Hardware Acceleration Causing Fatal Playback Error

[olive zephyr]

After setting Intel QuickSync on my deployment I get a Fatal Error message when I try to watch any of my channels.
The deployment is on a Dell Optiplex 7060 running in a docker container

Here is the error from my logs that I think is the most relavant

2026-01-24T23:11:12.891Z [error]: [AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x564a2176bb40] No VA display found for device /dev/dri/renderD128.

Device creation failed: -22.

Failed to set value '/dev/dri/renderD128' for option 'qsv_device': Invalid argument

Based on this https://discord.com/channels/1254564006123802805/1464693237573746880

I am thinking it has something to do with ffmpeg not being able to find the driver, the gpu is intel integrated graphics so no need for nvidia like the aforementioned post since I know that would need a more special setup in docker

At this point I am thinking that I need to pass something in the docker compose to allow my gpu to be accessible by the container

But its late so I am not breaking it now, any suggestions would be appreciated. I will update once I get the chance tomorrow to try unbreaking it

I have an old integrated intel gpu and force updated my driver to the generic newest graphics driver for that gen of product. i didn’t have the same issue as you but it certainly didn’t hurt

If you are using docker, then that error implies you are not passing through the device into the container properly.

There are examples on how to do this here: https://tunarr.com/getting-started/run/#qsv-intel-va-api-video-acceleration-api

once you do that I recommend using VAAPI over QSV on Linux with your Intel iGPU
