[Support] ich777 - Jellyfin AMD/Intel/Nvidia [DEPRECATED]

[OneMeanRabbit]

@ich777Thank you for the /tmp recommendation, I'm trying that now.  

 

I was trying to look to see if /tmp/jellyfin & /tmp/jellyfin/transcode were found, and if not, create them with proper permissions.  

But, I see that eveything in /tmp is supposed to be volatile, so directory structure isn't needed.  Hoping this works, I'll report back - thank you!

 

EDIT - Works like a charm without the need to babysit directories...sigh.  Thank you again.

 

I don't really use unRAID Cache or Arrays, is it "ok" to mount /cache to /tmp as well, or should it go to an ssd or nvme?

Yes and no, I would recommend to leave it on something that is non volotile like a HDD ot SSD, but you can of course do it with the downside that some things can/will take longer, because they will be regenereated every time when the cache is deleted.

 

But do I understand that yorrect that you are mounting a directory/RAM disk from the host to /tmp directory inside the container or am I wrong?

I didn't create a RAMdisk, just /tmp.  Makes sense re: /cache, I'll move that to my nvme where the docker config is.

 

Re: /transcodes : /tmp, while it worked great for a day, it started throwing odd errors related to my frigate transcodes also being mounted to /tmp - specifically /tmp/frigate.

 

[2022-04-13 15:21:26.763 -05:00] [ERR] [179] Jellyfin.Server.Middleware.ExceptionMiddleware: Error processing request. URL "POST" "/Sessions/Playing". System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '/transcodes/frigate/cam-livingroom-20220413152052.mp4' is denied. ---> System.IO.IOException: Permission denied

 

The only way this jellyfin docker doesn't look for other transcoding videos in /tmp is to put it in a separate directory, ie. /tmp/transcodes.  Any ideas on how to keep it from looking in other directories under /tmp if it wants to transcode?

I think you should look at this comment:

I really don‘t recommend mounting it to /tmp on the host because you are most likely going to crash your server at some point because it uses too much RAM if you got too many simultaneous transcodes at once.

 

Anyways if you want to continue /tmp as your main transcoding directory just create mount it to subdirectories on the host fir Frigate like:

Container Path: /tmp

Host Path: /tmp/frigate

 

and for Jellyfin

 

Container Path: /tmp

Host Path: /tmp/jellyfin

 

But I really don‘t recommend doing so because if you run out of RAM your server will crash or kill other processes on your server and in the worst case it will crash.

With the method in the linked post, you are basically vreating a RAM disk and limiting the ammount of RAM it can use in the /tmp direcory without fudelling around with host mount paths to /tmp

This is great stuff, thank you!  I have 128GB of RAM and monitor/control it pretty aggressively (with docker parameters) due to doing so much in RAM (not to mention ZFS... :D)  Haven't crashed yet, but very good to know.  

 

That parameter --mount type=tmpfs,destination=/tmp,tmpfs-size=8589934592 is exactly what I am looking for!  Very easy to calculate & limit exactly what you want!!  

I'd be happy to create an outline and propose best answers w/links, for some kind of a pinned Best Practices or FAQ.  For new users, that would help drastically vs. reading through 15 pages + additional topics like the one you posted!  Not to mention lessen the amount of repeated answers you give! 

 

Thank you for creating, updating, and SUPPORTING this (and many other) dockers for unRAID!

What CPU do you have?

Have you installed Intel GPU TOP or Radeon TOP plugin?

 

Please also share your Diagnostics if you are not sure…

im usung an AMD cpu and have installed nvidia driver plugin  and have pasted the uid into the templete

 

So you are trying to use a Nvidia GPU for HW transcoding right?

 

Have you also added —runtime=nvidia

 

Remove the /dev/dri device and the container will start.

This devoce is only needed for Intel and AMD iGPUs…

[thompw]

removed /dev/dri container started gone to webui selected server logon page i have tryed  root and user(wayne) and im getting 

Connection Failure

We're unable to connect to the selected server right now. Please ensure it is running and try again.

[thompw]

ok update i forgot to add -- runtime =nvidia i added this and the container failed to load so i removed this and left it blank this was successfull and the container started and i can log in and see my media but dont know if the hardware part is enabled or working

Where did you put this and in what form have you wrote it?

Please head over to the Nvidida Driver plugin support thread and read the first and second post and make sure that you‘ve done the steps like in the tutorial or read the description from the container and the variables again.

[thompw]

ich777 thank you so much for your time and help every thing seems to be working after you pointed out post 1 and 2 all the vidoes i watched only seem to add 1 variable now i have added them both everyting is good double checked all other setting and nvidia driver were up and running

Do you have a Cache drive installed in your server if yes do you have a SSD or do you have a HDD as Cache drive?

 

Are you familiar with the Terminal and how you navigate to your Jellyfin appdata folder from the command line?

If not, I can help, bu please first post a screenshot from your Docker template from Jellyfin.

