So I’m running a Jellyfin container on a Rocky 8.7 server and recently upgraded my CPU to a AMD Ryzen 4750G Pro which has an iGPU, and I want to use that for hardware acceleration.
The Jellyfin docs on hardware acceleration indicate that I need to install the amdgpu-pro drivers on the host and then mount the device to the container. So far so good.
But how do I install amdgpu-pro on Rocky? I’ve found little to no information on how to do it, except someone on reddit pointing med to these semi-ancient release notes for some rather old drivers.
I was hoping that someone could share some pointers for how you install these drivers and get this sorted on Rocky, as I’m a bit too new to the Rocky/RHEL ecosystem to really find my way around properly.
I’m still looking for help with this, though my scope is a bit updated.
I’ve update to kernel 6.1.7 from elrepo, but now I’m not able to do anything with amdgpu-install it seems.
❯ uname -r
6.1.7-1.el8.elrepo.x86_64
I’ve tried running with VA-API in Jellyfin now and I can see in radeontop that the GPU in my 4750G is doing something at least, it’s not idling at 0%.
But the playback is not stable, it freezes with 10 second intervals or so, which from what I’ve gathered from my reading shouldn’t be the case with just a single 1080p stream.
I wanted to try updating the AMD GPU drivers, but it seems that now I can’t get anything from the radeon repo:
❯ sudo amdgpu-install --vulkan=amdvlk

Is kernel 6.1.7 too new to use amdgpu-install with?
Since the kernel requirement for jellyfin hardware acceleration is 5.15+ I seem to have no options when looking at elrepo:
