[vaapi @ 0x63acd0] Failed to create a VAAPI device

[Lcmasdf]

I try to do hardware decode on Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K using ffmpeg and vaapi. I installed libva libva-utils libdrm intel-vaapi-driver and recompiled ffmpeg with --enable-vaapi configure.

It seems all right, but when I run "ffmpeg -hwaccel vaapi -hwaccel_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -i video.mov output.yuv" try to do decode and a get the following error:

[vaapi @ 0x63acd0] Failed to create a VAAPI device
vaapi hwaccel requested for input stream #0:0, but cannot be initialized.
[h264 @ 0x12a8ce0] decode_slice_header error
[h264 @ 0x12a8ce0] no frame!
Error while decoding stream #0:0: Invalid data found when processing input

It seems to show there are some errors with vaapi, but I can't find any doc about it . Any tips is appreciate。

I guess your problem might be on ffmpeg configuration and if it is indeed able to find iHD driver. Normally I'd need to export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=IHD and then ffmpeg just works.

$ffmpeg -hwaccel vaapi -hwaccel_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -hwaccel_output_format vaapi -i -f null -

I don't keep yuv file.

Are you using Wayland - there are a number of open tickets that seem to have similar behaviours with Wayland.
