## Post-deploy fix: two additional runtime packages required
After the initial deploy (Task 1's `SupplementaryGroups` grant) and
enabling QSV in the dashboard, HEVC HDR playback hung indefinitely
(Direct Play worked for some titles; titles that needed a real
transcode+tonemap never produced output). Root-caused via
`journalctl -u jellyfin` and the per-session ffmpeg transcode log
(`find / -xdev -iname '*ffmpeg-transcode*'`) — two separate runtimes
were missing beyond `intel-media-driver` (which only provides VAAPI):
1. **QSV session creation failed:** `Error creating a MFX session: -9`
/ `Error initializing an MFX session: -3` on
`-init_hw_device qsv=qs@va`. VAAPI and QSV are separate runtimes on
Linux — QSV needs the oneVPL/MFX GPU implementation. Fix: added
`pkgs.vpl-gpu-rt` ("oneAPI Video Processing Library Intel GPU
implementation"; note `onevpl-intel-gpu` is the old, renamed
attribute) to `hardware.graphics.extraPackages` in
`machines/jupiter/hardware-configuration.nix`.
2. **OpenCL device creation failed:** `Failed to get number of OpenCL
platforms: -1001` (`CL_PLATFORM_NOT_FOUND_KHR`) on
`-init_hw_device opencl=ocl@va`. The `tonemap_opencl` filter jellyfin
uses for HDR→SDR tone-mapping needs a working OpenCL ICD, which
nothing installed so far provides. Fix: added
`pkgs.intel-compute-runtime` ("Intel Graphics Compute Runtime oneAPI
Level Zero and OpenCL, supporting 12th Gen and newer" — matches
jupiter's Tiger Lake/Xe iGPU) to the same `extraPackages` list.
Confirmed working end-to-end: HEVC HDR transcode with QSV encode +
OpenCL tone-map runs at `speed=2.68x` realtime on jupiter's iGPU, and
plays smoothly on Apple TV (JellyTV app).
Both packages live in `machines/jupiter/hardware-configuration.nix`
(`hardware.graphics.extraPackages`), alongside `intel-media-driver`,
rather than in the jellyfin module itself — they're iGPU runtime
capabilities, not something specific to the jellyfin service.
