i’m starting to think it’s the debian base of this container image. it may just be too out of date for my GPU.

i think i’m giving up on this for now.

thanks all!

hey all!

for the life of me, i cannot get VAAPI hardware accelerated encoding to work. i always get this error:

Error: ffmpeg exited with code 234: Device creation failed: -22.

Failed to set value ‘/dev/dri/renderD128’ for option ‘vaapi_device’: Invalid argument

Error parsing global options: Invalid argument`

  • AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT
  • the peertube vaapi transcoding plugin is installed
  • i have mesa-va-drivers and mesa-libgallium installed from bookworm backports.
  • the container is rootful.
  • /dev/dri is mapped
  • the render group id matches between host and container.
  • SELinux is set to allow containers access to devices.

no joy.

i’ve also tried updating the packages from trixie and sid, and installing the firmware-linux-nonfree.

i’ve tried disabling SELinux. i’ve tried making the container permissive.

no change.

any help is appreciated! thank you!
