Hi all,

Since intel-media-sdk-23.2.2 + has been marked as vulnerable in NixPkgs ( commit ) is there an alternative for enabling Jellyfin hardware transcoding on an Intel i5-8500? Thanks!

    I’m afraid that’s just how it is. Drivers for old hardware will get deprecated and stop receiving security updates at some point.

    If you are using Jellyfin just for yourself, make sure to protect it as much as feasible, and just hope for the best. It’s not like any of the vulnerabilities in intel-media-sdk are remotely exploitable by themselves, and if the only way to run it is via a Jellyfin that only you can access, it’s probably fine.

      Aah thanks, doesn’t feel too good but needs must I guess. In other news, the build phase is now failing with:

      CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:21 (cmake_minimum_required): Compatibility with CMake < 3.10 will be removed from a future version of CMake.

      Update the VERSION argument <min> value. Or, use the <min>…<max> syntax to tell CMake that the project requires at least <min> but has been updated to work with policies introduced by <max> or earlier.

      Any ideas what’s going on there?

        I don’t think it is the problem. The build phase also fails for me but I can’t identify the error, it only prints make: *** [Makefile:146: all] Error 2 and exits. Maybe you can just take it from an older nixpkgs version where it still compiled.
