SOLVED: Problem transcoding with QSV on Intel ARC A380 on Debian 12 bookworm

[ainmosni]

Hey all,

When I try to play certain videos via the Android app, I get the following error:



When looking at the logs, I see an ffmpeg command followed by

Code:

[12:34:20] [ERR] [303] Jellyfin.Api.Helpers.TranscodingJobHelper: FFmpeg exited with code 1

When I enter the container and run the command in the logs I see the following:

Code:

My playback config page looks like this:






My jellyfin server is running in a container running privileged in a single node kubernetes cluster.

The image I'm using is the official image:

Code:

docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin@sha256:41fc4f9a51f638930bf16eace81acacbafaf26436d0efc0b0edd9447cb134a2c

The Jellyfin version in this image is

Code:

10.8.13

And the video cards are an integrated radeon card, that I don't want to use, and an intel ARC a380 that I'm trying to use via QSV.

The video does play properly when played on my laptop through firefox or on my LG TV via the WebOS app.

This is probably something I'm missing, but this is not my speciality,

Thanks in advance.
