This triggers a rebuild of the Jellyfin package. After applying, select "Intel QuickSync (QSV)" in the Jellyfin settings for hardware-accelerated transcoding with minimal CPU load.

			On NixOS 25.11 and newer (specifically since [https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/424061 this PR]), <code>vpl</code> support in FFmpeg is enabled by default, so there is no need to use an overlay.
