[HW Accel Support]: Trying to understand what's possible with the hardware I have

[Liam-Whiteside]

Describe the problem you are having

I've managed to get Frigate 0.14.1 running (after changing detectors: ov: device: to CPU rather than AUTO) however I'm struggling with lots of documentation that appears to be referencing older versions when trying to optimise performance.

I'm running on a Dell OptiPlex 7050 which has a Radeon HD 8570 card plus intel graphics on the motherboard

00:02.0 Display controller [0380]: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 [8086:1912] (rev 06)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Oland [Radeon HD 8570 / R5 430 OEM / R7 240/340 / Radeon 520 OEM] [1002:6611] (rev 87) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

Ubuntu 22.04 (desktop) with HA running as a supervised installation in docker and Frigate (full access) as an add-on. 3 x Reolink cameras (the garage camera is an E1 Pro on wifi that seems to generate quite a few stream errors)

Is it possible to use the resource of either GPU, for decoding or detection while still allowing Wayland to run?

either GPU can be used but both can't be used at the time same.

[Liam-Whiteside]

After installing that (It removed intel-media-va-driver) I'm still getting "Did not detect hwaccel, using a GPU for accelerated video decoding is highly recommended"

If I run udo intel_gpu_top it shows
No device filter specified and no discrete/integrated i915 devices found

[NickM-27]

If I run udo intel_gpu_top it shows

where are you running that?

[Liam-Whiteside]

[NickM-27]

what does vainfo show when SSH'd into the machine?
