Hello everyone,

I am trying to get my new A380 working on jellyfin for transcoding. My setup is headless so I have no X server or wayland installed.

I am running debian 12 bookworm with backported ZFS and kernel:

Linux Kiruna 6.4.0-0.deb12.2-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.4.4-3~bpo12+1 (2023-08-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux

According to everything I found, there is no need for any extra drivers as Intel card drivers are baked into the kernel and functional on 6.2+

I have followed the documentation regarding intel GPUs and added both /dev/dri and /dev/dri/renderD128 to my devices in jellyfin and restarted.

Executing vainfo in the container space returns this:

Trying display: drm
libva info: VA-API version 1.19.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_19
libva error: /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so init failed
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 1
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_19
libva error: /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so init failed
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit

vainfo on the main device sudo vainfo --display drm --device /dev/dri/card0 returns the same thing even though this command should work on headless servers.

executing docker exec -it jellyfin /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg -v verbose -init_hw_device vaapi=va -init_hw_device opencl@va

for checking OpenCL gives this:

I also have under environment this option:

- DOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/mods:jellyfin-opencl-intel

because I am using the Linuxserver.io version of jellyfin.

Starting a show with hardware encoding then enables (VAAPI or QSV) results in “This client isn’t compatible with the media and the server isn’t sending a compatible media format.” so hardware encoding definitely isn’t working.

Does anyone have any idea if this is because I don’t have a display driver installed? According to FFMPEG it shouldn’t need an X server environment

Solution 5 months later:

After a lot of debuging, giving up, and starting again recently. I noticed that intel GuC was loading on start but HuC was not. I ended up having to download the entire linux firmware git repo, extracting the i915 folder and dropping it in my /usr/lib/firmware/.

Now it works perfectly!

    No i don’t believe so, and setsebool is not a command for me, so I think it is a different problem.
