FFMPEG QSV error on Intel ARC

[slimequeen3251]

Hello, thank you for adding Intel Arc support! I have a bug though. I can't get it to work with QSV. The VAAPI docker command from here works fine: https://docs.tdarr.io/docs/installation/docker/hardware-transcoding

Plex is also working fine and transcoding with the GPU.

I ran:

docker run \
    --device=/dev/dri:/dev/dri \
    ghcr.io/haveagitgat/tdarr_node:latest \
    /bin/bash -e \
    -c 'ffmpeg \
            -hwaccel qsv -f lavfi -i color=c=black:s=256x256:d=1:r=30 \
            -c:v:0 hevc_qsv \
            -f null /dev/null'

And get:

Stream mapping:
  Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (wrapped_avframe (native) -> hevc (hevc_qsv))
Press [q] to stop, [?] for help

FFMPEG Test

I also tried with the plugin: Boosh-Transcode Using QSV GPU & FFMPEG and get the same:

I've Googled and troubleshooted for hours. Any ideas? Thank you!

Not sure of the cause of that error as I don't have an ARC but just to confirm working fine with UHD620:

docker run \
>     --device=/dev/dri:/dev/dri \
>     ghcr.io/haveagitgat/tdarr_node:latest \
>     /bin/bash -e \

>             -c:v:0 hevc_qsv \
>             -f null /dev/null'

Have you checked the host has GUC/HUC enabled like intel describes?
Without that it cant do advanced controls of the decoder the errors you could be related to this, or the VPL libraries are still not correctly imported in the container.
As these controls you are behind the intel VPL. See their own github pages.
I haven't tested the new container my yet, dont want to pull down my server just for testing.
As i dropped linux for windows as it gives more control over the GPU with the ARC control center for fan speeds and slight overclocking etc.. And they perform just better on windows :)
Can test it next week when my new arc gpu arrives if wanted.

Hy, I have the same problem as OP above.
Just for fun I downloaded the jellyfin ffmpeg and set up a second node on my ubuntu as baremetal.
Same error and an Intel Arc card was about to fly.

After what felt like 2 weeks of googling I finally looked at the jellyfin documentation again and found this.

https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/intel/#configure-and-verify-lp-mode-on-linux

And lo and behold, now it works.
