The bug

When Immich attempts to transcode an input video file originally encoded with HEVC (H.265), targeting H.264 output using VAAPI acceleration, the FFmpeg process consistently crashes. The crash occurs after VAAPI has successfully initialized with the correct i965 driver but during the setup or initial processing phase of the h264_vaapi encoder. The crash manifests as a SIGABRT signal received by FFmpeg, originating from an assertion failure within the i965 driver code - Assertion \obj_surface->fourcc == VA_FOURCC_NV12' failed.

Current Behavior:

  1. FFmpeg successfully initializes VAAPI using the bundled i965 driver (Intel i965 driver for Intel(R) Haswell - 2.4.0.pre1 () found within /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/lib/dri/).
  2. The h264_vaapi encoder starts initialization and logs parameters (Profile: High, Entrypoint: EncSlice, RC Mode: CQP, etc.).
  3. FFmpeg abruptly terminates due to a SIGABRT signal.
  4. The underlying cause is an assertion failure within the i965 driver code: ffmpeg: i965_gpe_utils.c:518: gen7_gpe_set_surface2_state: Assertion 'obj_surface->fourcc == VA_FOURCC_NV12' failed.
  5. Immich logs Error occurred during transcoding: ffmpeg was killed with signal SIGABRT and retries the transcode using software encoding (CPU fallback).

Troubleshooting Done:

  • Confirmed host VAAPI setup is correct and functional.
  • Confirmed container has /dev/dri mapped and process should have group permissions via group_add.
  • Determined that necessary VAAPI components (vainfo, i965_drv_video.so) are missing from the container's standard system paths (/usr/bin, /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri).
  • Attempting apt-get install vainfo i965-va-driver inside the container fails due to unmet dependencies (libva2 version conflict), likely caused by mixed Debian stable/testing/sid sources in the base image.
  • Discovered that the bundled Jellyfin FFmpeg build does include VAAPI libs/drivers under /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/lib/dri/, allowing VAAPI initialization.
  • Changed Immich output codec from AV1 (unsupported by HD 4400) to H.264 (supported according to host vainfo).
  • Disabled Hardware Decoding, Tone-mapping, and B-Frames in Immich settings; the SIGABRT crash during H.264 encoding persists when the input is HEVC.
  • Tested with H.264 input files and confirmed transcoding works correctly.
  • This issue seems related to #14050, but manifests as a driver assertion failure rather than just inability to initialize device, specifically when encoding H.264 from HEVC input.

Could the bundled VAAPI drivers/libraries within the immich-server image, particularly the i965 driver used by the Jellyfin FFmpeg build, be investigated or updated to resolve this crash on older-but-VAAPI-capable Intel hardware like Haswell? Alternatively, could the base image dependencies be fixed to allow installation of standard Debian bookworm VAAPI packages without conflict?

Reproduction steps

  1. Set up Immich v1.132.3 via Docker Compose on a host system with an Intel Haswell generation CPU/GPU (e.g., i3-4170 / HD 4400).
  2. Ensure host VAAPI drivers (i965-va-driver, libva, etc.) are correctly installed and vainfo runs successfully on the host. Ensure the user running Docker is in the render group.
  3. Configure docker-compose.yml for immich-server using extends: ... service: vaapi and add group_add: with host render/video GIDs.
  4. Configure Immich Transcoding Settings via UI as described above (VAAPI, H.264 output, HW Decode Off, Tone-mapping Disabled, B-frames 0).
  5. Upload a video file encoded using HEVC (H.265).
  6. Observe the immich_server container logs as the transcoding job is processed.

@mertalev commented on GitHub (May 6, 2025):

I think the issue is that the input video is 10-bit while your processor only supports 8-bit processing. The assertion means the input is in p010 or similar rather than nv12. It should work if you enable tone-mapping as this is currently done in software when hardware decoding is disabled. However, this is not a processor generation we're optimizing for and the behavior here can change in the future. It's much faster to move the tone-mapping to the hardware instead and only do the decoding in software, at which point this issue will reoccur.

Thanks for the suggestion regarding 10-bit input. However, I've investigated further and confirmed the issue also occurs with an 8-bit HEVC input file.

I triggered the transcoding again with Hardware Decoding OFF and Tone Mapping ON (set to Hable). The FFmpeg process still crashed with the exact same SIGABRT and assertion failure: ffmpeg: i965_gpe_utils.c:518: gen7_gpe_set_surface2_state: Assertion 'obj_surface->fourcc == VA_FOURCC_NV12' failed.

Here is the mediainfo output for the specific 8-bit HEVC video that caused the crash this time:

This confirms the problem is not specific to 10-bit input and seems to be a more general issue with the HEVC -> H.264 pipeline using the bundled i965 driver on Haswell hardware, even when the input is standard 8-bit. Anyway, I understand that this hardware generation is not a priority in terms of optimization, so please assign the level of urgency you deem appropriate. Thanks again for taking the time to look into this.

