Please describe your bug

Hardware (vaapi) does not support videos with higher resolution. See the log bellow
I have found some arguments for ffmpeg, which could help - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54063902/resize-videos-with-ffmpeg-keep-aspect-ratio?rq=1.
I can't put it to jellyfin encoding.xml configuration. Not even after ffmpeg path. It is always rewritten.
Also ffmpeg seems to have noautoscale argument (see log), which will be probably against this configuration I would add.

Reproduction Steps

  1. You need older hardware to reproduce it or video with higher resolution
  2. play it on hardware, which will perform the resize (mobile phone)

Jellyfin Version

10.9.0

Hi, it seems like your issue report has the following item(s) that need to be addressed:

  • The format of the environment section has been altered from the template.
  • You have not provided the ffmpeg log unaltered from the server. Please provide a valid ffmpeg log.

This is an automated message, currently under testing. Please file an issue here if you encounter any problems.

It was needed to do like that. If needed, I will provide more, but I don't think to. Issue is known.

Sorry but your hardware is too old to be of any use to Jellyfin. Please refer to https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-selection to select appropriate hardware.

To clarify this: your hardware decoder cannot decode videos higher than 2K width/height and the "custom argument" you provided cannot workaround this. You have to disable hardware acceleration if you want to play the file beyond your hardware capability.

@podhorsky-ksj commented on GitHub (Jul 7, 2024):

Yes I know. But I would like to somehow separate bigger videos (without hw acceleration) from smaller with hw acceleration. When I was looking on google for solution, I have found similar issues with e.g. resolution limit 4000. So this issue will be still here and sometimes it will block someone.

I'm thinking about workaround. Create script, which would wrapup ffmpeg and selected as default ffmpeg in jellyfin. And when there are send videos with attributes and location, it would parse it and check the video resolution and if it is bigger, remove vaapi acceleration. But it would be better to have something like this directly in jellyfin.

Hmm, I just finished the script. It is working ok, but the speed without HW acceleration is really slow.

But what is interesting, encoded parts, which had played, were removed in player. I don't have remove encoded parts enabled in settings. It seems some parts are kept in buffer...
