Media Management

Jellyfin is a Free Software Media System that puts you in control of managing and streaming your media. It is an alternative to the proprietary Emby and Plex, to provide media from a dedicated server to end-user devices via multiple apps. Jellyfin is descended from Emby’s 3.5.2 release and ported to the .NET Core framework to enable full cross-platform support. There are no strings attached, no premium licenses or features, and no hidden agendas: just a team who want to build something better and work together to achieve it.

GPU override for Jellyfin — AMD VAAPI hardware transcoding

Enable by setting GPU_COMPOSE_SUFFIX=amdgpu in config/docker/<hostname>/.env. The override reuses the shared host GPU_RENDER_GID and GPU_VIDEO_GID settings defined in config-example/docker/myhost/.env. Verify these once per host; no service-specific copies are needed.

After deploying, configure VA-API in Jellyfin UI: Dashboard → Playback → Transcoding → VA-API
