Having a bit of trouble getting hardware acceleration working on my home server. The cpu of the server is an i7-10700 and has a discrete GPU, RTX 2060. I was hoping to use intel quick sync for the hardware acceleration, but not having much luck.
I have gotten the render group ID using “getent group render | cut -d: -f3” though it mentions on some systems it might not be render, it may be video or input which i tried with those group ID’s as well.
When I run “docker exec -it jellyfin /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/vainfo”
I get back
libva info: VA-API version 1.22.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva info: Trying to open /usr/local/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit
I feel like I need to do something on the host system since its trying to use the discrete card? But I am unsure.
This is the compose file just in case I am missing something

From personal experience intel QSV wasn’t worth the trouble to txshoot on my hardware. Mine is a lot older than yours though. Vaapi has worked well on my arc card

It just seemed the easiest route, but I may just give using the GPU a go.

QSV is the highest quality video transcoding hardware acceleration out there. It’s worth using if you have a modern Intel CPU (8th gen or newer)
