SOLVED: Hardware Acceleration Problems

[Frostlike15]

Hello Jellyfin Forums

I'm trying to set up hardware acceleration for trans-coding support on the 2024042215 (latest nightly build). I've tried both an Nvidia RTX 3060 using NVEMC and a RX 6600 with VA-API. When HW acceleration is turned on, I always get a playback stopped saying Playback failed due to a fatal player error.

I also followed these guides https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/admini...on/nvidia/ 
and https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/admini...ation/amd/ 

They mention something about modifying the user permissions of the jellyfin user account. How do I go about doing that? 

I tried the command sudo usermod -aG video jellyfin but hw accerlation still didn't work.

I also used the default settings that was laid out by the Jellyfin official docs.
