I have been trying for a long time to get hardware acceleration to work on Jellyfin via Docker and have gotten as far as getting nvidia-smi to successfully run – which it wasn’t previously.

I seem to get this error on any video I try to transcode (at least through my browser):

Does anyone have any idea what might be happening here?
You must log in or register to comment.
Are you using the official docker image? if yes, try linuxserver.io’s image. they also have a proper guide to using HWA.
I’m using the linuxserver.io image
I interpreted the log, that jellyfin tries to transcode to av1 and I don’t think the 1660 Ti supports AV1. Can you show me your transcoding config?
You’re right. Here’s the NVIDIA GPU Codec Support Matrix: https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-support-matrix-new
and I looked up GTX 1660 Ti, the only codec it doesn’t support is av1. That’s the issue for sure.
Modify your docker-compose.yml to contain the following:
services: jellyfin: image: jellyfin/jellyfin container_name: jellyfin user: 1000:1000 environment: NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES: all NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES: all deploy: resources: reservations: devices: - capabilities: [gpu]That’s what worked for me
I had that previously but will try again later today and report back.
