SOLVED: hardware encoding fails

[XperiaPlay1998]

I'm Running my Jellyfin server on Truenas scale nas. 

• Truenas version: Dragonfish-24.04.0
  
• Jellyfin version: 10.8.13
  

Passing the gpu (Intel Arc A310) trough is working since when i enter '/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/vainfo --display drm --device /dev/dri/renderD128' i get the following back

Code:

Use -h to get full help or, even better, run 'man ffmpeg'

But as what the log shows the transcoding does not work both VAAPI and QSV.
All help is appreciated, Thanks in advance

Which docker image are you using? lsio/jellyfin or jellyfin/jellyfin?

[XperiaPlay1998]

in the Workloads tab shows docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:10.8.13-1

[TheDreadPirate]

Ok. Are you running Jellyfin directly on TrueNAS docker? Or docker in a VM? Docker in a LXC?

[XperiaPlay1998]

I'm running Jellyfin directly as an application.


in the Resources Configuration tab I Allocate 2 gpu.intel.com/i915 GPU.

[TheDreadPirate]

Based on the ffmpeg command in your log, it doesn't appear that you checked both of the Low Power encoding settings. Low power encoding is required for Arc GPUs. Check both of those boxes and try again.

THX for this now i get permission denied.

Code:

Opening '/config/transcodes/83fbc6aa0fa9ebae5c8779074255ec480.ts' for writing
[hls @ 0x55cd836ea780] Failed to open file '/config/transcodes/83fbc6aa0fa9ebae5c8779074255ec480.ts'
av_interleaved_write_frame(): Permission denied

I know what this means but my linux/docker knowlage does not know how to fix this.

Is the user that is running the Jellyfin container part of the render group in the host OS?

[XperiaPlay1998]

I created a user that is called Jellyfin that as Auxiliary Groups has render and video group but primary is jellyfin.

the application has the UID 3002 like the created user and the group is als UID 3002 in the application.

EDIT: just notitesed when logginh in via the truenas shell and then going in the container instead of clicking shell on the app i get the following

Code:

I have no name!@jellyfin-5dc47b58cb-tfzpn:/$ id -gn
id: cannot find name for group ID 3002
3002
I have no name!@jellyfin-5dc47b58cb-tfzpn:/$ echo $USER
I have no name!@jellyfin-5dc47b58cb-tfzpn:/$ whoami
whoami: cannot find name for user ID 3002

[TheDreadPirate]

In a vanilla docker setup you have to pass the render group ID into the container. Is there a setting in TrueNAS to do the same?
