Jellyfin min required driver for transcoding

[Trevor68]

Hi,
Jellyfin requires Nvidia driver Linux: 470.57.02 to enable GPU transcoding, I just wanted to check if the driver update is planned sometime, or maybe I should log a Jira request?

since the update to 22.02.3 this is working brilliantly, so good to finally get some value from the GTX1650

Good for you.

Here, I chose to transcode everything one time for good before adding it to my server. I used Handbrake and transformed everything to formats that will either direct play or direct stream. That way, I saved a lot of space and do not need anything special web playing stuff. It took me a lot of time to fo that way but that is another option.

True, although I can now use many different clients, including the web client, so transcoding is right handy.
