12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1265UE × 12
Intel Iris Xe (96EU)
0.8.7-beta-docker-vaapi
docker compose

`Checking driver iHD device /dev/dri/renderD128

Trying display: drm
Failed to open the given device!

Checking driver i965 device /dev/dri/renderD128

Checking driver RadeonSI device /dev/dri/renderD128

Any suggestions?

TimeForTacos what does your docker compose look like?

services:
    ersatztv:
      image: jasongdove/ersatztv:latest-vaapi
      container_name: ersatztv
      security_opt:
        - no-new-privileges:true
      restart: "unless-stopped"

      volumes:

        - $DATADIR/Movies:/movies
        - $DATADIR/YouTube:/youtube
        - "/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro"
      environment:

        PUID: $PUID
        PGID: $PGID
      devices:
        - /dev/dri:/dev/dri

I didn't have the devices line originally, it added it to see if it would help (it didn't). I also tried /dev/dri/renderD128 instead and that didn't work.

TimeForTacos Please paste the troubleshooting > VAAPI output from the container that has been recreated with /dev/dri passed through.

You may have solved it! I've been stopping, starting, and restarting as i tweaked the yml file. i didn't recreate it. using down then up commands i now have:

Checking driver iHD device /dev/dri/card1

Trying display: drm
vainfo: VA-API version: 1.18 (libva 2.18.0)
vainfo: Driver version: Intel iHD driver for Intel(R) Gen Graphics - 23.2.1 ()

That looks successful; I would try an ffmpeg profile with iHD driver and /dev/dri/renderD128 device. If that device doesn't work then you can try the /dev/dri/card1 device.
