Hi, i tried to setup a jellyfin LXC container in my Proxmox VE, playback using software decoding works, hardware decoding does not.
For setup, i mostly followed this Guide . I'll attach an error log to the post.
Curiously, when I run the command from the log inside the shell of the LXC, it seems to work fine (as in, it produces files in the transcodes directory, which does not happen when I try to play a file via the web UI).
At first, I suspected a permissions error, since the shell runs as root and Jellyfin has it's own user. But "/var/chache/jellyfin" and the transcodes directory both belong to the user Jellyfin (I assume the directory is created by jellyfin, I did not change any of the permissions).
Any help would be appreciated.
This is the command:
This is the ls output:
