GFX1150 - Hardware acceleration transcoding error

[nycom83]

Hello,

When I enable hardware acceleration for transcoding, the transcoding stops working. All settings are correctly configured.
I'm getting an error when trying to play a media file that requires transcoding.

It seems that '-init_hw_device vaapi=amddev/dri/renderD128' is not added when trying to transcode the file.

Environment:

- OS: Debian 12
- Linux Kernel: 6.12.25
- Virtualization: Docker
- FFmpeg Version: 7.1.1-Jellyfin
- Playback Method: web
- Hardware Acceleration: Yes
- GPU Model:  AMD Radeon Graphics (RADV GFX1150)
- Plugins: Default
- Reverse Proxy: Traefik
- Jellyfin version: 10.10.7

It seems that '-init_hw_device vaapi=amddev/dri/renderD128' is not added when trying to transcode the file.
If I add these parameters, the media is transcoded
