My Jellyfin config has some YAML like this.

# Sometimes work  
devices:  
- /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128  
- /dev/dri/card0:/dev/dri/card0

Occasionally when I reboot my server, I end up with no card0 and instead I have /dev/dri/card1. This breaks my Jellyfin server…

I noticed there is also dri/by-path, which I’m guessing is a more stable path than a card index… however, doing this doesn’t work for me.

# No work  
devices:  
- /dev/dri/by-path/pci-0000:00:02.0-render:/dev/dri/renderD128  
- /dev/dri/by-path/pci-0000:00:02.0-card:/dev/dri/card0

I tried with and without quotes and the result is the same. Error to start. I’m guessing Docker is failing to correctly parse the string because of the colons in pci-0000:00:02.0-card…

How’s everyone else handling this problem? I’ve been updating my compose.yaml every time the index switches, card0 to card1 to card0… but this is getting annoying now. (This is a worse problem now that I’m running Fedora IoT!)

Any thoughts?

    Afaik the card0 is only used for rendering to a desktop/monitor and for this purpose you should actually use the renderD128 path.
    But not sure either about this stuff. Sort of works for me. At least intel_gpu_top shows activity when transcoding :p

    If you download hevc main 10 level 5.1 content or below you probably won’t need to transcode and can skip the whole problem 🧠
