container? Looking over the screenshots you provided, I don't see a way to pass in the GID for the render group from the host.

On the host

Code:

getent group render | cut -d: -f3

If this was a plain docker compose setup you would add the GID from the above command to your yaml.

Code:

group_add:
      - "122" # Change this to match your "render" host group id and remove this comment

Is there an equivalent "group_add" in the UI?

[Deegee88]

This is the only thing i can see that has anything to do with Groups.

[TheDreadPirate]

https://www.truenas.com/docs/scale/scale...psscreens/

So there is a separate groups screen. Add the render group if it isn't there. Then add UID 568 as a member?

[Deegee88]

Okay i've added 568 (apps) to the group called Render.
Do I have to change the group ID within the container from 568 to render?

[TheDreadPirate]

No. That should stay as is. My understanding is that UID 568 being in the render group should be the equivalent of "group_add" in a plain docker setup.
