SOLVED: Issues with .avi files with VAAPI

[Zachary Drake]

I recall running into this in the past on an older version but cannot recall the fix:

Jellyfin 10.9.7
Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS
Mac mini (Late-2014)
Intel core i5
16GB RAM
intel Iris 5100 iGPU

I am running with hardware acceleration enabled, so maybe I just need to edit those settings?

Turn off low power encoding and try again. Your iGPU does not support it.
