Vaapi on Intel 11th Gen integrated graphics

[PaddytheKiwi]

Hi

Has anybody managed to get this working for transcoding?  I'm running NextPVR in a Docker container on OMV, VAAPI doesn't seem to want to play.  Works fine on my 6th Gen i7!

TIA

You need to make sure omv adds h/w support to the host which is not the default.  Then make sure /dev/dri is passed to Docker and finally upload your zipped logs.

are you mapping /dev/dri into your docker container?

[PaddytheKiwi]

Apologies, I should have been clearer.  I have mapped /dev/dri through to the container, it's basically the same config that works fine on my old gen 6.

Logs attached, first attempt just now is with VAAPI enabled, second is with CPU transcoding.

Thanks again

It is failing for sure,

2021-11-21 05:01:12.793 [DEBUG][20] [FFMPEG]: ffmpeg: intel_memman.c:38: intel_memman_init: Assertion `intel->bufmgr' failed.

It could be a a lot of things, did you confirm that VAAPI works on the host?

Thanks Martin, unfortunately that's where my knowledge starts to run dry. Could you point me in the right direction, not sure how to test if VAAPI is working on the host...

This may be relevant... When I run vainfo in the console (using Portainer) on the nextpvr container on my old (6th gen) PC it returns:

Running the same command on the new setup however produces a very different restlt:

root@0b19ed5ed06f:/app# vainfo
error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment.
error: can't connect to X server!

vainfo: intel_memman.c:38: intel_memman_init: Assertion `intel->bufmgr' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
root@0b19ed5ed06f:/app#

Does this suggest a driver issue?

Thanks again

One more thing... Running vainfo on the host produces this ourput:

root@dub2:~# vainfo
error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment.
error: can't connect to X server!
libva info: VA-API version 1.10.0

Further Update:
VAAPI is now working on the host. I loaded drivers from here: https://dgpu-docs.intel.com/installation...focal.html and vainfo now returns about 100 profiles!

Still not working however on the container. I tried to do tne same installation but got the following messages:

root@0b19ed5ed06f:/app# apt-get install \
> intel-opencl-icd \
> intel-level-zero-gpu level-zero \

I'm dead in the water again!

Martin/sub, I wouldn't waste any time on this on my account. CPU transcoding is working well for the limited times I'm viewing using anything other than Kodi.

Thanks
