hardware acceleration not working #10145

Describe the problem you are having

I cannot get the hardware acceleration to work on a GMKtec NucBox G3 (which has a Intel n100 processor). I am running Frigate in a docker container on a bare-metal Ubuntu 22.04 server.

Frigate pulls the video from the camera if I omit the hwaccel_args: preset... statement from the config.yml file. I've tried both preset-intel-qsv-h264 and preset-vaapi. Neither works. It cause ffmeg to crash.

I don't have my USB coral working at the moment because there isn't enough power at the GMKtec's usb port to power it. So I need to pick up a USB hub. But I don't think that should have anything to do with the error I'm encountering.

This system is standalone and not connected to Home Assistant. My friend just wants it to record video.

I must have installed docker and docker compose improperly. I have installed Ubuntu 23.10 instead--with the version of docker that Canonical provides--and now I am able to get my Dahua camera working in Frigate. I also attached the Coral edge TPU via a powered USB hub. So this problem is solved.

I added the LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME: "i965" to the frigate.yaml file and set hwaccel_args: preset-vaapi in the config.yml file. Still no luck.

Here's the log:

If I run it with LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME: "i965" in the frigate.yaml file and set hwaccel_args: preset-intel-qsv-h264 in the config.yml file, then I get these errors:

This is not a solution, but it is interesting that your first stream is the low-res one, while your second stream is high-res. I think you need to switch your detect and record streams. Again not the solution to your problem, just something I saw.

@thinkloop -- Thank you. The camera is a Amcrest (Dahua clone) so subtype=0 is the main stream (hi-res) and subtype=1 is the substream (lo-res). This allows Frigate to efficiently detect motion and run object detection on the lo-res substream and record the hi-res main stream. I use this exact setup on my production machine that monitors my house. I'm trying to set up a similar system for a friend but he's got different hardware.

Doesn't your FFProbe show the opposite:

Thank you @NickM-27 This is really weird because my frigate.yaml that I launch with docker compose has the following lines in it...

    devices:
      - /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb
      - /dev/dri/renderD128

Could it be that my version of linux (i.e., Ubuntu 22.04) is old and lacks support for the Intel n100 processor?

I must have installed docker and docker compose improperly. I have installed Ubuntu 23.10 instead--with the version of docker that Canonical provides--and now I am able to get my Dahua camera working in Frigate. I also attached the Coral edge TPU via a powered USB hub. So this problem is solved.
