Can't play handbrake

[onetoomany]

Playback failed due to a fatal player error.
I can play other transcoded H264 movies from WinX DVD in Jellyfin. I can play my trancoded handbrakes in VLC. I can't play them in Jellyfin unless I disable hardware acceleration.

I'm hosting on Proxmox as a container.
Playback settings:
Video Acceleration API (VAAPI)
/dev/dri/renderD128


The log files give me:
[AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x5b07bc82a4c0] No VA display found for any default device.
[AVFilterGraph @ 0x5b07bc822700] Error initializing filter 'hwupload_vaapi'
Error initializing complex filters.
Invalid argument

Un-tick H.264 in both decode and encode in the transcode settings. Restart the server after saving, and try to play them.

What Jellyfin version are you running? Looks like 10.8, maybe 10.9.

What are your hardware specs? Did you pass the GPU into the LXC? Is the LXC privileged or unprivileged?

Sadly, this didn't work - problem still remains.

We still need your hardware specs and the other info I asked for.

I was ON 10.9.11, but have just upgaded to 10.10.3. Upgrade didn't solve the issue.
GPU should be passthrough to the LXC; 
Unprivileged container: No

Hardware specs - I've got an Intel Core i5 11400 11th Gen Rocket Lake 6 Processor, and a separate AMD Radeon R7 - the latter should be passed through.

LXC settings:

Your R7 has no encoder. You Intel iGPU, on the other hand, has a MUCH MUCH better encoder. Shut down your PC, remove the AMD GPU, power it back on and pass in the Intel iGPU.
