Have you read and understood the above guidelines?

Yes

📜 What is the name of the script you are using?

Jellyfin Media Server

📂 What was the exact command used to execute the script?

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/ct/jellyfin.sh)"

⚙️ What settings are you using?

  • Default Settings
  • Advanced Settings

🖥️ Which Linux distribution are you using?

Ubuntu 24.10

📈 Which Proxmox version are you on?

pve-manager/9.0.10/deb1ca707ec72a89 (running kernel: 6.14.11-3-pve)

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

Running intel_gpu_top in the container returns "../tools/intel_gpu_top.c:557: get_num_gts: Assertion !errno || errno == ENOENT failed" while it works successfully on the host. Even though lspci returns the A380: "2d:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation DG2 [Arc A380] (rev 05)". Container is running unprivileged.

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

Execute script and select QSV in Jellyfin (Arc A380).

Paste the full error output (if available).

N/A

🖼️ Additional context (optional).

And ON Host?

What drivers need the 380? Its only a Base GPU Passthrough, If this Card need Special drivers or apt then you should do it. The Output say, the Card is Pass..

Drivers are included in the kernel though I tried installing some as well. intel_gpu_top runs perfectly fine on the host but in the LXC it fails and Jellyfin can't transcode.

Tried to reinstall the LXC to see if it was just a bad install but now the script won't even work.
