No transcoding while streaming over internet?

[TheDreadPirate]

I don't use TrueNAS, so IDK. But that is the official image. But it also depends if TrueNAS tacks on a bunch of environment variables that could change how it behaves.

Are you able to list out all the environment variables used with the container?

My Jellyfin configuration shows no additional environment variables, though I'll have to do some homework to find out what default variables TrueNAS puts on it, since I'm trying to "re learn" what little Linux knowledge I had since last playing with any Linux distro ten years ago (which was on Ubuntu, and IIRC TrueNAS is Debian based).

Fiddled around a bit more today finally (in other words, dug myself in deeper); and for some reason now I get no transcoding of any type at all, even within my own network. Here's the section that details the failure when I tried to play a 1080p H265 cartoon from the browser on my laptop.

it probably can't access the igpu, have you passed it through?

I'm not sure if 8700 still works with qsv or if its only support via vaapi... can you test vaapi?

[TheDreadPirate]

The 8700 still works with QSV. In this case, I'm guessing that the GPU wasn't passed in.
