[HW Accel Support]: Nvidia missing decode package

[8700nd]

Describe the problem you are having

ERROR: for frigate Cannot start service frigate: could not select device driver "nvidia" with capabilities: [[gpu]] Got this error but I have the Nvidia driver and nvidia-smi installed.

I am using Synology so no apt available. Is there a way to download and manually install the libnvidia-decode pacakges?

I think this question is better suited for a synology forum, this question has nothing to do with frigate itself.

[8700nd]

I see. But frigate container won't start at all if there is no Nvidia decode lib?

[NickM-27]

Your docker compose is telling it to mount with Nvidia gpu resources, so naturally they are required for the container to start.
