UHD 630. intel_gpu_top shows no usage and CPU is transcoding.

I'll grab the logs in a bit but all I'm doing is streaming rips made by makemkv.

so Vaapi cant decode h264 10bit. the ffmpeg logs are important :)

Nevermind, this is infact a iGPU issue as it doesn't work on my windows laptop either but nvenc does.

I thought regular bluray didn't have 10bit profiles?

You can replicate this by using makemkv and transcoding the resulting .mkv file.

Are those the full ffmpeg logs? I was expecting more before _STATISTICS_WRITING_APP-eng: MakeMKV v1.14.7 linux(x64-release) _STATISTICS_WRITING_DATE_UTC-eng: 2020-02-13 18:44:21 _STATISTICS_TAGS-eng: BPS DURATION NUMBER_OF_FRAMES NUMBER_OF_BYTES SOURCE_ID

Here's the mapping you're doing. I'm not sure the bit of your media since the logs are incomplete but you didn't use vaapi to decode so I think the bit might not be the problem. Those pgs subs look suspicious in any case.

Stream mapping: 
Stream #0:0 (h264) -> overlay:main (graph 0) 
Stream #0:5 (pgssub) -> scale (graph 0) 
scale_vaapi (graph 0) -> Stream #0:0 (h264_vaapi) 
Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (dts (dca) -> aac

ffmpeg: i965_encoder.c:1692: intel_enc_hw_context_init: Assertion encoder_context->mfc_context' failed.

Try this, I think it's libs you might be missing. I hope it isn't non-free but it might be.

I've encoded one of the makemkv's into a regular H264 file with audio passthrough using handbrake and it still will not play using vaapi on the linux server or quicksync on my windows laptop.

NVENC works fine. I'm pretty sure at this point it's not an issue on my end as I've replicated the problem on two different devices with different hardware.

The only thing they have in common is the 630 iGPU.

Awesome! I'm glad we could get it working. I'm not sure which section of the documents to update.

I was thinking perhaps we could suggest libraries to install here
https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration.html#setup
Or here
https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/installing.html#packages-1

You want to make some updates to how you think it would've been helpful?
