Transcoding FFmpeg error 218

[Kiwa]

Jellyfin server version: 10.10.0
Over Proxmox VM with passthrough Intel Arc 380.
Using the last Intel compute Runtime repository version.
 
Hi, my server has been working perfectly for almost 3 weeks 24/7 without any problems and working at 100% with all the functions that Jellyfin provides.
Right now I'm away from home and I'm having problems with video transcoding on all devices.

Works perfectly with direct play / original quality.

I have searched for " FFmpeg exited with code 218 " on google and found nothing relevant.

When I get home I'll restart the server and everything will work normally, because this is not the first time this happens.
Do you think it's a jellyfin or proxmox problem?

Thanks for the help.

I'm sharing the LOG lines that show the error in case it helps you:

[TheDreadPirate]

Can you share the ffmpeg log?

[Fate]

Yeah ffmpeg logs should help...

I'll fire a random guess: try disable low power hevc encoding in transcode settings and try if that helps.

[TheDreadPirate]

IIRC, low power encoding is required for Arc and the extra setup for Arc is minimal. But Debian installs often don't pull down non-free packages out of the box.

So turning it off may not change anything.

But the ffmpeg log will confirm if low power encoding is not fully setup.

Also, what distro are you using?

[Kiwa]

Can you share the ffmpeg log?

Sure! I see some errors.

IIRC, low power encoding is required for Arc and the extra setup for Arc is minimal.  But Debian installs often don't pull down non-free packages out of the box.

So turning it off may not change anything.

But the ffmpeg log will confirm if low power encoding is not fully setup.

Also, what distro are you using?

I'm using Debian 12, with kernel backports. I don't remember which one, I'm not at home to check it, sorry.

For this ffmpeg log, it is using AV1 which doesn't have a low power mode. So that isn't a factor, I think.

But, to eliminate firmware as a factor, we should ensure they are installed.

Code:

sudo apt list --installed | grep firmware-linux-nonfree

If that returns no packages, you will need to add "non-free" and "non-free-firmware" to your apt config for Debian's repos..

I've modified the first post because I have version 10.10.0
The command gives me the following error: "apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts."
However, I've written only "apt list --installed" and searched,
I have: firmware-amd-graphics , firmware-intel-graphics , firmware-linux-free
but I don't have the one you mentioned, however it's strange because transcoding usually works, but sometimes, like now, it magically stops working.

I have added non free to the repository and I get the following problem I attach.

Should I try updating Jellyfin to 10.10.1?

What is the output of this command?

Code:

grep i915 /var/log/dmesg /var/log/dmesg.0
zgrep i915 /var/log/dmesg.*.gz

[Kiwa]

What is the output of this command?

Code:

grep i915 /var/log/dmesg /var/log/dmesg.0
zgrep i915 /var/log/dmesg.*.gz

Both no such file or directory...

[TheDreadPirate]

Interesting. I'm on Ubuntu, but I didn't think Debian would be this different.

How about this?

Code:

sudo dmesg | grep i915

If that doesn't return anything, reboot and then re-run the command. The dmesg log doesn't retain a lot and your system isn't preserving logs.
