I try to solve the problem that the cpu isn’t powerful enough wheras my gpu isn’t supported and I need a new one and I want to have a seemless experience.
I hear good things about the Intel Arc A380. You basically only need it to convert video and the Intel is not too bad at that for not too steep a price
How do I need to configure jellyfin in order to work properly?
I added
device:
- /dev/dri
And I tried /dev/dri/renderD128 but both don’t work. Moreover, I enabled encoding in HEVC format, hardware encoding and selected hardware accelleration with intel quicksync (QSV) and enabled hardware decoding for H264, HEVC, …
But if that’s enabled, transcoding doesn’t work at all on the player.
I’d look into AV1 decoding benchmarks, regardless of NVIDIA vs AMD, as I’ve been using NVIDIA on Jellyfin for a while with no issues.
HEVC is not as relevant IMO, as it’s not available through browsers due to license restrictions (ffmpeg / mpv works fine), so I’d focus on AV1 capabilities, which is not available in many cards.
AV1 decode is supported on the RTX 3000 series, encode + decode in the RTX 4000 series
For Intel Arc, AV1 encode + decode support is present on all Arc Alchemist GPUs,
For AMD, AV1 decode is on RX 6000 series, encode + decode on all RX 7000 series GPUs
As someone else has recommended, a low end Intel Arc alchemist GPU is pretty great for stuff like Jellyfin, very low price to entry for gfx accelerated AV1 transcoding.

What CPU do you have?
I’ve run Jellyfin without transcoding from a raspberry pi for 2-3 streams without stuttering.
Without transcoding that works but if there’s something off with the video file it stutters
That will happen, yes, but the bigger question then is what’s wrong with the video file.
No idea :) it works on my phone…

Thx. 130€? That’s surprisingly cheap.

I guess I fail at. any advice?
I managed to enable it by giving itnprivileged access.

I can’t get my nvidia to work with it :(
What model of graphics card are you having problems with?
NVIDIA Corporation TU116 GeForce GTX 1650

My RX580 does the job just fine. Does 1080p at 3x realtime for HEVC, and 10x for h.264.
They’re dirt cheap second hand.
