Hi, i have an issue with my setup, i'm running Immich on Docker on a Windows 11 machine with i5-7500 and 16GB ram (no dedicated GPU, integrated GPU is the UHD 630). VAAPI is supported by my CPU but i cannot figure out how to make it work in Immich.

I attached .env, the compose file and also the logs i see in the immich_server container.

As you can see i used vaapi-wsl as the guide stated since i'm using Docker with WSL2, but otherwise i tried every options and every codec and it still shows the same error.

Thank you for your support immich

Can you do a "ls -la /dev/dri" on the machine running docker as well as in the container itself and post the output here? I would also like to see your hwtranscoding yml.

Hi, thank you for your answer. Just to clarify, to execute the command on the container I selected the container inside docker desktop, and run the command in the "exec" tab (correct me if that's not the right way). Anyway the output is:

total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 Oct 17 20:07 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 360 Oct 17 20:07 ..
crw------- 1 root root 226, 0 Oct 17 20:07 card0
crw------- 1 root root 226, 128 Oct 17 20:07 renderD128

And about my machine, i'm running Windows 11 so i don't think i can run that command right away 😕

I've made some progress, if I change the permissions like this inside the container:
chmod 666 /dev/dri/*
immich encoded 1 video successfully with VAAPI, but the next one threw the same error...

Your hwa file is a bit outdated. Remove the LD_LIBRARY_PATH line from the config

Any help on this?

Could you share the output of ls /dev/dri in WSL2? You can try setting the “preferred hw device” setting in the transcoding settings. It’s trying to use card0 right now

Hmm, there was an earlier ticket where it turned out that wsl2 just doesn’t support vaapi for a certain processor. Normal Linux would probably work

You might still be able to use openvino for ml

But I don’t have any suggestions for transcoding besides using Linux
