The "GPU Hang (-21)" errors you're experiencing with Intel QSV H.265 decoding are indicative of GPU driver issues with your Intel Core i5-1250P (12th gen Alder Lake) processor.(1) Based on your hardware generation, you should be using the Here's what I recommend: 1. Switch to VAAPI for hardware acceleration: ffmpeg:
hwaccel_args: preset-vaapi2. Ensure you're using the correct driver: The default driver for your generation should be 3. Remove the custom FFmpeg path: Since you're experiencing reliability issues with custom FFmpeg 8.0.1, I'd recommend removing the custom FFmpeg configuration and letting Frigate use its built-in FFmpeg, which is tested and validated:(3) Remove these lines: ffmpeg:
path: /config/custom-ffmpeg4. Simplify your camera configuration: For your Hikvision camera, use the standard RTSP preset:(4)(2) cameras:
GarageDriveway-Hikvision:
ffmpeg:
hwaccel_args: preset-vaapi
inputs:
- path: rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/GarageDriveway-Hikvision
input_args: preset-rtsp-restream
roles:
- audio
- detect
- record5. Address the go2rtc audio warnings: The go2rtc logs show audio codec compatibility issues with your Hikvision camera.(5) The camera is offering multiple audio formats (PCMU/8000, G726/8000, MPEG4-GENERIC/16000) that go2rtc is having trouble with.(5) You may want to adjust the camera's audio settings to use a more standard codec like AAC if possible.(4) The VAAPI preset will automatically handle both H.264 and H.265 streams through profile selection, eliminating the need for separate presets.(1)(2) 📚 Sources: Have another question?

This AI response is not valid, as it is not considering full context of what I've posted and the vaapi issues / attachment or QSV issues / attachment when running with default ffmpeg (moving to 8.0.1 is an attempt to adress the issues observed with default ffmpeg). The embedded Iris XE graphics are also new enough not to require i965 Libra Drivers, so the "hail mary" response doesn't seem to address the issue at heart. |

The AI isn't really trained on anything related to custom ffmpeg or ffmpeg 8, we have not done any testing with ffmpeg 8 at this point. |

Update - still looking for help or thoughts on this. The Hikvision is recommended / suggested on the Frigate Hardware page - I had a lengthy chat with Claude and the gist of this is that it seems that ffmpeg + Intel Iris XE simply do not like the high resolution output by the main stream of the camera. Falling back to SOFTWARE decoding (and spiking my CPU) results in no errors, but a noisy NUC (fan up high all of the time) and of course scalability issues if I try to add more cameras. Here's my override configuration for the camera: hwaccel_args: [] #disable HW accel Here's my conversation with Anthropic / Claude if interested: |

ffmpeg 8 is still very new. You may want to reach out to the ffmpeg folks for better help. https://ffmpeg.org/contact.html |

I've already commented out the custom FFMPEG 8.0.1 (as previously stated, this was an attempt to resolve these issues). My only working state is using software decoding (bypassing either vaapi or qsv). |

You probably should use a substream for detection for that camera. Hardware acceleration isn't used for recording, so you can still record at high resolution and detect at a much lower resolution, something your iGPU will decode. See the official docs: |

Thanks - good suggestion. I'll take a look, I presume that's in the "Detect:" block inside of the Camera settings. |

My Frigate Journey and current issues...
Good day! I started experimenting with Frigate Docker about a month or so ago on my Synology (DS220+ Celeron J4025 with embedded Intel Graphics) for my one camera (Amcrest, 1080p AD110 ). This worked great - knowing that with object detection and VAAPI and it consuming 67% CPU constantly (mostly ffmpeg), to expand my system beyond experiment mode would require some better hardware.
I migrated my configuration to dedicated hardware (Mini PC - Intel Core i5 1250P with Intel Iris Xe Graphics) - Host OS Debian Trixie, Docker CE / Compose to deploy configuration. Containers in experimental env and here are managed by Portainer Agent, I do not have other containers running on the minipc.
Migrated config worked well and I had an early 2000's dome style BNC camera installed by the prior owner of our house that needed removal and updating. Had the Hikvision PoE camera installed, about 20 feet of Cat6 installed professionally to wall plate, and Cat6 from wall plate to PoE switch; PoE switch Cat 5e backhaul to my Router (Firewalla Gold). This camera is the ONLY PoE appliance on the switch, and the other devices on the switch are a Smart TV, HD Homerun tuner, Xbox One, Onkyo Receiver.
Configuration wise, I am mounting NFS shares into the MiniPC host (which persist post reboot) - the NFS shares are both for the docker configs mount point for Frigate and Frigate recordings, both of which are on my NAS (storage redundancy and nightly backups). This has been 100% reliable so far.
The Hikvision camera is awesome, but the reliability of ffmpeg is not great. Things work fine for my wireless Amcrest doorbell camera, not a single issue (ffmpeg or otherwise) with 7.0 default or from my experimental to new production environment.
The logs included here are with CUSTOM FFMPEG (8.0.1) mounted from /configs/custom-ffmpeg as shown in the Frigate configuration file. This was my last resort here with the reliability problems (I have other logs prior to testing out custom ffmpeg, which show ffmpeg restarts at least hourly for various reasons). I have also toyed with the Hikvision settings, updating i-frame intervals, different frame rates, H265 vs H265+, none of which seem to have helped.
I am attaching logs using VAAPI and QSV prior to the ffmpeg custom version. QSV seems to be more reliable here...
