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.

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.

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’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.

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.
