SOLVED: Arc A380 transcoding suddently stopped working

[juki]

I don't know why this would happen after an update, but double check that jellyfin is still in the correct render group.

Yep, appears so...

Code:

$ groups jellyfin
jellyfin : jellyfin video render media

(media is the group for the media drive)

---

I'm not sure this is even anything in particular to do with Jellyfin, installing libva-utilis and running vainfo gives a similar error with the OS va libs

Code:

$ sudo vainfo
[sudo] password for ghostpirate:

I just don't know who else to ask, my google skills have failed me thus far! 🙃
