[vaapi] libva: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so init failed Failed to initialize a video decoder for codec 'av1'. Video: no video

Hi,

first i had the: Failed to initialize a decoder for codec 'av1'. Video: no video Issue!

Now after installing ffmpeg 4 i get:

(+) Video --vid=1 () (av1 3840x2160 29.970fps) (+) Audio --aid=1 --alang=eng () 'tiny' (opus 2ch 48000Hz) (external) [vaapi] libva: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so init failed Failed to initialize a video decoder for codec 'av1'. Video: no video Exiting... (Errors when loading file)

a) What is the actual FFmpeg version (as opposed to the libraries' versions) b) What does vainfo give you on that system? it sounds like your VA-API driver is coughing (iHD).

@ghost, @jeeb

Sorry for bumping this but was there any solution found?

I face a similar problem: after launching, mpv reports:

[vaapi] libva: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so init failed

then says:

Using hardware decoding (vaapi).

and proceeds with playing. But why the first error then?

Your hardware decoding is working, you can ignore the error message (it's because two vaapi drivers are present).
