i965 driver not loading, HW acceleration issue with i965 drivers

Expected Behavior

I followed the guidelines to set up hardware acceleration on my server running an i7-3820qm (i965 video drivers) Groups video and render are set correctly, drivers are installed on host, devices is passed via "/dev/dri/:/dev/dri/".

Hardware acceleration should be working when I turn it on in the playback section of the configuration.

Current Behavior

When I try to play a video that should be transcoded, I get the message "client is incompatible with the media, and the server does not provide a compatible format" (in French, translated...). The video does not play.

Steps to Reproduce

Set up the jellyfin server with hardware acceleration configuration on a server running an i7-3820qm
Try to play a video that needs decoding
Get the error

Environment

OS: Debian 11 bullseye CPU architecture: x86_64, i7-3820qm How docker service was installed: From the official repo, latest version

Command used to create docker container (run/create/compose/screenshot)

docker-compose.yml:

services: jellyfin: container_name: jellyfin image: lscr.io/linuxserver/jellyfin:latest restart: unless-stopped network_mode: host environment:

PUID=1003

PGID=1003
- LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH="/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/lib/dri"

- LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME="i965"

- TZ=Europe/Paris

I tried adding environment variables to specify driver path/name as shown in the docker-compose but with or without them makes no difference. I tried removing the iHD driver and replacing it with the correct driver. It is then loaded but I get an MFX error. I tried installing vainfo inside the container to check if the device is available:

root@CTM:/# vainfo error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment. error: can't connect to X server! libva info: VA-API version 1.13.0 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_13 libva error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so init failed libva info: va_openDriver() returns 1 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1 vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit

Actually there is no "i965_drv_video.so" in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/ so I copied the one from "/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/lib/dri/". The result is:

root@CTM:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri# vainfo error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment. error: can't connect to X server! libva info: VA-API version 1.13.0 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function vaDriverInit_1_13 libva error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so init failed libva info: va_openDriver() returns 1 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so libva error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so has no function vaDriverInit_1_0 libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1 vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit

Seeing that I copied the driver from the host to the docker container which resulted in a correct recognition by vainfo:

root@CTM:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri# vainfo error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment. error: can't connect to X server! libva info: VA-API version 1.13.0 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_13 libva error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so init failed libva info: va_openDriver() returns 1 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_8 libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0 vainfo: VA-API version: 1.13 (libva 2.13.0) vainfo: Driver version: Intel i965 driver for Intel(R) Ivybridge Mobile - 2.4.1 vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints VAProfileMPEG2Simple : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileMPEG2Simple : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileMPEG2Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileMPEG2Main : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264StereoHigh : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVC1Simple : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVC1Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVC1Advanced : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileNone : VAEntrypointVideoProc VAProfileJPEGBaseline : VAEntrypointVLD

If I then replace the iHD driver by the i965 driver, fmmpeg goes one step farther but raises a new error:

Stream mapping: Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (hevc (hevc_qsv) -> h264 (h264_qsv)) Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (ac3 (native) -> aac (native)) Press [q] to stop, [?] for help [hevc_qsv @ 0x560fe715b600] Error querying IO surface: unsupported (-3) Error while decoding stream #0:0: Function not implemented [hevc_qsv @ 0x560fe715b600] Error initializing the MFX video decoder: invalid video parameters (-15) Error while decoding stream #0:0: Invalid argument

I think there are multiple issues:

The driver used by ffmpeg is not correct
The environment variables have no effect on the driver used (neither one of them)
The i965 driver packed inside jellyfin-ffmpeg/lib/dri/ does not work

I spent a considerable time researching this issue but to no solution...
