jellyfin-amd - Docker mod for Jellyfin

This mod adds the mesa libraries (v20.1+) needed for hardware encoding (VAAPI) on AMD GPUs to the Jellyfin Docker container (latest tag).

To enable, you need to add the 2 following entries:

• Device mapping for /dev/dri and /dev/kfd
  • docker-compose:

        devices:
          - /dev/dri:/dev/dri
          - /dev/kfd:/dev/kfd

  • docker cli

    --device /dev/dri:/dev/dri
    --device /dev/kfd:/dev/kfd

• Environment Variable: DOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/mods:jellyfin-amd
  • docker-compose:

        environment:
          - DOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/mods:jellyfin-amd

  • docker cli:

    -e DOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/mods:jellyfin-amd

If adding multiple mods, enter them in an array separated by |, such as DOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/mods:jellyfin-amd|linuxserver/mods:jellyfin-mod2

Settings in Jellyfin

Under server administration in Server > Playback the Hardware acceleration can be set to Video Acceleration API (VAAPI) and the VA API Device has to be set to the device given in the Docker configuration. For example /dev/dri/renderD128.
