Problem with camera stream

[championc]

I have to apologise in advance, because I have no idea as to what the issue is, or how to resolve it.

Here is the logfile section, that repeats over and over

you can't use hwaccel_args on this camera because the camera is h265 and your hardware does not support GPU decoding h265

[championc]

Ah rightSo how do I change the configuration for it to work please ?

[NickM-27]

change

    ffmpeg:
      hwaccel_args: preset-vaapi

to

    ffmpeg:
      hwaccel_args: []

Thanks this solved my issue too. Got me stumped as I have 2 almost identical intel mini pc's, same config , one with a coral usb and other with coral pcei but the second failed to stream the same H265 cameras.
But one is debian 13 bare bones with frigate and the other runs in proxmox. Frigate picks up the integrated gpu on the debian but not the one on proxmox. Most likely not passing through

Added this and now passing through but hwaccel_args still not working on the proxmox lxc
devices:

• /dev/dri:/dev/dri

Super stuff. Many thanks. Hugely appreciated
