Appears to be Hetzner for now, wouldn’t be surprised if all VPS get affected eventually.

If i could get HW accelleration to work with Jellyfin, like it does in Plex, I would switch yesterday.

Works fine for me via VAAPI on Linux using /dev/dri/renderD128. What OS are you using?

Hmm appears that I got it working by trying again. It was something about adding group to my docker compose file that did the trick. Thank you for motivation. 4K HDR is working now!

Next issue, Swiftfin for Apple TV needs quite a bit of polish, for instance I can’t change the subtitles within the player. But perhaps I should pay for Infuse until I feel it’s there.

I’d be quite satisfactory to not support Plex anymore.

Ah yes, I do remember something about certain distros limiting access to /dev/dri/renderD128, so maybe adding the group gave the docker process the necessary permissions? I am not sure, just making guesses right now. Super glad you got it working though!

Yeah, this is definitely one of the areas Jellyfin needs to catch up on. Their app support is a bit buggy, if not entirely unavailable on certain SmartTV platforms. Definitely an adjustment. I use the Jellyfin chromecast app, and its also buggy with subtitles. Every time I seek, the subtitles get duplicated. I am sure this will all get ironed out over time.

What’s the problem? I gave it GPU access and it just worked. Given Jellyfin is a fork, it shouldn’t be too different

The fact that this comment - offering nothing - got the upvotes, while the three comments trying troubleshoot are not tells me everything I need to know about this community

It’s probably just because they posted earlier and some people haven’t seen the newer comments. The other comments are now starting to get upvotes. I wouldn’t place too much emphasis on the voting as a means of measuring a community’s worth anyways.
