I am running ubuntu with casa os. I was previously running an intel apu (the name has slipped me I will update the post when I can with this info). Recently I got a 1650 that I installed for nvenc transcoding. It seems all the proper drivers are installed but my jellyfin container still fails playback anytime with it turned on.

I have reinstalled the container with the nvidia device variable and no dice. I have also tried installing the nvidia cintainer toolkit but that didn’t work either. I am at a loss for trying to get nvenc to work.

Any help is appreciated!

EDIT: here is the ffmpeg log file

    I followed this guide and seemed to get it working.

    https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html

    However jellyfin transcoding sttill doesn’t work. I have tried adding the “nvidia devices= all” environment variable, it still didn’t work.

    I tried using the docker conpose from here

    https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/nvidia/#configure-with-linux-virtualization

    But when I try and run this command: “docker exec -it jellyfin ldconfig sudo systemctl restart docker”

    It says the container is restarting and to try again when the container has started.

      I had the same issue a few weeks ago. Try this in your docker compose

      deploy:
      resources:
        reservations:
          devices:
            - driver: cdi
              device_ids:
                - nvidia.com/gpu=all

        This is what thay compose looks like now:

         services:
  jellyfin:
    image: jellyfin/jellyfin
    user: 1000:1000
    network_mode: 'host'
    volumes:
      - /DATA/AppData/jellyfin/config:/config
      - /DATA/AppData/jellyfin/cache:/cache
      - /DATA/AppData/jellyfin/media:/media
      - /mnt/drive1/media:/mnt/drive1/media
      - /mnt/drive2/Jellyfin:/mnt/drive2/Jellyfin
      - /mnt/drive3:/mnt/drive3
      - /mnt/drive4/media:/mnt/drive4/media
      - /mnt/drive5/jellyfin:/mnt/drive5/jellyfin
      - /mnt/drive6/jellyfin:/mnt/drive6/jellyfin
    runtime: nvidia
    deploy:
      resources:
        reservations:
          devices:
            - driver: cdi
              device_ids:
               - nvidia.com/gpu=all
            - /dev/nvidia-caps:/dev/nvidia-caps
            - /dev/nvidia0:/dev/nvidia0
            - /dev/nvidiactl:/dev/nvidiactl
            - /dev/nvidia-modeset:/dev/nvidia-modeset
            - /dev/nvidia-uvm:/dev/nvidia-uvm
            - /dev/nvidia-uvm-tools:/dev/nvidia-uvm-tools
              count: all
              capabilities: [gpu]

        Edit: when I try and compose up it says “yaml: lin 30 mapping values are not allowed in this context” when I remove line 30 and 31 the output is “validating /DATA/AppData/jellyfin/docker-compose.yml: services.jellyfin.deploy.resources.reservations.devices.1 must be a mapping”

      I have no guidance on your issue but just to make sure, this is two commands and not one:

      docker exec -it jellyfin ldconfig

      sudo systemctl restart docker

      Do you get the restarting message with just the first command?

        I ran it as two commands instead of one before and still got that error message.

        However, I tried again with a different jellyfin image and the command seems to have ran fine.

        I tried this and it says:

        OCI runtime exec failed: unable to start container process: exec: “nvidia-smi”: executable file not found im $PATH: unknown

          Sure seems like you’re either sourcing these images wrong, or they’re missing something. The docs themselves even reference this command as it’s a good way to test the container is linked to the host hardware properly.

          Maybe try starting a shell and finding if that executable exists in the image.
