Jellyfin Nvidia Transcoding Issue

Featured Replies

So now that Plex is changing its policy on allowing users access to someone else's library without a paid subscription, I'm switching over to Jellyfin, but I'm having issues with getting it to use my Quadro card for transcoding. It continues to work the hell out of my CPU and will not use the GPU. I have

--runtime=nvidia

In the Extra Parameters and also added the two Variables "Nvidia GPU UUID" & "Nvidia GPU Patch Version", and have my GPU-ID in the GPU UUID variable section. If I try setting the transcode option to Nvidia in the Jellyfin settings in the WebUI, then I get an error and nothing plays. What am I doing wrong?

that only part of the docker template to allow the nvidia card drivers to run..

You need to other template options to tell it that the nvidia device is there and avilable..

 

Variable 1:
Name: NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES
Key: NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES
value: all

Variable 2:
Name: NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES
Key: NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES
Value: all
