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.
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.
The OS is not a problem I can guarantee you that. Fedora is a fine operating system
Fedora does not have proper h264/h265 encoding/decoding by default, since they are non-free codecs. That could be the issue.
Maybe you can find a guide/tutorial on how to set it up?
Usually you need the correct packages installed on your system to enable something like VAAPI or QSV. Then you need a version of ffmpeg with that enabled. And then configure it in Jellyfin correctly.
I don’t have any specific insights on how to do it with Fedora. I suppose it’s very similar to how it’s done on other Linux distros.
You probably need to get codecs/drivers from RPMfusion to get it to work. Fedora doesn’t include much by default. https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/Multimedia
I couldn’t get it to work even with installing several additional codecs and other packages
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.
Funny, i couldn’t get HW encoding to work with the linuxserver.io docker image, but the exact same compose file, except it’s using the official image, works just fine without any issues.
