    Jellyfin 10.10.6 in docker on Linux debian 12.9
    Im having troubles playing mpeg2 movies on my Android smartphone. I have tried to use external players as VLC and MPV besides the internal and web player, but im told that the media could not be played due to a fatal error.
    I use Intel Quick Sync, have tried with VAAPI and Video4Linux, but with same result.
    I can play music fine + transcode it and also play h264 movies (bluray rips)
    In the logs i get this:
    Stream mapping:
      Stream #0:0 (mpeg2_qsv) -> setparams:default
      Stream #0:5 (dvdsub) -> scale:default
      overlay_qsv:default -> Stream #0:0 (h264_qsv)
      Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (copy)
    Press [q] to stop, [?] for help
    [h264_qsv @ 0x56426dfda840] Selected ratecontrol mode is unsupported
    [h264_qsv @ 0x56426dfda840] some encoding parameters are not supported by the QSV runtime. Please double check the input parameters.

    Can you share the full ffmpeg log? I suspect you either did not enable low power encoding or enabled it without doing the OS setup for the firmware that enables low power encoding.

    https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/admini...e-on-linux

    Low power encoding is REQUIRED for your CPU.

    Oh, yes - The issue seems to be the HuC and Guc + firmware :-)
    Now it plays perfect! - Thanks
