transcoding settings

[bitmap]

No, Jellyfin will transcode as quickly as the hardware you have made available is capable -- unless you turn on the throttle transcodes setting (which can save some power if folks decide to stop watching something midway but you've transcoded the entire thing already.

Derp. Didn't realize this was a resurrected post. Thought it was new.

You can check both low power boxes as long as you've setup the GuC and HuC firmware.  I THINK this needs to be done in Proxmox and not the LXC.

https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/admini...re-support

i've been trying to get some confirmation of whether this gets installed on the host or the LXC, and not have much luck finding the answer.
is there any more clarification on this?

[TheDreadPirate]

Pretty sure the firmware needs to be installed on the host.

[chenks]

did you install in your docker host or container?
the few people that did respond over on a proxmox forum suggested that anything you install should always be within the container.

my pve host is debian based (i believe) but the jellyfin lxc is ubuntu.
whilst i have backups of everything i would want to be 100% sure i'm installing in the correct place as having to rebuild my pve host isn't something i'd look forward to.

Regardless if it is Docker containers or LXC containers, the firmware needs to be on the host.

Where Docker and LXC differ is that Jellyfin in Docker doesn't require that Intel DRIVERS be installed on the host. They are part of the container. This is assuming Docker is running directly on the host. LXCs require that you install both the firmware AND Intel drivers on the host.

[chenks]

once installed, and settings enabled, how would you test to confirm it's working?

[TheDreadPirate]

First reboot after installing the firmware. Run this command on the host after rebooting and share the output.

Code:

sudo dmesg | grep i915

It should look similar to this.

OK, as a curiosity i ran that command just now to see what the result was, this is it

[TheDreadPirate]

That looks right.

[chenks]

That looks right.

looks right for what it should look like before installation of drivers etc i presume
