Jellyfin transcoding with AMD iGPU

[pwetzor]

Hi Everyone,

I recently acquired a mini PC with an AMD Ryzen 5 5625U processor and set up Jellyfin within a container on TrueNAS Scale, running on a Proxmox server
I've successfully passed through my AMD iGPU and enabled hardware acceleration. The setup is working well overall, but I'm facing issues with certain videos not playing.

When attempting to play these files, I encounter the following message: 
"This client isn't compatible with the media, and the server isn't sending a compatible media format." 

I've experimented with different transcoding options, toggling various checkboxes, trying both AMD AMF and VAAPI, and even encoding in HEVC format. However, I haven't been able to find the right settings that allow all of my files to play.
A quick note: If I disable hardware acceleration in Jellyfin, the problematic files play without any issues. Therefore, it's not an inherent problem with the files themselves.

I am a beginner in video transcoding, so I would greatly appreciate your help and insights regarding the appropriate configuration for my case and the reasons behind it.

Thank you for your help.
