Manage your Media Collection with Jellyfin! Install on Proxmox with Hardware Transcode

In the last video I introduced Linux Containers, today we're going to supercharge that by seeing if we can get some graphics hardware into our container, and give our large blu-ray collection a new home. We're going to cover a few more advanced Proxmox container features, such as privilaged containers, hardware pass-through, and Jellyfin setup and transcoding for Intel and AMD GPUs.

There are always hardware quirks with hardware transcoding, but I've worked through it with two examples - a modern Intel Jasper Lake Celeron (which requires the guc/huc firmware), and an AMD Radeon WX 3100.

new to proxmox and have to express how much I appreciate your videos which have helped me enormously. There are lots of videos on the subject but you bet them all, Thanks again and keep it up

[kyleolsen]

Your videos have helped and inspired me so much. This time last year i barely knew how to use a terminal and now i'm daily driving linux and amassing a homelab proxmox setup with multiple nodes. my home network and i thank you.

Dude, super cool video. I just started getting into Jellyfin and Proxmox and ran across your video.

[sanchOlabs]

Thanks for the tutorials, watched two until now, both super packed with information ;)

[bokami]

Just wanted to say Thanks for this video. Using the information you present, I managed to get JellyFin HW decoding working on my Proxmox cluster.

[JimothyDandy]

You rock, my man. Love your adventurous ways.

Skimming by my "normal" subs to see what my man, Apalrd, may have for for us today.

[UsernameWasLost]

thank you for explaining this so clearly. I was struggling to integrate my different containers, this helped a ton

[chetramsteak]

I can't thank you enough for this! I tried following a couple other guides and spent hours trying to get Jellyfin set up and working properly on my Proxmox server, but I was running into issue after issue. But this one worked perfectly, and was really thorough! I'm still trying to work out how to get QVS working with my Core i9-11900K, but in the meantime, I at least have Jellyfin up and running.

Thanks again!

[MrRedWA]

Awesome! Thanks for the instructions! worked like a charm.

[imzsoul]

legend, i finally have transcoding working!

[Immortus]

Thanks for the guide, it really helped a lot. Now i'm finally able to set up proxmox to the hardware, where Jellyfin was installed on Ubuntu server just because i didn't know how to pass iGPU to container and make it work properly. I've tried to solve it using other guides, but they always covered a part of the solution. Your guide is really all-in-one solution, and i'm glad that i've finally found it

[TheUkeloser]

I know this is an older video, but I just set up my jellyfin server and got QSV hardware transcoding using this guide. Thanks!

[mikerollin]

Great stuff, this is perfect for my setup

[ChromeBreakerD]

thank you very much. I got it working thanks to you.
Only thing that I had to do that you did not mention is rebooting the proxmox host once.

[MinishMan]

So so helpful! Doing it in July 2023 - just 4 months after you - and the website instructions are a bit different. This homelab thing is a minefield! But I guess that's the point.

Jellyfin didn't ask me to add the dev/dri/card0 mount.entry, so I didn't, and my group for the dev/dri/renderD128 mount.entry was "sgx". No idea why this is different but it all worked first time on a 7th gen Intel CPU.

Thank you again!

[ertibimbashi]

Awesome work - Wish I stumbled into your profile sooner.

[seimeianri]

thanks for the video, I was about to start a research to install jelly on an mac mini 2011 and the video went live

[housy]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial! Working well on an odroid H3

[GutsyGibbon]

Excellent, haven't tried it yet but the detailed explanation is perfect. I have Optiplex 3040 as a Proxmox server (at least in the testing phase) and it looks like it has Intel GPU Skylake, so what you did here should also work for me. Thanks!

[proteinman]

Thanks alot for this guide, your a champion
