SOLVED: Enable Hardware Acceleration on ASRock J5040-ITX Board

[Iceman8080]

Hi,

I am a absolutly Newby on Jellyfin as Media Server.

Jellyfin runs as a Docker Container on Ubuntu 20.04. I use the Motherboard ASRock J5040-ITX CPU Intel Pentium Silver J5040 (Gemini-Lake Refresh) with 8GB RAM and as Receiver/Player I have a Anrdoid TV from Sony.

So all works fine without Hardware Acceleration but sometimes it Bugs when more then one Player access to the Server. So I want zu use the Hardware Acceleration for transcoding. At first enabled the VAAPI mode in Jellyfin and I added the render Group into the docker-compose.yml.

Code:

version: '3.9'
services:
  jellyfin_stack:
    image: jellyfin/jellyfin:latest
    container_name: jellyfin
    user: 1000:1000
    group_add:
      - 109    # Group ID of render on my System getent group render| cut -d: -f3
....

The used Grafic Driver on Ubunutu is:

Code:

lshw -c video
  *-display
      description: VGA compatible controller
      product: UHD Graphics 605
      vendor: Intel Corporation
      physical id: 2
      bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0
      version: 06
      width: 64 bits
      clock: 33MHz
      capabilities: pciexpress msi pm vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom
      configuration: driver=i915 latency=0
      resources: irq:130 memory:a0000000-a0ffffff memory:90000000-9fffffff ioport:f000(size=64) memory:c0000-dffff

But after it ist enable, the Clients does not accept the Streams from the Server. 

Can anybody helps me to fix this Problem?

You didn't include your entire compose file, but in your docker compose file did you include your GPU?
