SOLVED: Trying to get hardware acceleration to work with intel arc a380

[iif2fo]

I tried playback with i915.enable_guc=3 and without it in the kernel parameters. Both ways gave me "Playback failed due to a fatal player error".

With i915.enable_guc=3

Code:

The transcode fails with:

Code:

[av1_vaapi @ 0x55be95d2ec80] Failed to map output buffers: 24 (internal encoding error).
[av1_vaapi @ 0x55be95d2ec80] Output failed: -5.

I figure maybe it's easier to try to configure hardware acceleration without i915.enable_guc=3 since I don't really need Low-Power Encoding... yet.
