[Help] Intel QSV Transcoding on F6-424 Max

Post by Risunabe »

TOS version 6.0.648-00165
Jellyfin 10.11.3 installed via the TOS6 App Center
Additionally, ffmpeg, ffmpeg51, and modpack1 packages installed.

Hi, I'm having issues getting Intel QSV transcoding to work on my F6-464. I'm able to use VA-API via the /dev/dri/renderD128 device, but switching to QSV yields immediate playback failure and "Error initializing an MFX session: -3," in the logs. I believe this is due to Jellyfin defaulting to the ffmpeg located in /usr/bin/ rather than the ffmpeg51 version I have in /Volume2/@apps/ffmpeg51/sys/bin

Reading the jellyfin documentation, it doesn't look like changing the jellyfin path for ffmpeg is possible, is there a trick to get everything to behave or is there a specific install order that has to be observed for proper ffmpeg version usage?

I've attached several relevant screenshots of jellyfin, ffmpeg51, modbase1, and ffmpeg -version outputs and can provide more if needed.

Thanks.
