I can’t get it to work. I wonder if it’s the operating system. What system do you use it on? I’m on fedora.
You’ll need to be far more descriptive than “I can’t get it to work.” I can almost guarantee you that Fedora is not the problem.
I just used a live ubuntu image and it works out of the box with the same setup. No idea what’s the problem with fedora. Unfortunately I’ll move to ubuntu now.
I can almost guarantee that it is the problem. Fedora has a strong free software policy and has software that is closer to experimental.
The OS is not a problem I can guarantee you that. Fedora is a fine operating system
Have you tried using the linuxserver.io Docker image? It has the latest drivers for hardware encoding included. I couldn’t get HW encoding with the official image to work but this one worked without any manual setup. You still have to forward devices to the Docker container though.
Funny, i couldn’t get HW encoding to work with the linuxserver.io docker image, but the exact same compose file, except it’s using the official image, works just fine without any issues.
Weird
Yes, I tried that. Doesn’t work. It works with the official image on ubuntu. thanks for the suggestion
I would not use Jellyfin on Fedora. I would install Debian and then Jellyfin. You also could install it in podman or docker.
I had it in podman compose first. That didn’t even return the proper error messages and just skipped them if there was any. I can’t recommend it. It works on ubuntu.
Podman compose is flaking at best and isn’t well maintained. You can use Podman in Daemon mode with docker-compose if you need a compose file.
I mentioned podman as it has very good performance. However, it is broken on Ubuntu.
you will need to make sure that jellyfin uses a version of ffmpeg that actually uses your graphics card - you might need to compile ffmpeg with the corresponding flags
Within docker, it’s jellyfin-ffmpeg
You probably need to get codecs/drivers from RPMfusion to get it to work. Fedora doesn’t include much by default. https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/Multimedia
I couldn’t get it to work even with installing several additional codecs and other packages
Did you install the intel-media-driver package?
Yes
I am running Plex with an Intel A40 in Ubuntu server. Worked well for me as Ubuntu had the drivers baked in before they made there way into a Debian release.
