Setup
Hardware
Intel® Xeon® CPU E5-2678 v3 @ 2.50GHz
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super
32 GB ECC memory
a bunch of drives
Software
Hypervisor: Proxmox version 8.1.3 (running kernel: 6.5.11-7-pve)
VM: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
Docker container: jellyfin/jellyfin:latest (dashboard says jellyfin version 10.8.13)
Issue Description
When I play a 4K movie with hardware acceleration on, it transcodes it to something Firefox can handle but drops frames or stutters. If I turn off hardware acceleration, it may occasionally drop a frame or stutter, but less than with using the GPU. It seems to be the same results with different movies.
I suspect it could be related to the virtualization/containerization, but I am open to suggestions. I have passed my GPU through from Proxmox to the VM to the Jellyfin container. I have "confirmed" that the container is using the GPU by running nvidia-smi in the container while transcoding. If there is a better way to confirm it's working correctly, I'm willing to try it. I attached my FFMpeg and system logs.
