HW Transcoding for AMD 2200G for Jellyfin/Plex Docker containers in OMV

Hi gang, has anyone been successful to get hardware transcoding working using an AMD 2200G either in Jellyfin or Plex in Docker?

I'm able to get Jellyfin hardware transcoding working when viewing my movies on my workstation. I'm able to see the Radeon Vega 8 GPU transcoding using the app radeontop. But I am not able to make it work when trying to view my movies using Chromecast on my TVs. The screen just stays dark and I need to stop the Jellyfin from trying to Chromecast.

And for Plex transcoding using an AMD CPU has been unsuccessful all the time.

Here is my docker composer for Jellyfin.

---
version: "2.1"
services:
  jellyfin:
    image: linuxserver/jellyfin
    container_name: jellyfin
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=100
      - TZ=America/Toronto
    volumes:
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-label-DOCKER1/Docker1/Jellyfin:/config
      - /srv/Data01/Media/Videos:/data/tvshows
      - /srv/Data01/Media/Videos:/data/movies
      - /dev/shm:/transcode
    devices:
      - /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128
      - /dev/dri/card0:/dev/dri/card0
    ports:
      - 8096:8096
    restart: unless-stopped

Any help would be great.

Let me know if you need more information.

Thanks in advance.

Hi gang, I was bale to find the solution to transcode in Jellyfin with an AMD 2200G and any other AMD CPU/GPU combined.

Make sure you have installed the firmware-amd-graphics package for your AMD CPU/GPU under OpenMediaVault. (sudo apt install firmware-amd-graphics).

You need to add the Linuxserver Mod in the docker-compose, https://mods.linuxserver.io/?mod=jellyfin, which installs the latest Mesa libraries in your docker container.

I added the group_add line, as per instructions from the Jellyfin web page, in my docker-compose by viewing the output from the /etc/group using command cat /etc/group and looking for entry render. Mine was render:x:107:.

Just to make sure, some folks have found that changing the access mode for the /dev/dri group helps. Here is the command, chmod -R 777 /dev/dri/

Here is the docker-compose that I used to make it work.

      - /dev/shm/JellyfinTranscode:/transcode
    devices:
      - /dev/dri:/dev/dri
      - /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128
    ports:
      - 8096:8096
    restart: unless-stopped

Here is the link to the Jellyfin web page which explains how to add hardware transcoding for AMD CPU/GPU.

Hope it works out for you.

Now if only Plex would work with AMD CPU/GPU.

Hi chente, separating both the Movies and TV shows folder is just a personal preference.

I used to just have one folder before.
