Bug with Jellyfin/Ugreen NAS

Posted by PinkyBroham

This came from Tom AI and appears to be a bug. Let me know if you need any additional info. "One heads-up: the bug where the dashboard's sparkbox up doesn't see /dev/dri/ (because it runs inside a container) means any time you restart the media module from the dashboard UI, the hw overlay won't get applied and you'll lose /dev/dri in the container again. Until Tom ships a fix for that, use SSH: cd /opt/sparkbox && sudo sparkbox up media Worth hitting the "Share to demox" button below so Tom sees it — the dashboard restart path needs /dev/dri passed through to the dashboard container, or the check needs to run on the host side."

Thanks for sending this over, you read it right and it's a real one that's on my list. In plain terms for anyone else who hits it: if you restart the media apps using the dashboard button, hardware video transcoding can drop out (Jellyfin falls back to slower software transcoding). Until I ship the proper fix, restart media from an SSH terminal instead: cd /opt/sparkbox && sudo sparkbox up media That re-applies the hardware passthrough the right way. Appreciate you flagging it, this is exactly the kind of report that gets things fixed.
