Intel N100 mini pc - Ubuntu 22.04 - Quicksync not being used

The issue seems clear to me, from hardware detection: Failed to initialize VA /dev/dri/render D128

Just not sure how to correct. Direction would be awesome. Thanks!

Hi, are you able to try the 4.8 beta server and see how it compares?

[krislemke 1]

Yup. Seems to work now. Thanks!!

@krislemke, what does your transcoding page look like now that it's working? I made the jump to the latest beta version as well and now I can see two software encoders showing up - are you seeing the N100 register as a hardware decoder or encoder? I tried transcoding a few different videos too and never saw it leverage the hardware acceleration during playback.

@krislemkeignore me. I found a typo in the GIDLIST on my docker-compose file for the render option. After correcting that (as well as updating to the latest beta), all of the hardware decoder/encoder options showed up and it's working flawlessly now. Transcoding a 4K H265 stream down to a 720p H264 stream used to push the CPU to around 80% of its capacity and now it's < 5% utilization. Quality is still really good even on the high speed settings, so I'm super happy with the performance of this little N100 processor.
