Need Help Testing Hardware Acceleration in an unprivileged Jellyfin LXC

[tteck]

Testing Hardware Acceleration in an unprivileged Jellyfin LXC

• Default settings are unprivileged
• Privileged LXC is still an option for Hardware Acceleration
• Groups are set automatically
• Checks for the existence of /dev/dri/card0 if not found use /dev/dri/card1 and set the GID to 44
• Sets the GID for /dev/dri/renderD128 to 104

bash -c "$(wget -qO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/ct/jellyfin.sh)"

Please test and share your findings here. 🙏🏻

Or, test Hardware Acceleration in an unprivileged Plex LXC

bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/ct/plex.sh)"

It works like a charm for me! Using default settings except for putting my apt-cacher-ng IP, after the end of the script the server selection didn't work, but after a LXC reboot the config appeared and did the onboarding just fine.

After login in, I changed Hardware Acceleration to Intel Quicksync and played a movie. In Proxmox VE using intel_gpu_top it show the rendering bar functioning well.

Thank you!!

Good to hear! Thank you for the help.

Running the script yields me an error. I have an NVIDIA card and was using the default script settingsCreating a Jellyfin LXC using the above default settings. (Side note, I didn't have NVIDIA drivers installed, but I don't know what's the best way to install them for everything to work using this new passtrough option)

 ✓ Using sabrent for Template Storage.
 ✓ Using sabrent for Container Storage.
 ✓ Updated LXC Template List
 ✓ LXC Container 104 was successfully created.
 -Device /dev/dri/renderD128 does not exist

Sorry, Intel only. I guess I should state that.

@tteck can you create test tickets for AMD as well?

I tested Hardware Acceleration in an unprivileged Plex LXC container. Logged into plex and set the Hardware Transcoding device to the UHD Graphics 630 device.

Transcoding is working perfectly.

Not sure if updates broke something (Proxmox VE 8.2.4) or if there's some issue on my side but the HW acceleration in unprivileged Jellyfin container (with default settings) is just not working for me until I use

chown :render /dev/dri/renderD128

as mentioned here https://www.reddit.com/r/Proxmox/comments/19danab/hardware_accelerationtranscoding_not_working_on/.

I'm unable to get it to work on my machine. Running intel_gpu_top on my Jellyfin container after a default proxmox-helper-scripts install gives me the following error: Failed to initialize PMU! (Permission denied). Furthermore, activating Intel Quicksync hardware encoding in Jellyfin causes playback to fail.

I checked the group owner of /dev/dri/renderD128 per the poster above, but it was correctly set to render by default.

I'm running a server with an Intel Core i7-10700T which has an Intel UHD Graphics 630 iGPU. Not using any discrete GPU.

@tteck Per the guidelines I won't open a new ticket for this, since this issue is related to this closed ticket. However, it would be appreciated if you could acknowledge that you're aware of this issue.

[tteck]

This is not an issue that everyone is having.

You cannot utilize intel_gpu_top in a unprivileged container.
