Server Version#: 1.32.2.7100 Synology DS418Play on DSM 7 Hardware transcode used to be working, but now I keep seeing this error in the logs: [FFMPEG] - Failed to initialise VAAPI connection: -1 (unknown libva error). Can someone point me in the right direction for fixing it?

Hello, That’s strange, on my 920+ with J4125 cpu, the hardware transcoding still work even with the 1.32.2.7100 of pms (installed with docker) (I can’t post a screenshot, don’t kown why…)

Check this topic: 1.32.2.7002

There is a regression in the Server Version#: 1.32.2.7100 for J3xxx and J4xxx CPUs, so for now, you should downgrade to build 6999.
