Old gpu hardware acceleration problem (Failed to initialize VA)

[Glebaaaa 0]

Hello.

I try to hardware accelerate my emby contrainer in docker. My gpu is very old (Radeon HD 6310) but it should be supported by VAAPI or I misunderstood something.

The error is: Failed to initialize VA /dev/dri/renderD128. Error -1

vainfo from host:

Spoiler

error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment.
error: can't connect to X server!
libva info: VA-API version 1.4.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/r600_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_4
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA-API version: 1.4 (libva 2.4.0)
vainfo: Driver version: Mesa Gallium driver 18.3.6 for AMD PALM (DRM 2.50.0 / 5.10.0-0.bpo.3-amd64, LLVM 7.0.1)

      VAProfileH264High               : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileNone                   : VAEntrypointVideoProc
 

Im almost sure docker container is configured properly, /dev/dri:/dev/dri is set, PUID and PGID set to user with "render" group.

I also trying to chmod -R 777 /dev/dri but problem still exist.

Trying the same thing in jellyfin and it working correctly.

Problem solved! 
After installing any beta version newer than current "latest" branch (emby/embyserver:latest), gpu is recognized correctly.
So what about beta versions, they are safe for daily use?

Overall yes, occasionally there will be a change that does break things but usually are fixed rather fast.
