Emby (docker) doesn't give me any decoder options to select from

Freshly installed Ubuntu Server 22.04 on a brand new 14700k system; no GPU -- using integrated graphics only (UHD 770). Emby (Docker) version 4.8.3.0. 

This is my first Intel system.  Is there a secret to getting my Emby Docker container to display QuickSync or VAAPI as hardware decoders or encoders?

What server version?

I realized I didn't include that right before you posted and I edited my original post.  4.8.3.0.  Also, using only integrated graphics built into the 14700k chip.

This may help

Otherwise devs will probably need to see server/hardware detection logs.

I just figured it out!  I needed to add the following to my `docker run` command.

--env GIDLIST=44,109

You can determine which GIDs to list by typing this into a terminal shell on your host:

getent group video | cut -d: -f3
getent group render | cut -d: -f3

Now I can see VAAPI and QuickSync.
