    So I'm new to Jellyfin, selfhosting and know next to nothing about transcoding.  Just been following the guides.

    I think it's working based on the Playback Info in the client, but just looking for confirmation from more knowledgeable users.

    So first, setup:
    I turned my old gaming PC into a Debian home server. I have a NVidia GTX 2070.

    I'm running Jellyfin in a docker container. I followed the guides on the Jellyfin site to install my Nvidia drivers, the Nvidia docker toolkit, etc.

    I set the NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES and NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES env vars, and also set the gpu with the following:

    "device=GPU-211bc500-a72c-1af2-c289-1e3b472e6417","capabilities=compute,compat32,graphics,utility,display,video"

    The device # I got from checking the NVidia driver.

    I can then run the following: docker exec -it jellyfin nvidia-smi

    And I see this:

    +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+


    So next, I set my Jellyfin transcoding settings as such: https://imgur.com/NgCrN5i 

    When I play a video at 4k@120mbps, I see the following in my playback info on the client: https://imgur.com/diyvS3W

    Does this mean it's working? Is there anything else I can do to verify?

    Like I said, based on the "Transcoding" info in the Playback, it seems to be working, however I'm noticing high CPU usage in "htop" but thought it would impact my GPU more, so I was confused. Perhaps I'm just misunderstanding.

    Thank you
