    Hi, im new to jellyfin and need help. When i play some videos, i got a playback fail.
    I have a Lenovo M720q with i5 8500T CPU, running unraid and jellyfin in a docker container.

    I attached an error log. Whenever you need more infos, just leave a message.
    Thanks.

    I'm unfamiliar with unriad. But it sounds like you didn't pass the GPU into the container. It should be in the advanced view as described in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2Fz823YjUY&t=711s

    i added the parameter in the docker container --device=/dev/dri, but it doesn't work.
    The /dri directory does not exist in jellyfin. Is it a problem with the user rights ?

    That was a good tip, thanks. I got the solution now.
    I have to add two devices in my docker container for passthrough

    --device /dev/dri/renderD128Confused-facedev/dri/renderD128
    --device /dev/dri/card0Confused-facedev/dri/card0

    Then it works. It can be closed here.
