Hardware Acceleration in Linux in Proxmox (lemmy.world)

I have a used Lenovo Thinkcenter 910 with a i5 7500T running Proxmox with Linux Mint in one VM and Adguard running in another. I’m just getting started so I am reading/searching for tons of answers still

I was hoping to host Jellyfin within Linux Mint. It works pretty well, but I did notice while watching a movie the CPU was pretty well pegged out. I wanted to enable hardware based acceleration but when I started reading setup guides to hope to understand what I was doing, I think I may have painted myself into a corner already.

I think I need to tell Proxmox to pass the hardware acceleration on to Linux, and then get Linux to, but also some of the things I have read make it sound like I need to have set up the VM from the beginning this way.

Am I trying to do this the hard way somehow? Does anyone have any suggestions on the best guide to follow for this?

I did this recently and I wish I could answer you, but I'm on mobile and don't remember exactly what got it working. I also referenced the guide linked below, along with the proxmox documentation.

If you start blacklisting drivers, you've gone too far for passing through Intel quicksync. I think I'm the end it was a pretty basic config, like checking motherboard settings and adding text to the grub config.

Also don't guides say you have to use q35 as the machine type for the VM, but that didn't work for me. Only 440fx works for me.
