Jellyfin transcoding fails with FFmpeg exit code 187 when container loses GPU access. Symptoms: playback fails immediately, nvidia-smi inside container returns 'Failed to initialize NVML: Unknown Error'. Fix: restart container with 'docker restart jellyfin'. Root cause: GPU binding becomes stale after driver updates, Docker restarts, or runtime issues. Solution: Created jellyfin_gpu_monitor.py that runs every 5 minutes on ubuntu-manticore, detects GPU loss, sends Discord alert, and auto-restarts container.
