Based on the error logs, you're experiencing hardware acceleration issues with VAAPI after upgrading to Frigate 0.16. The key errors show: This indicates VAAPI hardware acceleration is failing. Here are the solutions to try: 1. Update Your Hardware Acceleration ConfigurationYour current config uses ffmpeg:
hwaccel_args: preset-vaapi
input_args: preset-rtsp-restream
output_args:
record: preset-record-generic-audio-aac2. Check Your VAAPI DriverYou're using environment:
- LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD3. Verify Hardware Acceleration SetupThe hwaccel docs referenced in the presets documentation recommend ensuring the correct driver is chosen for VAAPI(1). You may need to verify your hardware acceleration setup is working properly with your specific Intel hardware. 4. Fallback OptionIf VAAPI continues to fail, you can temporarily disable hardware acceleration by removing the The issue appears to be related to changes in how Frigate 0.16 handles hardware acceleration with your specific Intel graphics setup. The VAAPI driver may need adjustment for compatibility with the newer version. 📚 Sources: Have another question? Just tag @inkeep. |

Seems solved after use iHD instead of i965 using my Intel Iris Graphics 6100 = Gen8. I don't know why I was using i965 on 0.15 :S does something changed in the documentation? |

The base image was updated to Debian 12 for Frigate 0.16, as did the packaged Intel drivers. It makes sense that some users may need to update the host and/or adjust their iGPU drivers because of those changes. |
