Jellyfin Player insists on using NVIDIA GPU instead of Intel, wasting battery life on my laptop (Linux) #432

Describe the bug My laptop has hybrid graphics (Intel+NVIDIA). The Jellyfin Media Player always uses my NVIDIA GPU for video decoding, which literally cuts my battery life in half (uses ~9W more). I want to make Jellyfin use Intels video decoder instead so that the NVIDIA GPU isn't active at all.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Have a laptop with hybrid graphics on Linux
  2. Use Jellyfin
  3. Run nvidia-smi to observe jellyfin taxing the dedicated GPU

Expected behavior Jellyfin should use my iGPU video decoder by default, or at least give me the option to switch to it.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

I'm also curious about this. Is there a way to avoid the nvidia device on the client being used?
