[Support] Linuxserver.io - Jellyfin

[i_Will]

hello and good day.

 

cpu: intel i7-9700 ( Intel® UHD Graphics 630)

 

 

first:

/boot/config/go already set to:

modprobe i915
chmod -R 777 /dev/dri
chown -R nobody:users /dev/dri

 

[email protected]:~# ls /dev/dri

by-path/  card0  renderD128

 

then i try to install jellyfin docker and set it to have Video Acceleration API(VAAPI).

 jellyfin still cannot play video with hardware acceleration.

( tested one h264.mkv, one mpeg.ts)

 

Chrome wanring:  

Playback Error

There was an issue with the client profiling and the server isn't sending a compatible media format.

 

Safari & ms edge:

browser just black screen.

 

anyone can help pls....... thanks in advance.

I recently restart the server and now I cannot start Jellyfin. The log shows:

 

Failed to create CoreCLR, HRESULT: 0x80004005

May I know what this error is and how can I fix it?

I turned my old rig into an unRaid server. I have a Radeon 5850 in my server that is water cooled. I would like to use the 5850 to offload the hardware transcoding for Jellyfin. Is this possible??

No, it's not possible as you need to install driver for the GPU in unraid.

[NitroNine]

I have the latest jellyfin installed using unRaid nvidia 6.8.3.  I followed the instructions with the Docker setup to use my 1650 Super.  I used the same instructions with Plex and Emby and they can both transcode using my video card, but Jellyfin cannot. I confirmed this by running watch nvidia-smi.   When I go and enable nVidia NVENC and check the boxes, it won't even save, I get this error "There was an error processing the request. Please try again later."

 

Anything else I can try?

 

EDIT - Figured it out, had to create and change the path for transcode.  Now it works.

My unRaid uses an old i7 920 processor. Its running well, but I wanted to enable hardware transcoding for Jellyfin. Turns out the i7 has no capabilities for this as I understand it.

Is there anything I can do with a Radeon HD5850 graphics card to enable this? Its sitting in the server not doing very much. It looks like unRaid doesn't recognise them either 🤔

 

I've rummaged through the internet on this, and cannot find anything that supports this.

Not much you can use the Radeon card for unfortunately.

An Nvidia Quadro P400 is perfect for an older CPU. It's much less power hungry than a gaming card. It also support hvec and h.264.

Any idea how to verify if the NVIDIA hardware transcending is working in Jellyfin? In plex it at least says (hw) next to the activity. 

 

Also how would I setup transcoding to RAM? 

 

Thanks!

Install GPU Statistics Plugin from Community Apps & it will show info on dashboard tab.

 

Set transcoding location in docker to /tmp which is memory in Unraid.

So probably making this way more complicated then it should be. For transcoding dir there is no transcoding location variable in docker. 

 

Would I need to manually add a path with the container path and host path as /tmp ?

Yes, you need to manually add it, like this: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/44679-support-binhex-emby/?do=findComment&comment=779966

If you don't have a path for transcode under edit of jellyfin docker then just add one named Transcode, container path: /transcode, host path: /tmp

 

/transcode for path in jellyfin transcoding settings path

Thanks guys, its working!

 

Here is what I did if anyone else has trouble

 

 

[in_trauma]

Unraid  6.8.3
installed linuxserver jellyfin docker

 

Up and running fine. Added souce folders, metadata complied. Local access is fine.

The issue Im having is that I can't access it remotely or with mobile app. Im using LetsEncrypt and DuckDNS with a custom subdomain. I've got the ports forwarded as directed. Letsencrypt states that the certs are fine for the new subdomain and my old one for nextcloud adn that server is ready.

 

Things i've done/tried:

• I've done as directed by the Jellyfin networking documentation here
• I've configured the Network settings on Jellyfin webui as directed as well. (local ports left as-is, set external https to 443, secure connection mode "handled by reverse proxy")
• The container name is "jellyfin"
• My .conf file is setup as it should be and saved as .conf not .sample.
• I switched docker network type from "bridge" to "host" both get "502 Bad Gateway"
• I tried "proxynet" for network type and just get "this site cannot be reached" (this was setup for my nextcloud)
• I've restarted all dockers. 
• Cleared browser cache and tried another browser and another device as well as ios app

 

My nextcloud is fine and accessible remotely so there's one little thing im missing with the jellyfin configuration.

 

proxy-conf:

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    listen [::]:443 ssl;

    server_name jellyfin.*;

    include /config/nginx/ssl.conf;

    client_max_body_size 0;

    location / {
        include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;

        set $upstream_port 8096;

    }

You need to have jellyfin on the same custom bridge as nextcloud and letsencrypt for it to work.

Change jellyfin to use the proxynet network, if that is what you have set. Then exec into the letsencrypt container, either through command line or the console link in the unraid docker UI and do a ping jellyfin. Does it answer?

 

What exactly did you do in the jellyfin documentation you linke to? You shouldn't need to read that toge it working. All you need to do is mentioned in the jellyfin proxy-conf in the letsencrypt container.

I posted it to show that I've not modified it. Seems like every time someone needs assistance they need to show their log or config and no one trusts the user till they see it.

I just reset the Jellyfin docker to the proxynet. Restarted the whole server and now it's working. Im not sure what's changed. Maybe my DNS for subdomain hadn't finalized. Thanks for letting me know it should be proxynet. I assumed this but was annoyed when it didn't work.

Regarding the ping. I always instantly forget console stuff. Would I ping it via  "ping local ip:port" ? I did ping of the local ip and it just keeps running.

 

 

EDIT:
 

I CAN access and login with iOS app, Chrome, Safari, Edge browser using the custom subdomain remotely and locally.

The only thing that CAN'T login is the Android app. I can add the server but not login with any user. I can login with local address on same network but not when I try to use the custom domain.

I see an error in the console but I have no idea what it means.

I can't help with app issues. You have to ask jellyfin about that.

 

If it's working, no need to ping jellyfin. Pinging from inside the letsencrypt container is simply: ping jellyfin

 

It uses the container name to communicate, as that stays the same. The IP changes inside the docker network on reboots and updates to containers.

Thanks for the help!
I've got a line out to Jellyfin about my current issue now. I just hoped someone here might have some insight as well..

[keithc]

Tried to attach to my jellyfin server via GUI and get a 'Forbidden' error.  Not able to connect over the network either.  Worked OK last night and no changes since last night.

 

Tried 'nightly' build - was using 'latest', but same problem.  Other docker containers OK.  I do see this message repeated in the syslog when trying to connect:

[keithc]

I'll answer my own question.  This issue is being reported on github.

 

https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/3397

[7hr08ik]

Hey guys im having a problem.

 

Dockers and plugins all updated a few days ago, and i've managed to narrow down my issues Jellyfin.

My unraid machine will use up all the RAM, and grind to a halt. After lots and lots of turning Docker images on and off, its Jellyfin. After lots of rebooting, restarting, and removing plugins, i have found that the xml files in 'appdata/jellyfin/data/plugins' are not getting read.

I stopped Jellyfin.

I removed all the plugins and checked manually for any leftovers.

Started Jellyfin, installed Kodi Sync Queue.

Restarted, and altered the settings for KodiSQ to only hold 14 days.

Restarted, the setting are back to default (0 days / Unlimited)

So I check the xml file, and its set to 0 days.

I edit the xml file, to be 14 days, restart, and the settings are default.

So i try with AudioDB, just to set it to be Enabled for use.

Same problem with the xml file.

 

So, the xml files are created, but jellyfin isnt reading/editing them at all

 

Then theres the log files:
