Don’t worry about vainfo. That should only matter if you use VA-API as the interface for hardware encoding your video. For Nvidia GPUs you would use NVENC instead.

What does your sunshine config look like? Do you have the debug logs for it?

Sorry, there are no PPAs that have all codecs compiled in? Is it illegal to distribute or something?

Can’t you just install ffmpeg from a PPA rather than compile it yourself?

No, it’s one person who is so unironically salty that they post memes about how much they hate Linux several times a day.

Am I right to assume you’ve got a laptop? Otherwise 70C is a terrible temp to hit at idle

Generally the app is better. Compatible with more container formats, audio formats (surround sound, Dolby digital, etc), and has hardware supported decoding for h265 video in addition to h264.

At least in the case of a Jellyfin server, you can download media locally when you know you’ll be without internet

This is sad, not funny

Not sure this qualifies as insane. Seems more like a self-defense maneuver to me. People have harassed and stalked this man to an absurd degree over features they wanted and bugs that bothered them that in some cases only existed in forks like Swanstation.

This is on top of this guy working a full time job. He can do what he wants and give away free code to the world on whatever terms he sees fit.

Basically, he got too famous and entitled assholes started treating him like a public slave.

It sucks and I’m sad to see him turn the project away from a true FOSS license, but I’d rather he contribute public code than not.

There are powered extensions, so one of those might work, but a hub is certainly a comparable price and a more compact solution

If you switch the devices line to

- /dev/dri:/dev/dri

as other have suggested, that should expose the Intel iGPU to your Jellyfin docker container. Presently you’re only exposing the Nvidia GPU.

QSV is the highest quality video transcoding hardware acceleration out there. It’s worth using if you have a modern Intel CPU (8th gen or newer)

Both Mint and Pop are based on Ubuntu and neither one ships with snap. Both use Flatpak and native packages instead. Mint also has LMDE, which is based on Debian, if you want Debian-but-more-user-friendly

Jellyfin doesn’t need any particular setup to work directly from LAN because it doesn’t ever try to use a central login provider the way Plex does.

The only reason OP is struggling with it is because they set it up so that they can only connect to it via Tailscale.

The Hyprland devs (or one of them, I don’t exactly know who) is toxic and known for it. Is that person this guy?

Yes, it’s this guy.

Right, I just mean if your connection speed is faster than your server can transcode, then the transcode speed will be the bottleneck

It’s limited to the transcode speed, but it’s important to keep in mind that e.g. if you transcode to a lower resolution especially it’ll usually transcode faster than realtime.

FYI Jellyflix also supports that

Well, Electron uses Chrome, so yes

Nah, XP was peak. The last time the backwards compatibility worked with any sort of consistency
