SOLVED: No AMF decoder available for my Podman Jellyfin server (Docker image)

Can you share the FFmpeg transcode log? You can find it in dashboard->logs.

Yes of course! I have also attached the log as an attachment in case it is hard to read from the embedded code block.

Code:

I figured out the issue was because of permission issues, and after I elevated privileges to root (pid and gid set to 0), AV1 transcode worked. Now I have to figure out how to set the correct permissions for it to work in non-root mode... (any tips or help on perm issues?)

Oh and also in the new log, I see the following warning text:

Code:

amdgpu: os_same_file_description couldn't determine if two DRM fds reference the same file description.
If they do, bad things may happen!

Should I be worried about this?

I will attach the new logs as an attachment

(Thanks for all the help!!)

Nice to hear that.

No need to worry about the message. I will try to eliminate it in the future.
