Setting up jellyfin with podman compose for transcoding with a intel a380 gpu

[sweesh]

Hi, I hope someone can help me.

my podman compose setup so far:

services:
  # source: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/instal...container/
  jellyfin:
    image: docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:latest
    container_name: jellyfin
    image: jellyfin/jellyfin
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin
      - JELLYFIN_PublishedServerUrl=https://my.domain
    volumes:
      - ./configconfig:Z
      - ./cachecache:Z
      - ./m3um3u:z
      - ./mediamedia:rw
    ports:
      - 8096:8096
    restart: always
    device:
      - /dev/dri/renderD128dev/dri/renderD128:Z
    group-add:
      - "105"
    privileged: true





$ getsebool container_use_dri_devices
container_use_dri_devices --> on


$ sudo lshw -c video | grep driver
      configuration: driver=i915 latency=0

without giving privileges, I can't get access to the gpu within the container. if privileged is set to false:

$ podman exec -u root -it jellyfin /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg -v debug -init_hw_device
Device creation failed: -2.
Failed to set value 'drm=drdev/dri/renderD128' for option 'init_hw_device': No such file or directory
Error parsing global options: No such file or directory


if privileged is true.

$ podman exec -u root -it jellyfin /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg -v debug -init_hw_device drm=drdev/dri/renderD128 -init_hw_device vaapi=va@dr

to get the group I ran getent group render | cut -d: -f3 on the host which returned 105.

client error when I try to play a movie

Playback Error
This client isn't compatible with the media and the server isn't sending a compatible media format.

For the device try just passing in /dev/dri instead of the specific device. This has worked for other users. No idea why it makes a difference.
