Jellyfin is an open-source media player that supports multiple platforms. However, it currently does not directly support QNAP (QNAP). Nevertheless, some users have created a QNAP installation package that includes common graphics card drivers, making it more convenient to use.

Installation Requirements:

• X86 or X64 platform is required, ARM is not supported.
• QTS version must be greater than 4.3.6.

Features of this version:

• Based on official Jellyfin version 10.5.5.
• Added Intel integrated graphics decoding and transcoding support. This includes CPUs such as J1900, 3400, and 5400, as well as other AMD i3, i5, and i7 processors.

Installation Method:

• Download the installation package from http://soft.xiaoz.org/qnap/jellyfin_10.5.5.0_x86_64.zip.
• After downloading, unzip the package to obtain the jellyfin_10.5.5.0_x86_64.qpkg file.
• Open the QNAP QTS desktop, go to APPCenter, and manually install the package by selecting jellyfin_10.5.5.0_x86_64.qpkg, as shown in the image.

Once the package is installed, open the Jellyfin icon on the QTS desktop and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the Jellyfin initialization. Alternatively, you can directly access it at http://NASIP:8096.

Enabling Hardware Acceleration:

• Open the Jellyfin console, go to Server, then Playback, and enable hardware acceleration according to the settings shown in the image.

Comparison Test:

• When hardware acceleration is not enabled, the CPU usage is above 90%.
• After enabling hardware acceleration, there is a significant improvement, with CPU usage at around 30%.

Finally, it is important to note that the installation package mentioned above has been tested on the TS-453B mini model and is confirmed to work properly. However, users with other models may need to test it themselves. If you have an NVIDIA graphics card, please refer to http://www.nasyun.com/thread-71295-1-1.html for further information.
