    Pulled the latest docker image, version 10.11.0: https://hub.docker.com/layers/jellyfin/j...4485bb73ed

    Created a container like this;
    Code:
    sudo podman run \
      --detach \
      --name jellyfin \
      --publish 8096:8096/tcp \
      --publish 7359:7359/udp \
      --user 128:136 \ # jellyfin user and group
      --group-add=44 \ # Video group
      --group-add=110 \ # Render group
      --device /dev/dri/:/dev/dri/ \ # VAAPI devices
      --network=host \
      --volume jellyfin-cache:/cache \
      --volume jellyfin-config:/config \
      --mount type=bind,source=/mnt/Movies,destination=/mnt/Movies,ro=true \
      --restart=unless-stopped \
      --label "io.containers.autoupdate=registry" \
      docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:latest

    After this, hardware transcoding was not working inside the container. After some troubleshooting i realized the issue was that the Render group did not exist inside the container (notice there's no name next to id 110):

    Code:
    jellyfin@MyServer:/$ id
    uid=128(jellyfin) gid=136(136) groups=136(136),44(video),110

    I was able to get it working by manually creating the group inside the container:
    Code:
    sudo podman exec --user 0:0 jellyfin groupadd -g 110 render

    Surely the group should have already been there? Or am I missing something obvious?