Please navigate to Jellfin the directory located in your appdata folder and do the following form within the jellyfin folder:

chown -R 99:100 *
chmod -R 777 *

(of course when the container is stopped)

Can you first try to switch the branch to the RC series like in the attached screenshot:

and see if this fixes the issue?

 

I know this error but there are different solutions to resolve this: Click

 

Is there a file called "library.db-journal" in the data subfolder and if yes, how big is it?

Is it possible that your Cache is maybe full and the mover moved the file off of the Cache?

the filesize of library.db-journal is 100MB and it is in the appdata folder.

Can you try to rename this file to something completely different (don't delete it) and see if this makes a difference?

Otherwise I can only recommend that you create a Issue on Github: Click

To me it seems the Database is corrupt but I really can't tell why this happened...

 

I've now tried a few times to update the container image itself and it always worked perfectly fine both on my test and on my productive machine.

 

Try to create an Issue over on the Jellyfin Github here: Click

Oh, one thing that I maybe can recommend is that if you have a backup from your appdata (CA Backup) that you can try to restore the database from that backup.

Summary: Support Thread for ich777 Jellyfin - AMD/Intel/Nvidia
DockerHub: https://hub.docker.com/r/ich777/jellyfin
 
Jellyfin is a Free Software Media System that puts you in control of managing and streaming your media. It is an alternative to the proprietary Emby and Plex, to provide media from a dedicated server to end-user devices via multiple apps.

This version of Jellyfin is optimized for hardware transcoding on AMD Ryzen APU Platforms and also for Nvidia hardware transcoding - Nvidia-Driver Plugin needed (Intel hardware transcoding is only supported up to Coffe Lake 9th gen. for now).

AMD Hardware transcoding (please note that you have to be on Unraid 6.9.0beta35+ to enable the module for AMD):

• Open up a Terminal from Unraid and type in: 'modprobe amdgpu' (without quotes or you edit your 'go' file to load it on every restart of Unraid - I would strongly recommend to edit the 'go' file to load the module on every restart of Unraid, if the module isn't loaded when the container will fail to start! Please refer to the second post in this thread.)
• At 'Device' at the bottom here in the template add '/dev/dri'
• In Jellyfin select the VA-API Transcoder at 'Playback' in the Admin section and enable: 'h264', 'HEVC', 'VC1', 'VP9', 'VP8', at the bottom 'Throttle Transcoding' and click 'Save'.

 
Intel Hardware transcoding:

• Download and install the Intel-GPU-TOP Plugin from the CA App
• At 'Device' at the bottom here in the template add '/dev/dri'
• In Jellyfin select the Intel Quick Sync Transcoder at 'Playback' in the Admin section and enable: 'h264', 'MPEG2', 'HEVC', 'VC1', 'VP9', 'VP8', at the bottom 'Throttle Transcoding' and click 'Save'.

 
Nvidia Hardware transcoding:

• Download and install the Nvidia-Driver Plugin from the CA App
• Turn on the 'Advanced View' here in the template and at 'Extra Parameters' add: '--runtime=nvidia'.
• At 'Nvidia Visible Devices' at the bottom here in the template add your GPU UUID.
• In Jellyfin select the NVENC Transcoder at 'Playback' in the Admin section and enable: 'h264', 'HEVC', 'VC1', 'VP9', 'VP8' (depending on the capabilities of your card), at the bottom 'Throttle Transcoding' and click 'Save'.

 
 
This Container is currently tested with the following AMD Hardware:
Athlon 200GE APU
Ryzen 2400G APU
Ryzen 3200G APU
Ryzen 3400G APU
Ryzen 5 Pro 4650G
Ryzen 7 Pro 4750G

Ryzen 7 5700G
Opteron x3418 (HEVC hw transcoding not supported - R7 platform)
 
on the following Intel Hardware:
Intel i5 10600
Intel i7 6700k

Pentium Gold 6605

 
and the following Nvidia Hardware:
Zotac GTX 1050Ti
EVGA GTX 1060 3GB
Zotac GTX 1060 6GB

PNY NVIDIA T400
 
 
You have also the ability to switch between the different releases from Jellyfin, simply change the reposiotry in your template:
Latest: ich777/jellyfin
Stable-RC: ich777/jellyfin:stable-rc
Unstable: ich777/jellyfin:unstable
Please note that I can't garantuee that hardware transcoding is working in the branch 'stable-rc' and 'unstable'.

Sorry for my English.
I had a 5600g APU, When I'm trying to play 4k(120mbps or 60mbps) or 1080p by hardware encoding, it was failed, My GPU usage went full.And my unraid 6.10.rc4 stopped and OOM.
I can get more info and logs later,because my unraid stopped at home but i'm at work......
btw, i had tryed emby, it worked, but it does not play smoothly......

When i'm using emby, my gpu usage is low(i' sure that it using hardware encoding, bucause of 30% usage of cpu).

There is something that I really don't understand, this is network usage when i'm using emby,It shows some patterns...

I think there must be a bottleneck somewhere between decoding and streaming
