I get source error when I try to drop the resolution and quality too far.

I have hardware transcoding activated. Jellyfin is running on a docker container on ubuntu server. When I try to reduce the resolution and mbps too far I get source error. E.g. with a 2160p source file I can transcode to 1080p 20 mbps but if I try 720 or 1080 10mbps, source error happens. Is this a server side thing or a client side thing? How do I fix this?

    In order to see if it’s client-side or server side, let’s try another client. Try installing Jellyflix and see if it gives you the same issue when you lower the bitrate

      I’ve finally identified the general problem: /dev/dri is not appearing in the container, so it looks like a docker based server side problem.
