I think you are in the wrong support thread, this is the container from Linuxserver and not from me.

Have you yet tried if HW transcoding is working with my Jellyfin container?

Im looking for your template now and going to give it a shot.

Im having an odd problem. When i start the webpage it takes me to a lgoin in screen insteall of asking me to setup an account. I have changed ports, so it shouldnt be directing me to my old jellyfin. That is turned off at the moment as well.

I fixed my issue with my account.

I am still having Transcoding issues with your container as well.

Can you try to transcode a file for 30 seconds or so and then send me the log, you'll find the logs in the Server Dashbaord -> at the bottom Logs and then it should start with FFmpeg...

 

What is set at Playback in the Jellyfin settings? Do you set it to NVENC? Also did you start over completely fresh or do you still use your old folder structure?

 

Do you now use my container?

I am using your Jellyfin container. It has its own file structure under my current appdata folder. Here is a sample of my log file. The entire file is pretty big, but it just keeps repeating this.

Please try to disable these two options in Jellyfin and try it again:

 

 

Btw what card are you using for HW transcoding?

That got it. You are the man. Do you know if there is a way i can import my user accounts to your container from my old container? After all your great help and support i would like to continue using your docker.

I don't know if that's possible the easy way.

If you find a way to do it, let me know.

 

Stick to the linuxserver container if it's also working there. 😉

Im still getting some spotty freezing. I hate to compare to plex all the time, but plex isnt have the same issue. I really like Jellyfin over all better lol. Any thoughts on a setting that could free up the spotty freezing?

Does this happen on all devices or just on one device?

 

What does exactly freeze? Audio, Video or both?

Maybe try to create a screen capture or something like that and send me a PM with the capture.

 

Does this happen with all media, h264, h265, h265 HDR?

Newbie here,

I had the official Jellyfin docker and LiveTV from HDHomeRun worked. The official docker doesn't seem to have hardware transcoding (QuickSync) so I switched to this one. I got the hardware transcoding to work but not on Live videos. Clients that can handle the MPEG2 .TS play Live TV but but phones and web browsers do not. I did see that network must be set to Host for HDHomeRun and I did. Here is some logs when I attempt to play in Edge:

You have to use VAAPI, this is nearpy the same as QuickSync and will work just fine.

How long did you wait for the stream to start?

On my instance, using TVHeadend in combination with Jellyfin with TVHeadend as xml TV source and not the plugin, sometimes it takes about 20 to 30 seconds that streams are starting in the browser and on devices that not support native playback from ts streams.

Minutes.

Thanks. That did it (for this docker). Before I uninstall and install the official one (assuming it will work with VAAPI), what are the advantages of using this one?

EDIT:

Oops. I just realized you are the developer, didn't mean to offend you. However, my head is spinning, primarily of poor documentation (lack of guides) of many of the Dockers for beginners. Not necessarily yours.

If you are using this container with Intel not much I think, the official one should also work with VAAPI but I'm not to sure if the official one also supports if you have HDR content.

 

This container supports AMD/Intel and Nvidia for HW transcoding.

I'm not really the developer from Jellyfin, I've only made a container that has the necessary dependencies built in so that it works OOB with nearly all cards/iGPUs and included a description that should be self explaining if you want to use HW transcoding.

Ok, you way want to add in the first post to chose VAAPI instead of QuickSync if HDHR tunner will be used for future reference.

I would like to save space and convert my media to AV1 it is less than half the size, a 336mb movie clip file converted to 144mb, wow right! of HEVC and the next generation of codec. Is this really supported, I tested converting a file. Jellyfin is supposed to support AV1 but when I scanned the test file into my media library it doesnt appear. Is there anything I need to know about AV1 media and adding it to jellyfin, 10 .6 is supposed to support it but I cant locate the file in the menu anywhere after the library scan.

How can I make it play the AV1 files? Is it even possible to play them?

Not sure if it is possible or not but the main issue will be - does your client hardware (TVs, phones etc) support the AV1 decoder. If it doesn't, that you will be transcoding everything taxing your server more. You may already be aware of this, just wanted to pointed out. We probably need another year for the AV1 to become more common.

@ich777 I went to the official build - it uses less resources. 5-9% with a single Live stream transcode on the official and 10-15% with this one. VAAPI for both, Core i7 6700t

Where does it use less resources in terms of CPU or GPU?

Please keep in mind I really can't imagine that the official one uses less resources than mine since I don't do amything different than the official one my contianer only has everything for AMD, Nvidia and HDR decoding on board.

Keep in mind I don't do anything special or custom in my build, I even user their version from FFmpeg because I try to leave it as stock as possible...

 

Are you really sure that this is maybe not caused by the stream and fluctuating bitrates?

On the Docker Tab, CPU and Memory column (advanced view toggled).

I am sure. Single stream, single client, no library scanning in the background. Again, this is with 6700T CPU only (VAAPI enabled). The official has a newer "last updated" date - perhaps they modified something.

 

Let me know if you want we to test something for you. Otherwise I am all good.
