I assume it’s not nvidia. Yet I have no idea how to differentiate between them and neither do I know what a good price is.

Let’s say I don’t want to think about what the video type is. I just want a smooth experience.

Edit: thank you guys!

      I try to solve the problem that the cpu isn’t powerful enough wheras my gpu isn’t supported and I need a new one and I want to have a seemless experience.

    I hear good things about the Intel Arc A380. You basically only need it to convert video and the Intel is not too bad at that for not too steep a price

      How do I need to configure jellyfin in order to work properly?

      I added

      device:
  - /dev/dri

      And I tried /dev/dri/renderD128 but both don’t work. Moreover, I enabled encoding in HEVC format, hardware encoding and selected hardware accelleration with intel quicksync (QSV) and enabled hardware decoding for H264, HEVC, …

      But if that’s enabled, transcoding doesn’t work at all on the player.

      I guess I fail at. any advice?

      podman exec -it jellyfin /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/vainfo
Trying display: drm
error: failed to initialize display

      I managed to enable it by giving itnprivileged access.

    I’d look into AV1 decoding benchmarks, regardless of NVIDIA vs AMD, as I’ve been using NVIDIA on Jellyfin for a while with no issues.

    HEVC is not as relevant IMO, as it’s not available through browsers due to license restrictions (ffmpeg / mpv works fine), so I’d focus on AV1 capabilities, which is not available in many cards.

            AV1 decode is supported on the RTX 3000 series, encode + decode in the RTX 4000 series

            For Intel Arc, AV1 encode + decode support is present on all Arc Alchemist GPUs,

            For AMD, AV1 decode is on RX 6000 series, encode + decode on all RX 7000 series GPUs

            As someone else has recommended, a low end Intel Arc alchemist GPU is pretty great for stuff like Jellyfin, very low price to entry for gfx accelerated AV1 transcoding.

    My RX580 does the job just fine. Does 1080p at 3x realtime for HEVC, and 10x for h.264.

    They’re dirt cheap second hand.
