Hello All, I've been having an issue for several months now and I can't quite figure out what the problem is. I have a Windows 10 VM on my Unraid Server. For about a year it worked completely fine but now a pretty big issue comes about from it's use. When ever I remote connect into it (Either from Splashtop / Parsec / Moonlight) and use it, my entire Wi-Fi goes down. The 5Ghz network disappears completely while the 2.4Ghz still appears on devices, but is barely functional. The Internet itself remains, as all Ethernet connections (including the Server) do not loose connection to the Internet, just the Wi-Fi specifically. Remote connecting into the VM itself doesn't cause the Wi-Fi to go down, only when it actually does something like playing a game does it cause this, and the Wi-Fi does not go back up until the game is closed (So perhaps linked to CPU / GPU utilisation?). The VM doesn't crash or anything, when I connect into it from an Ethernet connected device everything is fine, just my Wi-Fi that seems to be affected. Perhaps somewhat irrelevant but I think there used to be a similar issue initially (can't remember if it crashed the whole network or just the Wi-Fi) when I first set up the VM, but manually assigning a local IP on my router settings DHCP seemed to stop it. I don't think playing a game caused it though at this point, it was just being problematic in general, so I don't think this is the same issue. I've even swapped out my router (with the same ASUS model) thinking that it might be a hardware failure issue with the router, but still the same problem. I'm really at a loss as to what could be causing this and how to fix it, if anyone could help I'd really appreciate it. If there's any further information that might be relevant I'd be happy to provide. Thank You For Your Time

I tried 4 different videos. 3 H264 & 1 H265. All MKV. Playback error on all when Hardware Encoding turned on and requires Transcoding.

I changed them, but the Issue still seems prevalent. I'm not sure entirely, I think the error message on Jellyfin clients are a little different now. But it's still a playback error. When I run the same film but with DirectPlay or Transcoding (with Hardware Acceleration Off) It plays fine at the expense of the CPU. But if Hardware Acceleration is on and requires transcoding, no luck. Thank You for sharing. I changed mine to match yours, saved it. Restarted the Server, but the Issue still persists unfortunately. Jellyfin Log still shows the following at the end: "Failed to initialise VAAPI connection: -1 (unknown libva error). Device creation failed: -5. Failed to set value '/dev/dri/renderD128' for option 'vaapi_device': Input/output error Error parsing global options: Input/output error" In my first original post, the error was like this, slightly different if that means anything to anyone: "Failed to initialise VAAPI connection: -1 (unknown libva error). Device creation failed: -5. Failed to set value 'qsv=hw' for option 'init_hw_device': Input/output error Error parsing global options: Input/output error"

I'm sorry but I am missing something, I can't seem to understand what it is you refer to? /dev/dri is written in a few places. How / Where do I change permissions on /dev/dri? I also heard that Intel 10th Gen Comet Lake no longer supports VAAPI, not sure if that's true or not.

I've looked through this forum and followed the Instructions, but I am having no luck with getting hardware acceleration to work for my Intel iGPU. The go file has been edited, saved & UNRAID restarted. The parameters in advanced view Extra Parameters has been added. Hardware acceleration has been set to VAAPI as people have more luck with that. DirectPlay is fine, but whenever there are subtitles and the video has to be transcoded, I get a black screen on Safari & a playback error on Windows Chrome. I later plugged in a dummy HDMI plug into my Server motherboard to see if that would help but that doesn’t either. Using i5-10400 CPU Any Help Appeciated, Thanks! Edit: The log says this "Failed to initialise VAAPI connection: -1 (unknown libva error). Device creation failed: -5. Failed to set value 'qsv=hw' for option 'init_hw_device': Input/output error Error parsing global options: Input/output error"
