can't transcode with a380 on linux

[jravin]

Yup, fun fun.

Some possibilities:

• Missing VAAPI libraries or drivers
  

Install the required VAAPI packages.  Verify this before just copying and pasting, but ...

Code:

/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/apt install intel-media-va-driver libva2 vainfo

*NOTE: I have an Arc B580 and I just about took up drinking trying to get it to work properly.

Test VAAPI:

Code:

vainfo

if that does not work:

Code:

/usr/bin/sudo vainfo

If that does not work, find vainfo and run it directly as it is not listed in the system's path.  This could point to a bad installation, or configuration as well.

Make sure jellyfin has access to /dev/dri :

Code:

sudo usermod -aG video jellyfin

Restart jellyfin.

I am not about docker life, but google says something like: 'docker run --device /dev/dridev/dri ...'

Share logs...

• Incorrect device permissions
  

Check all of the permissions.

• Hardware does not support HEVC hardware codecs (I did not google compatibility here, but please rule this out.)
  
• VAAPI is not configured in Jellyfin
  

In the Trascoding settings, under VAAPI, most likely you will want something like:

Code:

/dev/dri/renderD128
