    Hi,
    I'm trying to get hardware transcoding to work on my server but I don't know why it won't work.
    My Jellyfin server is running in a docker container.
    Jellyfin Server version is 10.10.7
    The CPU is an Intel Pentium Gold 8505
    I added the user to the "render" group, and added the group number and render devices in my docker.compose, following the documentation.
    But I have a feeling that the issue is still related to user group or at least to user.
    I'm using Portainer. If I open a container console with user "root", running the "/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/vainfo" command, returns a list of profile.
    But if I do the same thing whith a console with user "1000", then the command returns an error.
    Because of this, I guess that the issue is not with the transcoding settings but maybe with the container settings ?

    When trying to play a movie with transcoding, the error shown in the logs is
    Code:
    Failed to set value 'vaapi=va:,vendor_id=0x8086,driver=iHD' for option 'init_hw_device': Generic error in an external library
    Error parsing global options: Generic error in an external library


    Here is my docker.compose :
    Code:
    services:
      jellyfin:
        image: jellyfin/jellyfin:latest
        container_name: Jellyfin-HT
        user: 1000:10
        group_add:
          - '105'
        environment:
          TZ: Europe/Paris
        volumes:
          - /volume1/docker/jellyfinht/config:/config:rw
          - /volume1/docker/jellyfinht/cache:/cache:rw
          - /volume1/docker/jellyfinht/logs:/logs:rw
          - type: bind
            source: /volume1/Jellyfin/Films
            target: /movies
          - type: bind
            source: /volume1/Jellyfin/Séries
            target: /tvshows
          - type: bind
            source: /volume1/Jellyfin/Musique
            target: /music
        devices:
          - /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128
          - /dev/dri/card0:/dev/dri/card0
        restart: on-failure:5
        network_mode: host

    Thank you for your help
