I am running ubuntu with casa os. I was previously running an intel apu (the name has slipped me I will update the post when I can with this info). Recently I got a 1650 that I installed for nvenc transcoding. It seems all the proper drivers are installed but my jellyfin container still fails playback anytime with it turned on.

I have reinstalled the container with the nvidia device variable and no dice. I have also tried installing the nvidia cintainer toolkit but that didn’t work either. I am at a loss for trying to get nvenc to work.

Any help is appreciated!

EDIT: here is the ffmpeg log file

EDIT 2: It was a problem with my docker compose file! I didn’t list the needed devices from the jellyfin documentation. I thought the Container was detecting the gpu but it wasn’t. Docker exec <container-name> nvidia-smi is your friend!

EDIT 3: so now it doesnt kick me out saying the playback failed but its just a black screen with 4k media

EDIT 4: nvm i just didnt have the proper jellytin transcode settings set lol

    What’s the output of nvidia-smi on host? What is “casa os”? Do you have the Nvidia container cuda runtime installed? What’s your docker-compose.yml look like?

    For me on Debian it worked pretty much out of the box, I just installed the cuda toolkit, blacklisted nouveau, and added this to docker-compose.yml:

    environment:
  NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES: all
  NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES: all
deploy:                                       
  resources:
    reservations:                       
      devices:
      - capabilities: [gpu]

    It works both in Immich and Jellyfin.

      Casaos is just a server ui for ubuntu to manage docker and other settings:

      https://casaos.io/

      Here is the output of nvidia-smi (sorry for the picture if my monitor. It’s late and I blanking on my lemmy pass and cannot sign in on the pc itself to send a screen cap lol):

      I used several different jellyfin images posted in casaos appstore along with the official nvidia documentation. It still does not want to work:

      services:
 jellyfin:
   image: jellyfin/jellyfin
   user: 1000:1000
   network_mode: 'host'
   volumes:
     - /DATA/AppData/jellyfin/config:/config
     - /DATA/AppData/jellyfin/cache:/cache
     - /DATA/AppData/jellyfin/media:/media
     - /mnt/drive1/media:/mnt/drive1/media
     - /mnt/drive2/Jellyfin:/mnt/drive2/Jellyfin
     - /mnt/drive3:/mnt/drive3
     - /mnt/drive4/media:/mnt/drive4/media
     - /mnt/drive5/jellyfin:/mnt/drive5/jellyfin
     - /mnt/drive6/jellyfin:/mnt/drive6/jellyfin
   runtime: nvidia
   deploy:
     resources:
       reservations:
         devices:
           - driver: nvidia

           - /dev/nvidia-uvm-tools:/dev/nvidia-uvm-tools
             count: all
