ich777 1216 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 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 Opteron x3418 (HEVC hw transcoding not supported - R7 platform) on the following Intel Hardware: Intel i5 10600 Intel i7 6700k and the following Nvidia Hardware: Zotac GTX 1050Ti EVGA GTX 1060 3GB Zotac GTX 1060 6GB 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'.

ich777 1216 Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 To automatically load the module for your AMD iGPU/GPU do the following steps: Open up a Terminal with the Terminal icon on the right top corner of Unraid. Enter this in the Terminal: nano /boot/config/go and press enter. You should see something like this: Now add after the first line these lines (navigate with the arrow keys on your keyboard): # Enable AMD iGPU modprobe amdgpu This is a example what the 'go' file should like after you inserted the text above: After that press: CTRL + X Y RETURN to save the file and close the window. Done! After the next reboot of Unraid the module for your AMD iGPU/GPU is automatically loaded and activated. Quote Link to post

John_M 375 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 This is excellent stuff! It's nice to see some support for AMD APUs at last. I can confirm that it works with a 2400G too (not surprisingly), though the Athlon 200GE (the cheapest APU I could find) is more than powerful enough for HEVC transcoding. In the Unraid 6.9.0-Beta35 release notes Limetech provides a way of enabling the amdgpu driver that doesn't use the go file: Quote For example, to unblacklist amdgpu type these commands in a Terminal session: mkdir /boot/config/modprobe.d touch /boot/config/modprobe.d/amdgpu.conf When Unraid OS boots, before the Linux kernel executes device discovery, we copy any files from /boot/config/modprobe.d to /etc/modprobe.d. Since amdgpu.conf on the flash is an empty file, it will effectively cancel the driver from being blacklisted. 1 Quote Link to post
G0ku737 1 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Hey there, thanks for the great work. I am looking to install Jellyfin on my Unraid. Does it make Sense to use this Version with my R3 4350 Pro and Unraid 6.8.3 so i am prepared when Unraid 8.9 is released and i can officially use the AMD GPU? Or should i use another Version from linuxserver for example until 8.9 Final is out ? Thanks and keep up the awesome work! Quote Link to post

I think you are talking about Unraid 6.9.0? Don't know if AMD GPU's are supported in the container from Linuxserver, basically you can install whatever container you like. To make this work you need actually the "drivers" in the container and the "modules" enabled on the host (Unraid). You can only use this container and make use of your AMD GPU if you install Unraid 6.9.0RC2 otherwise you are stuck with CPU encoding. From my perspective 6.9.0RC2 is really stable (I run it since it was released and had not one crash or any weird behavior) and it is safe to install. 1 Quote Link to post
G0ku737 1 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Thanks for the answer! Yeah sure i ment 6.9. So when i understand it right i can use your jellyfin Container without GPU support and if 6.9 comes out i just activate the driver in the container and the modules in Unraid and i can use my APU´s GPU from then on ? So this is not a Beta or hardly modified Version of Jellyfin or anything its just prepared to use GPUs with Unraid 6.9 or the 6.9 RC. Cheers Quote Link to post

Exactly. 1 minute ago, G0ku737 said: So this is not a Beta or hardly modified Version of Jellyfin or anything its just prepared to use GPUs with Unraid 6.9 or the 6.9 RC. Nothing too special or modified, I pull Jellyfin out of the official Jellyfin repo then only install the Intel drivers and AMD drivers to the container. Exactly. As said before try to upgrade to RC2 and try it for your self, you could always downgrade to 6.8.3 the only thing you have to do if you are really downgrading is that you have to reassign the cache pool.

Very unlikely that the container did crash your server. Have you got a syslog from the crash? How did you know that it was a GPU crash? @jj1987 have you got any problems so far? Quote Link to post
jj1987 46 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) Up to now no problems, but i use Jellyfin not that excessive. Normally just a single stream. Only for testing purposes i started 4 parallel streams for maybe 10 minutes Edited February 25 by jj1987 1 Quote Link to post

And Container still up, but did not do any transcode or play movie. The first 2-3 movie worked like a champ, but think it Fu**ed up when i tested a 4k movie file Had to reboot unraid. Reboot for gui or ssh did not work, had to force reboot the rig. Edited February 25 by Tulip Quote Link to post

Oh one user had a problem because he had PowerTOP tweaks active but this was on a Intel system. Quote Link to post

Tulip 1 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Its rx 580 8GB Unraid have 128GB I think, one transcode. switched from one movie to another. but was testing 4-5 earlier that evening while check cpu usage on unraid. So cant be 100% sure. Quote Link to post
ich777 1216 Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 But you haven't passed through the card to a VM or something like that? I already looked a bit into the bugtracker and have seen that some reports with RX cards out there that state that there is a proboem with the amdgpu module itself. But have to dig deeper.

pzen 3 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Hello, Sorry for my English I'm using a translator (Google translation) (French) At the end of the installation I have the following error: docker: Error response from daemon: error gathering device information while adding custom device "/ dev / dri": no such file or directory. Is the directory to be created manually and should I drop the graphics card drivers or other element for it to be taken into account?

Have you rebooted after that, if not you have to do a "modprobe amdgpu" manually from the terminal to activate the GPU. But keep in mind that the HD4850 doesn't support HEVC if I remember correctly.
