When I watch videos in jellyfin on my laptop its cooling fan runs pretty much constantly but is silent when I watch a youtube video. Is the flatpak client unable to use the Intel igpu for decoding?

OS is fedora 43 with all the rpm fusion video codec stuff installed.

    I discovered that intel has an equivalent for nvidia’s nvidia-smi tool for looking at GPU usage, it’s intel_gpu_top in the igt-gpu-tools package and Jellyfin is able to use my laptop’s igpu. I might need to replace the thermal paste and clean out the heatsink.

      I don’t know what fedora 43 ships, but version 3.2.0 of nvtop should also give you stats, although it may need sudo for some stuff.
