I recently had some problems with transcoding videos in Jellyfin on a k3s cluster (constantly stuttering video) so I researched ways to passthrough the integrated graphics card of a Intel Core i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz. But the problem was, I could not share this card with all 3 k3s nodes on esxi (this only works for enterprise cards with extra Nvidia license supposedly). So I decided to make a dedicated ubuntu 24.04 LTS VM, changed the UHD 620 integrated graphics card to shared direct, restarted xorg server on esxi level passed through the pcie device to the vm. Installed Jellyfin with the debuntu.sh script, installed the Intel drivers with:

apt install vainfo intel-media-va-driver-non-free i965-va-driver intel-gpu-tools

configured QSV in the web interface with /dev/dri/card0 and mounted the nfs shares. And boy the transcoding experiences went through the roof. I have no more stuttering video when streaming over wireguard or whatsoever. So just a heads-up for anybody here who has the same problems.
