Anyway to force transcoding?

[wolfix1001]

I'm currently using Truenas Scale and I moved over from Jellyfin truecharts, to the official distro.  I'm using an AMD r5 3400ge and I think I have my GPU setup correctly but I don't know how to check.

You should be able to set the bit rate to something below the current bit rate of your media. This will force transcoding.

Ok I tried that and it just crashes, on VA-API or AMF.  For h.265 and h.264.

You'll need to upload logs, both the Jellyfin log and the ffmpeg log, to pastebin, and share them here.

Ok this log is trying to play a video using VA-API https://pastebin.com/h6CK3xcU

It doesn't it is able to use your GPU.

Did you follow the instructions in this section of the AMD HWA guide? You need pass in the group numbers associated with the render and video groups into the container.

I tried but I didn't understand it because I'm using the Truenas Scale app for jellyfin https://imgur.com/a/fBXQFGw

Wooo ok I figured it out, it's actually really simple.

So if you install Jellyfin through the Truenas apps and click edit on it, then go to bottom of that list and you'll find the gpu options. All GPUs by default are set to "allocate 0", just change it to "allocate 1" and it's enabled.
