Hi there,
I host a Jellyfin server installed on a LXC container on a Debian 12 system on my Proxmox home server. I use my Nvidia GPU for transcoding and I followed the official tutorial for the installation https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/admini...on/nvidia/
Everything works fine.
My issue is that for Nvidia GPU transcoding to work with Jellyfin, I had to install the 2 packages
My question is this : is there a way to transcode in Jellyfin on a Debian system without requiring these 2 old packages ?
* Can I for instance use Nvidia Video codec SDK instead of them ?
* Can I recompile these 2 packages with newest Nvidia drivers and if so, can you point me to some resources about how to recompile them ?
* Do I need to recompile ffmpeg7 with the newest Nvidia driver ?
* Is there any other way ?

My issue is that for Nvidia GPU transcoding to work with Jellyfin, I had to install the 2 packages
libnvcuvid1 libnvidia-encode1 from the Debian repository and these packages are old. Installing them forces me to use old Nvidia drivers. This is for me an issue because I need newer drivers to install CUDA drivers and use my GPU for other purpose such as AI training.My question is this : is there a way to transcode in Jellyfin on a Debian system without requiring these 2 old packages ?
