Isn't this a VP8/9 file since it tries to load the vpx libraries (keep in mind your processor doesn't support that)?

 

Please go to the Jellyfin settings and enable only H264.

It doesn't change anything and same message log.

Can you maybe try a different file?

Please send over a screenshot from your Playback settings in Jellyfin.

Just tried to start Jellyfin and connect wo WebGUI but not possible. So checked the logs and found:

It's repeating and repeating.

Tried to Google this and although there were some results I didn't find something helpful.

Any Idea what to do?

Is your transcoding path set correctly and has the container write permissions to this directory?

 

Good hint, i mounted "/tmp"(Docker) to "/dev/shm" (Host) (which btw defintely already worked before!). After removing that mountpoint i could start the Container.

Don't know why suddenly this mount won't work

Can't make it work with i5-4440. It's old but should work with h264 I suppose...? I get this error: 

Failed to sync to output buffer completion: 5 (invalid VAContextID).
Video encoding failed

Tried different files - same problem, it won't play with VAAPI enabled. Direct play works fine. Intel TOP plugin installed. 

Any ideas please? :)

It seems you have the same issue as @Tery has.

And almost the same CPU.

Have you yet tried the official container from Jellyfin if there happens the same?

yep, exactly the same issue with official one.

maybe this is somehow related?

there was one reply in this thread with i7-4xxx and it worked (page 3-4 don't remember) so I guess it should work

 

Update: Indeed it was related and now I was able to fix transcoding.

So, If anyone have the same problem follow these steps:

Quote

 

Log into container and run following commands:

apt update

TEMP_DEB="$(mktemp)"

wget -O "$TEMP_DEB" 'https://repo.jellyfin.org/releases/server/ubuntu/versions/jellyfin-ffmpeg/4.3.2-1/jellyfin-ffmpeg_4.3.2-1-focal_amd64.deb'

dpkg -i "$TEMP_DEB"

rm -f "$TEMP_DEB"

 

The only problem is that I couldn't downgrade ffmpeg in your docker container, it only worked in official one.

Please use the right repository my container and also the official Jellyfin container is not Ubuntu based it's Debian based, the URL should be:

https://repo.jellyfin.org/releases/server/debian/versions/jellyfin-ffmpeg/4.3.2-1/jellyfin-ffmpeg_4.3.2-1-bullseye_amd64.deb

You are right, my bad. I had linuxserver's container installed and not official. Thanks

The real solution would be this one :

Sorry but it is already installed along with the newest Intel compute runtime, this is from my build log and you can see that there is exactly this version installed:

Get:57 https://fra1.mirror.jellyfin.org/debian bullseye/main amd64 jellyfin-ffmpeg amd64 4.4.1-2-bullseye [26.1 MB]

 

Hi, I have a problem with the transcoding on a new install.

 

I use NVENC with a Quadro M4000 and get this FFmpeg error:

I add the complete log of FFmpeg and excerpt of the Jellyfin log.

 

My configuration is standard, nothing special anywhere. I double checked the guide and everything seems to be right, just doesn't want to work.

Really don't know what I could do, I played arround with pretty much every option that exists.

 

Thanks in advance!

Do other files work?

 

Please make sure that you've disable HEVC en-/decoding in Jellyfin itself because your card simply doesn't support h265, maybe not related but you should do this anyways.

Please double check that your transcoding directory is not full and has the right permissions.

 

What driver version are you using?

Well yes and no, did some testing and nothing over 720p 4mbits works, but everything on and under that. I thought its not using nvenc there but it clearly does according to nvidia-smi.

It's disabled.

I use the standard configuration, so it should use my cache drive with over 300 GB free.

510.54

 

I add two new FFmpeg logs one that did work on 720p 4mbit and one that doesn't on 720p 6mbit.

I will have to look into this on my server, will report back after the weekend.

 

Have you yet tried another Jellyfin container if it‘s the same too?

I can't reproduce this on my test machine.

It's a ASRock J3710-ITX with a NVIDIA T400 (driver version 510.60.02) and 8GB of RAM and I've now tried various files (4K HDR, 4K, 1080p, 720p) and tried various transcoding presets (720p 6MB, 720 4MB, 480 2MB) and they all work perfectly fine with NVENC.

 

Have you yet tried another container from another maintainer if it's the same there too?

I used the official jellyfin docker before but without hardware encoding. So no.

I don't know what i should try.

Try the official one once more and put in the necessary variables for HW transcoding (you can find them in the second post from the Nvidia Driver plugin).

 

Really curious if it is working there.

Odd issue, trying to troubleshoot via rebooting & solve with mix of go/User Scripts plugin.

 

I noticed streaming kept stopping "randomly" and confirmed that after reboot, my docker volumes for cache & transcode - /tmp/jellyfin/ - would get set back to root:root permissions and/or disappear completely (/tmp/jellyfin/transcode).

 

I've searched and no one else seems to have this issue, so it must be user error.  What is best practice for leveraging RAM for this docker image?  

• Owner - root:root vs nobody:users
• Permissions - if root:root, 777

Finally, can someone explain differences between editing go vs User Scripts?  Seems like go executes at prior to User Scripts, which helps with things like ZFS, etc.

Please don't do /tmp/jellyfin the directory /tmp is way enough and I always recommend mounting it to /tmp without any sub directories.

I don't know what you exactly mean with that... What exact script do you have in the User Script or go file?
