VAAPI working/passing arguments?

[kdackiw 1]

From my Emby docker I can use its ffmpeg and vaapi (backed by qsv way below) to pull frames.  Setting up the plugin for vaapi doesn't seem to inject any parameters into ffmpeg:

"[2026-05-18 18:08:41.323] [DEBUG] FFmpeg command: /bin/ffmpeg -ss 3457.168 -i <path> -vframes 1 -vf scale=320:-1 -q:v 17"

This is with the attached config.

You should ask plugin dev here.

The hardware acceleration is only for OCR detection as it will have very little to no impact on the other detection methods.
What you are seeing is the thumbnail extraction progress which does not use hardware either.

I should add a disclaimer to that in the settings.
