Transcoding broken after performing update - Clockw3rks - 2025-12-11

Last week I was not seeing the error messages I have listed below. Then on Sunday I did an update and now transcoding is broken. I'm pretty sure I made no intentional changes to filter configuration unless it was a default setting changed by the update.

[AVFilterGraph @ 0x79e046e2c300] Error initializing filters

I'm set up for hardware transcoding and are using VAAPI. Any suggestions about how I should approach further troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated. Like I mentioned above, this was all working last week.
