Describe the problem you are having

when hwaccel_args is set to preset-intel-qsv-h265, none of the streams work. It looks like the container cant reach the GPU but I'vs already piped it the /dev/dri folder, give it rwm permissions, checked SElinux logs, even tried doing this again in a rootful container and it just would not work on this interl B570 GPU. When set to auto, streams are all low res and fall back to mjpeg.

Can you see /dev/dri/renderD128 from inside the container?

You may need to update the driver on your host. Does preset-vaapi work?

what driver should I have installed on the host? I thought that was all done inside the container

The Intel media driver, usually in distros as intel-media-va-driver and intel-media-va-driver-non-free

dnf install libva-intel-media-driver on the host, rebooted. same behavior. turned on preset-vaapi instead of auto. same behavior.

Looking at the host vainfo, its a little different than the vainfo results from the container. it shows fewer profiles and none of them for HEVC/H265.

installing the media driver from the nonfree rpmfusion gave me more profiles, including the missing HEVC profiles.
the problem still persists though

I tried doing a qsv stream in the container, it errored out but vaapi did work within the container, just not in frigate in the container. the ffmpeg within the container was able to pull off vaapi manually somehow.

QSV looks like this:
frigate@spyro:~$ podman exec -it systemd-frigate /usr/lib/ffmpeg/7.0/bin/ffmpeg -hwaccel qsv -hwaccel_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -hwaccel_output_format qsv -i rtsp://spyro:[email protected]:53595/Streaming/Channels/101 -t 10 -f null -

If vaapi is working, just run that with preset-vaapi. There's no difference in speeds or quality, it's just a matter of what your iGPU supports.

vaapi work from the CLI in the container. it doesnt seem to work in frigate itself. I can only get mjpeg streams out of this thing. I'm using an intel B570. its possible some established older stuff might not work properly with it like VAAPI. from what I'm reading, this card seems to have a reputation for preferring the stuff nobody has ready yet.

No, that does change how the detectors process the stream.

mentaluproar Nov 6, 2025

would stretching the substream pre-detect create a higher load for the frigate machine than simply disabling the substream and letting it scale down the primary stream its already getting?

hawkeye217 Nov 6, 2025

No

mentaluproar Nov 6, 2025

wouldI be stretching the detect stream globally from the detect line or from the go2rtc area and letting the detect stream figure out the new resolution of the restream itself?

hawkeye217 Nov 6, 2025

You'll use a lot more CPU if you change resolution with go2rtc, re-encoding will be required.

I'll add my 2 cents, sorry to hop on your ticket but we're in the same boat.

I have yet to get either qsv profile to work in frigate with my battlemage b570 either. I'm running Ubuntu 25.10 with the stock intel drivers, using the kobuk-team/intel-graphics-testing ppa didn't help either.

I've been using vaapi since upgrading my server, which is fine for now, but qsv would obviously be preferred due to its lower cpu and power usage.

I also have the jellyfin container and it does work with qsv without issue. To me, this indicates an issue with the frigate image and not a host driver.

$ docker exec -it frigate /usr/lib/ffmpeg/7.0/bin/ffmpeg -v verbose -hide_banner -hwaccel qsv -qsv_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -hwaccel_output_format qsv -i "http://192.168.1.151/flv?port=1935&app=bcs&stream=channel0_main.bcs&user=admin&password=redacted" -c:v h264_qsv -f null -

vs

[AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x5a269248fcc0] VAAPI driver: Intel iHD driver for Intel(R) Gen Graphics - 25.3.4 (192fe0f).

To update this we will have to update to a new distribution method for Intel's drivers, I am not sure if we want to do that for 0.17

I'm open to testing any test builds if that would help.

Wait a min... looks like we don't need new intel drivers and it may just be an ffmpeg thingy

No, Jellyfin's ffmpeg package includes intel drivers, as you can see the intel driver version is updated in your output

Does your hack also allow openvino to work for detectors?

I have also been battling with this issue for the couple of days. I finally did a google search for "frigate battlemage" and limited it to the last month to find this discussion.

It sound like I am out of luck using this card with official Frigate until 0.18 comes out?

mrplow, does your hack work with 0.16 or does it require 0.17?

I thought Olloma was going to be the biggest bleeding edge issue with this card, but since they recently added support for Vulkan, that turned out to be easy.

It works on 16.2
But, I was getting some issues on one of my cameras and didn't look into it further. So, I'm still using vaapi

I have Ollama working fine with this config https://github.com/bpoulliot/ollama-intel-arc/blob/main/docker-compose.yml
Edit just reread your post and see you've got it working too.

I am still learning podman, but I managed to build a new image from a frigate pull, which replaces the ffmpeg with the one from Jellyfin. That does seem to fix ffmpeg issues.

Unfortunately, I cannot get any of the GPU based detector models to run. They each die with various different error messages. I was hoping that installing the jellyfin ffmpeg would update the GPU drivers for all apps, but either that is not the case, or I have not figured out the correct configuration -- or not built the models correctly.
