AMD Ryzen hardware acceleration not supported

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug A lot of the AMD Ryzen APUs have an integrated GPU that can be used to accelerate video.

Usually I would have expected to use this env far: LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=radeonsi

But it turns out, the container doesn’t have it which causes ffmpeg to crash:

root@edd635788772:/opt/frigate# ls /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/
i965_drv_video.so
iHD_drv_video.so

On my host system you can see the radeonsi drivers:

$ ls -lash /usr/lib64/dri/

This is where they come from:

$ rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib64/dri/radeon*
Mesa-dri-20.2.2-266.1.x86_64
Mesa-dri-20.2.2-266.1.x86_64
Mesa-libva-20.2.2-266.1.x86_64

I can successfully encode:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -vcodec h264_vaapi -vf format='nv12|vaapi,hwupload' output.mp4

or decode:

ffmpeg -hwaccel vaapi -hwaccel_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -i rtsp://192.168.30.176/live0 derp.mp4

I forwarded /dev/dri/ to the container.

So installing that driver and setting the env var is all you need? Should be easy enough to add the driver to the build.

This works great now btw. Closing the issue.
