Enable Video Acceleration in Jellyfin

(中文)

Go to Admin > Dashboard Server > Playback

• Transcoding > Hardware acceleration : Video Acceleration API (VAAPI)
• Transcoding > VA API Device: /dev/dri/renderD128

This shall be OK, but maybe not.

Troubleshooting while trancoding

Go to Admin > Dashboard

• You can find a log of vainfo of your NAS under Advanced > Logs > vainfo-*.log. It will helps you to find which driver or options to enable.

• A dedicated plugin is now installed by default on the Jellyfin server (Plugins > QNAP.Configuration), you can change the default vaapi driver used while loading a video. (from defaultValue to iHD or i965).

• Ensure that Transcoding > FFmpeg path is not empty. If empty, you can set it to /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg

• Disable some unexpected enabled options Server > Playback > Transcoding:

  • On TS-253A, the option Enable 10-Bit hardware decoding for HEVC shall be disabled

How to

• Launch a Release build of the configuration/Jellyfin.Plugin.QnapConfiguration.sln under Visual Studio. It will create two releases, for net5.0 and net6.0 that will be embedded afterwards.
• Launch ./make.sh (note that the script will try to push it on this repository. push.sh can be disabled in subscripts fetch-stable.sh and fetch-stable-pre.sh)
• If there is some 'File not found' while downloading dependencies, just launch a sudo apt-get update on your WSL and relaunch the build
