I assume it’s not nvidia. Yet I have no idea how to differentiate between them and neither do I know what a good price is.

Let’s say I don’t want to think about what the video type is. I just want a smooth experience.

    I hear good things about the Intel Arc A380. You basically only need it to convert video and the Intel is not too bad at that for not too steep a price

        It is not terribly performant but you don’t really need that for Jellyfin, and it’s a good value.

          I’ve got one and it handles about 3 transcodes from x264 to AV1 fairly effortlessly.

          It’s a champ for Jellyfin. It’s 2024 and Intel produced a really good GPU… the world is weird. :P

      How do I need to configure jellyfin in order to work properly?

      I added

      device:
  - /dev/dri

      And I tried /dev/dri/renderD128 but both don’t work. Moreover, I enabled encoding in HEVC format, hardware encoding and selected hardware accelleration with intel quicksync (QSV) and enabled hardware decoding for H264, HEVC, …

      But if that’s enabled, transcoding doesn’t work at all on the player.

      I guess I fail at. any advice?

      podman exec -it jellyfin /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/vainfo
Trying display: drm
error: failed to initialize display

      I managed to enable it by giving itnprivileged access.
