Help with Hardware Acceleration: Docker, Debian, AMD Radeon Vega 10

[majorsl 20]

Hi all, first off - is this mission critical? Not really, it would be very nice to have for some tone mapping to support some older TVs in the house.

History: I've run Emby Premiere for a long time on my Synology in Docker without hardware transcoding. My 1817+ really doesn't have the capabilities.  I recently got handed a Beelink NUC for free.  I moved a lot of services from an old RPi to it via Docker (it runs the latest Debian.)

I also spun up Frigate (a free security NVR) and it uses hardware acceleration just fine via Docker.  Here's my VAINFO from its Docker container:

vainfo: VA-API version: 1.17 (libva 2.10.0) vainfo: Driver version: Mesa Gallium driver 22.3.6 for AMD Radeon Vega 10 Graphics (raven, LLVM 15.0.6, DRM 3.49, 6.1.0-20-amd64) vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints VAProfileMPEG2Simple : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileMPEG2Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVC1Simple : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVC1Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVC1Advanced : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileHEVCMain : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileHEVCMain : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileHEVCMain10 : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileJPEGBaseline : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVP9Profile0 : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVP9Profile2 : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileNone : VAEntrypointVideoProc

I have tried to get Emby to see the same hardware using both Env variables as /dev/dri and /dev/dri/renderD128 - the latter of which Frigate uses successfully.

It seems like it may be detecting the hardware, but then doesn't find any codecs:

Info App: Starting entry point Emby.Server.MediaEncoding.Api.EncodingManagerEntryPoint

Info CodecManager: CodecList:

Info TaskManager: Hardware Detection Completed after 0 minute(s) and 0 seconds

I feel like I'm missing something, maybe it just isn't supported on my hardware, or Docker doesn't like to share devices between containers.

Thanks for any hints or input!

Interestingly, I partly solved my issue by giving the linuxserver.io Emby container a try.  With the same settings I am able to select hardware decoding options.

Tone mapping, however, doesn't seem to be working well.  Colors are still washed out and it isn't as fast as I'd hoped.

HI @majorslusing the emby server docker container, please attach the emby server and hardware detection log files. Thanks.
