Having a bit of trouble getting hardware acceleration working on my home server. The cpu of the server is an i7-10700 and has a discrete GPU, RTX 2060. I was hoping to use intel quick sync for the hardware acceleration, but not having much luck.
From the guide on the jellyfin site https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/intel
I have gotten the render group ID using “getent group render | cut -d: -f3” though it mentions on some systems it might not be render, it may be video or input which i tried with those group ID’s as well.
When I run “docker exec -it jellyfin /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/vainfo” I get back
libva info: VA-API version 1.22.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva info: Trying to open /usr/local/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit
I feel like I need to do something on the host system since its trying to use the discrete card? But I am unsure.
This is the compose file just in case I am missing something
version: "3.8"

Thank you for the help.
On my system i was able to use my integrated iGPU wit the follwing:
devices: - /dev/dri:/dev/dri
The rest of your compose looks fine.
Isn’t your GPU an Nvidia RTX 2060? Why are you trying to use the Intel GPU acceleration method? I’m confused
It just seemed the easiest route, but I may just give using the GPU a go.
