i’m starting to think it’s the debian base of this container image. it may just be too out of date for my GPU.

i think i’m giving up on this for now.

thanks all!

hey all!

for the life of me, i cannot get VAAPI hardware accelerated encoding to work. i always get this error:

Error: ffmpeg exited with code 234: Device creation failed: -22.

Failed to set value ‘/dev/dri/renderD128’ for option ‘vaapi_device’: Invalid argument

no joy.

i’ve also tried updating the packages from trixie and sid, and installing the firmware-linux-nonfree.

i’ve tried disabling SELinux. i’ve tried making the container permissive.

no change.

any help is appreciated! thank you!

Can the peertube user actually read the mapped /dev/dri path?

Nico_198X@europe.pub on 11 Jul 06:18 next collapse

this is a great thought and i’m not sure, probably not.

when i examine /dev/dri in the container, it has the groupid that it has on host, but not the name. peertube user is not in that group.

i tried making the render group in the container with the same gid and added peertube to it, but it didn’t change anything. this process may not be correct, however, to achieve that goal.

any suggestions for quadlet on how to bring in the render group with peertube in it?

Nico_198X@europe.pub on 11 Jul 06:37 collapse

what i’m so surprised about is that it works for owncast, and the setup is the same.

rootful. render group isn’t named in the container and the owncast user isn’t in the group.

but it works, and peertube doesn’t.

I don't use containers myself, but I bet the hardware acceleration section of the Jellyfin container install doc would be helpful.

Nico_198X@europe.pub on 11 Jul 06:35 collapse

thanks! i took a look and sadly i’ve already covered those parts. :/

Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de on 11 Jul 06:35 next collapse

I use podman too and I set up hardware acceleration for Jellyfin. I’ll update this with how I did it once I’m home.

Edit: Here’s my compose.yml (I use podman-compose):

services:
  jellyfin:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/jellyfin:latest
    container_name: jellyfin
    dns:

thanks! that seems in line with what i’m doing, though my container is rootful.

shaun@lemmy.world on 11 Jul 07:05 next collapse

Are you using rooted or rootless podman? I’m running rootless and am quite sure I needed to add my local user to the video group. I’m out and about, but can investigate later if you want. Otherwise you seem on the right track

Nico_198X@europe.pub on 11 Jul 07:41 collapse

the container is rootful.

any help is appreciated as i’m at a wall. :/
