I can’t get it to work. I wonder if it’s the operating system. What system do you use it on? I’m on fedora.

    You’ll need to be far more descriptive than “I can’t get it to work.” I can almost guarantee you that Fedora is not the problem.

      I just used a live ubuntu image and it works out of the box with the same setup. No idea what’s the problem with fedora. Unfortunately I’ll move to ubuntu now.

    Maybe you can find a guide/tutorial on how to set it up?

    Usually you need the correct packages installed on your system to enable something like VAAPI or QSV. Then you need a version of ffmpeg with that enabled. And then configure it in Jellyfin correctly.

    I don’t have any specific insights on how to do it with Fedora. I suppose it’s very similar to how it’s done on other Linux distros.

    you will need to make sure that jellyfin uses a version of ffmpeg that actually uses your graphics card - you might need to compile ffmpeg with the corresponding flags

    May be related to this: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/11380

    I know my setup with intel integrated gpu worked prior to the release pf 10.9. Now I can’t get transcoding to work. In the comments they suggest the kernel version has something to do with it but for me it didn’t fix it. I’ll have to troubleshoot further today

    Meanwhile transcoding works fine in Plex, so I feel it may be something specific to jellyfin
