Dear all,
I was trying to get Hardware Transcoding to work on Jellyfin.
https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/admin ... ation.html
In order for it to work, Jellyfin needs to access the FFmpeg directory. FFmpeg of course is installed via App Central.
The problem is, I can not choose the path to the FFmpeg directory within Jellyfin. Probably the same problem like here: viewtopic.php?f=233&t=10688
That is why I can not get hardware transcoding to run.
Does someone have an idea how to work around?
Best,
hertie

Solved: Hardware Acceleration / Transcoding Jellyfin
Well, using my head sometimes works. Instead of accessing FFmpeg outside of docker I deployed FFmpeg inside of docker. Captain Obvious
Using Portainer viewtopic.php?f=233&t=10658 I downloaded and installed a FFmpeg release (https://hub.docker.com/r/jrottenberg/ffmpeg) and told Jellyfin to use it. Done.
Have fun

Can you explain how you connected jellyfin to the ffmpeg inside the docker?

I believe in the latest jellyfin (10.7.x) release it is no longer necessary to install an extra ffmpeg version. It has its own version on board.
In the Transcoding settings (admin login) I have the VAAPI transcoding activated. Further below there is path that needs to inserted to the ffmepeg folder. my path reads /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg and I think it was there by default
