[HW Accel Support]: docker crashing when adding ffmpeg in config

[wokkieman]

Describe the problem you are having

Stream from Eufy camera is working fine. I can see it in VLC and I can in Frigate when removing 'hwaccel_args'

I just migrated Frigate to a new Intel i5-12400 box and therefor changed hardware acceleration in config.yml to ffmpeg: hwaccel_args: -c:v h264_qsv

As soon as I do that, the camera's change to a green box. Without it the camera shows up fine.

FFMPEG is showing (a lot of times) Error while decoding stream #0:0: Invalid argument [h264_qsv @ 0x563878e32780] Error initializing an internal MFX session: unsupported (-3) [h264_qsv @ 0x563878e32780] Error initializing an MFX session [h264_qsv @ 0x563878e32780] Error initializing the MFX video decoder: invalid handle (-6)

I get the same results when running the test command: ffmpeg -c:v h264_qsv -re -stream_loop -1 -i https://streams.videolan.org/ffmpeg/incoming/720p60.mp4 -f rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p pipe: > /dev/null

ls /dev/dri (in docker container)

ls /dev/dri 
card0  renderD128

Could someone point me in the right direction here?

Note: Coral USB TPU (also?) gets detected without issues

You're running an old version of frigate, you should update to 0.11.1

[wokkieman]

I've updated to 0.11.1-2EADA21 (Had to remove the amd-64 part, so now it's image: blakeblackshear/frigate:stable ...)

Docker doesn't crash, but we're still 'green'

Cool, that error is what we've seen for other 12th gen users. This is fixed in 0.12 which is currently in beta

[wokkieman]

ok! thanks for the quick support and the awesome software :)

[wokkieman]

can confirm that it works with: 0.12.0-beta2

Thanks again

[NickM-27]

@rjwonder just so you're aware beta2 is a very old version of the betas. Newer versions will not be posted to dockerhub as they are now hosted exclusively on github

[NickM-27]

Feel free to create a new issue if something else comes up

[wokkieman]

thanks, also changed that part
