hey all!

for the life of me, i cannot get VAAPI hardware accelerated encoding to work. i always get this error:

Error: ffmpeg exited with code 234: Device creation failed: -22.
Failed to set value ‹ /dev/dri/renderD128 › for option ‹ vaapi_device ›: Invalid argument
Error parsing global options: Invalid argument`

at ChildProcess.<anonymous> (/app/node_modules/fluent-ffmpeg/lib/processor.js:180:22)
at ChildProcess.emit (node:events:524:28)
at ChildProcess._handle.onexit (node:internal/child_process:293:12)
  • AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT
  • i have mesa-va-drivers and mesa-libgallium installed from backports.
  • the container is rootful.
  • /dev/dri is mapped
  • the render group id matches between host and container.
  • SELinux is set to allow containers access to devices.

no joy.

i’ve also tried updating the packages from trixie and sid, and installing the firmware-linux-nonfree.
i’ve tried disabling SELinux. i’ve tried making the container permissive.

no change.

any help is appreciated! thank you!
