Let me give https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/ a try.

Emby does need premier subscription for this feature though.

If someone can tell me how to do this for Jellyfin , I can put this in our docs.

FWIW, atleast for Emby, without hardware transcoding many of my 1080p movies were unwatchable on mobile and chromecast. Even now, since I have a low end GPU, I can only watch a single stream. My new server will sort this out!

I want to see if there are errors in the ffmpeg log, but im too silly too find the log.

In the console I see it is exiting with code 1, so something tells me it is failing and I do not know why

If you see a high CPU usage during transcoding, then the work is carried out by the CPU instead of the GPU.
