SOLVED: Hardware acceleration on Unraid issues

[bitmap]

You could easily change your transcode directory. You have to map that volume in your Compose file, then change that setting in your admin Dashboard. This is different than the cache directory I mentioned earlier. If your transcode directory is on a slower disk or one that experiences high I/O traffic, that could impact performance, but you'd expect to see that in the logs (or somewhere).

Worth a shot. Just make sure you don't map it anywhere that other data exists. Jellyfin will erase that data (as the transcode directory is meant to be ephemeral. You can also try a RAM disk, but that's a little bit of extra configuration and requires that the host have considerable available memory.
