[Config Support]: Did not detect hwaccel, using a GPU for accelerated video decoding is highly recommended

[lukicsl]

Describe the problem you are having

I am running frigate in docker compose on a raspberry pi 5/8GB:

version: "3.9"
services:
  frigate:
    container_name: frigate
    privileged: true # this may not be necessary for all setups
    restart: unless-stopped
    image: ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:0.14.0-beta4
    #image: ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:stable
    shm_size: "100mb" # update for your cameras based on calculation above
    devices:
      - /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb # passes the USB Coral, needs to be modified for other versions
      - /dev/video10:/dev/video10
    volumes:
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /datavol/frigate:/config
      - /datavol/frigate/media:/media/frigate
      - type: tmpfs # Optional: 1GB of memory, reduces SSD/SD Card wear
        target: /tmp/cache
        tmpfs:
          size: 1000000000
    ports:
      - "5000:5000"
      - "8554:8554" # RTSP feeds
      - "8555:8555/tcp" # WebRTC over tcp
      - "8555:8555/udp" # WebRTC over udp
    environment:
      FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD: "password"

as it seems the gpu is not used:

what am I doing wrong here

You need to configure RPi hwaccel manually https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/hardware_acceleration#raspberry-pi-34

[lukicsl]

what else except the things I done in compose and config files:

version: "3.9"
services:
  frigate:
    container_name: frigate
    privileged: true # this may not be necessary for all setups

and

    ffmpeg:
      hwaccel_args: preset-rpi-64-h265

do I need to do manually?

[NickM-27]

The reason the log was printed is because the hwaccel is only set at the camera level,

you likely want to set it at the global level

ffmpeg:
  hwaccel_args: preset-rpi-64-h264

[lukicsl]

two questions:

1. can I mix H264 and H265 in different camera definitions
2. should I see some usage here:
   

[NickM-27]

1. Yes, just good to also have it set globally
2. No, RPi does not support GPU statistics

[NickM-27]

1. Likely an issue with the camera or the decoder in the pi.
2. Could be an issue with delay between detection and recording processes

[lukicsl]

I will open another thread for that
