Jellyfin GPU Transcoding Error

[Sugata Ahad]

Hi!

I have a proxmox LXC container running CasaOS with Jellyfin. I have passed on my gpu to the container and my gpu is shown in both the container and jellyfin terminal:

Code:

docker exec -it jellyfin ls -l /dev/dri
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 root video0bey 226, 128 Jun 26 02:25 renderD128

However, when I am using Intel QuickSync, it changes to CPU Encoding from safari and for Chrome it fails directly to play any media.

For Safari, it does not use the GPU at all (verified by intel gpu tool) and for Chrome, I see GPU usage to 3-5% before failing.

here is my FFMPEG log from Jellyfin when trying to run media in chrome:

Code:

Stream mapping:
  Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (hevc (native) -> av1 (av1_qsv))
  Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (aac (native) -> aac (libfdk_aac))

My hardware is Intel N100. Any suggestion why the transcoding may not be working?

Your system does not support AV1 encoding. Go to your transcode settings and unselect "Allow encoding in AV1 format" under "Encoding format options".
