[Help] Using hardware encoding for a Jellyfin Docker install on a F4-424 Pro

[bartmans99]

Hi,

I can't get hardware encoding working on a Docker install of Jellyfin. Turning hardware encoding on gives an error when playing files.

I have it working on Emby but would prefer Jellyfin. Not to keen on using the TOS apps, I'm used to Docker.

Does anybody have this working on a F4-424 Pro?

Got it working by adding GIDLIST: 937 to the compose.

environment:
TZ: Europe/Amsterdam
UID: 1007
GID: 1007
GIDLIST: 937

The command /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/vainfo now confirms that VA-API is active.

TerraMaster could be maybe look at a correct way for Docker container to run as non-root.
