Description of the bug

When I enable hardware acceleration for transcoding, the transcoding stops working. All settings are correctly configured.
I'm getting an error when trying to play a media file that requires transcoding.

Reproduction steps

  1. Activate "hardware acceleration" with VAAPI
    Image
  2. Try to play a file

What is the current bug behavior?

What is the expected correct behavior?

Additional information

It seems that '-init_hw_device vaapi=amd:/dev/dri/renderD128' is not added when trying to transcode the file.

If I add these parameters, the media is transcoded

Im having the exact same issue.
-init_hw_device vaapi=intel:/dev/dri/renderD129 is not added and adding it makes it work.

In the end wat worked is set vaapi and then restart jellyfin
