[HW Accel Support]: No HW Acceleration in ffmpeg/frigate since upgrade to HAOS 15.0 #17229
Describe the problem you are havingI'm running home assistant in a Proxmox VM with GPU passthrough, this has been working well for sometime with Frigate using After upgrading to Home Assistant OS 15.0 my camera streams failed to start in Frigate.
Previously with OS 14.2 vainfo returned - I raised this issue in the home assistant os repo and was refered over here - Version0.15.0-cea210d Frigate config filemqtt:

You should be using ffmpeg presets not manual hwaccel args |
|
looks like the included driver may have changed as ffmpeg can't find the GPU |
|
Yes that lines up with the response i got from the HAOS issue i raised. Although they're suggesting " It seems the Intel driver (the userspace part) in the Frigate container is not compatible with the i915 driver in Linux 6.12." |
|
Frigate 0.15 uses the latest intel driver directly from the intel repo frigate/docker/main/install_deps.sh Lines 85 to 91 in cea210d We also have many users running this kernel version via debian without issues, so I am not sure that is the case, but would need more specifics to say for sure |
|
I have created a seperate ubuntu server 22.04, installed the coral drivers, vainfo & frigate. I then deployed the same frigate configuation that I have been using with the frigate adddon in HAOS and hardware accel presets now work. Also vainfo shows a lot more capabilities.
So i agree this doesn't seem like a Frigate issue, looks more like a driver issue with HAOS |