@andresichelero commented on GitHub (May 6, 2025): > I think the issue is that the input video is 10-bit while your processor only supports 8-bit processing. The assertion means the input is in p010 or similar rather than nv12. It should work if you enable tone-mapping as this is currently done in software when hardware decoding is disabled. However, this is not a processor generation we're optimizing for and the behavior here can change in the future. It's much faster to move the tone-mapping to the hardware instead and only do the decoding in software, at which point this issue will reoccur. Thanks for the suggestion regarding 10-bit input. However, I've investigated further and confirmed the issue also occurs with an 8-bit HEVC input file. I triggered the transcoding again with **Hardware Decoding OFF** and **Tone Mapping ON** (set to Hable). The FFmpeg process still crashed with the exact same `SIGABRT` and assertion failure: `ffmpeg: i965_gpe_utils.c:518: gen7_gpe_set_surface2_state: Assertion 'obj_surface->fourcc == VA_FOURCC_NV12' failed.` Here is the `mediainfo` output for the specific 8-bit HEVC video that caused the crash this time: ``` General Complete name : /mnt/ATLAS/nextcloud/data/foxtrot/files/VID_20250416_161723_904.mp4 Format : MPEG-4 Format profile : Base Media Codec ID : isom (isom/iso2/mp41) File size : 6.16 MiB Duration : 10 s 194 ms Overall bit rate : 5 072 kb/s Frame rate : 30.200 FPS Writing application : Lavf56.40.101 Video ID : 2 Format : HEVC Format/Info : High Efficiency Video Coding Format profile : Main@L4@Main Codec ID : hvc1 Codec ID/Info : High Efficiency Video Coding Duration : 10 s 0 ms Bit rate : 5 032 kb/s Width : 720 pixels Height : 1 280 pixels Display aspect ratio : 0.562 Frame rate : 30.200 FPS Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.181 Stream size : 6.00 MiB (97%) Color range : Limited Color primaries : BT.709 Transfer characteristics : BT.709 Matrix coefficients : BT.709 Codec configuration box : hvcC Audio ID : 1 Format : AAC LC Format/Info : Advanced Audio Codec Low Complexity Codec ID : mp4a-40-2 Duration : 10 s 194 ms Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 128 kb/s Channel(s) : 2 channels Channel layout : L R Sampling rate : 44.1 kHz Frame rate : 43.066 FPS (1024 SPF) Compression mode : Lossy Stream size : 159 KiB (3%) Default : Yes Alternate group : 1 ``` And here are the relevant FFmpeg logs showing the crash with this 8-bit input and Tone Mapping enabled: ``` [Nest] 7 - 05/05/2025, 10:11:00 PM LOG [Microservices:MediaService] Transcoding video 80289503-881a-44da-8a4d-293c702b26c6 with VAAPI-accelerated encoding and software decoding [Nest] 7 - 05/05/2025, 10:11:00 PM ERROR [Microservices:MediaRepository] ffmpeg version 7.0.2-Jellyfin Copyright (c) 2000-2024 the FFmpeg developers built with gcc 12 (Debian 12.2.0-14) configuration: --prefix=/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg --target-os=linux --extra-version=Jellyfin --disable-doc --disable-ffplay --disable-ptx-compression --disable-static --disable-libxcb --disable-sdl2 --disable-xlib --enable-lto=auto --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-shared --enable-gmp --enable-gnutls --enable-chromaprint --enable-opencl --enable-libdrm --enable-libxml2 --enable-libass --enable-libfreetype --enable-libfribidi --enable-libfontconfig --enable-libharfbuzz --enable-libbluray --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopus --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libopenmpt --enable-libdav1d --enable-libsvtav1 --enable-libwebp --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 --enable-libzvbi --enable-libzimg --enable-libfdk-aac --arch=amd64 --enable-libshaderc --enable-libplacebo --enable-vulkan --enable-vaapi --enable-amf --enable-libvpl --enable-ffnvcodec --enable-cuda --enable-cuda-llvm --enable-cuvid --enable-nvdec --enable-nvenc libavutil 59. 8.100 / 59. 8.100 libavcodec 61. 3.100 / 61. 3.100 libavformat 61. 1.100 / 61. 1.100 libavdevice 61. 1.100 / 61. 1.100 libavfilter 10. 1.100 / 10. 1.100 libswscale 8. 1.100 / 8. 1.100 libswresample 5. 1.100 / 5. 1.100 libpostproc 58. 1.100 / 58. 1.100 [AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x3209e14c3c0] libva: VA-API version 1.22.0 [AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x3209e14c3c0] libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so [AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x3209e14c3c0] libva: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_22 [AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x3209e14c3c0] libva: /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so init failed [AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x3209e14c3c0] libva: va_openDriver() returns 1 [AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x3209e14c3c0] libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so [AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x3209e14c3c0] libva: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_22 [AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x3209e14c3c0] libva: va_openDriver() returns 0 [AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x3209e14c3c0] Initialised VAAPI connection: version 1.22 [AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x3209e14c3c0] VAAPI driver: Intel i965 driver for Intel(R) Haswell - 2.4.0.pre1 ().

Hmm, that's interesting. Can you set the log level to debug, try transcoding again and share the FFmpeg command outputted in the logs?

Sure! I've set IMMICH_LOG_LEVEL=debug in the .env file and restarted the containers. I then triggered the transcoding for another 8-bit HEVC video file and here it is:

Thanks for providing the specific command to test. I ran it inside the immich_server container as requested.

The command failed, but with a different error than the previous SIGABRT / assertion failure. This time, the error occurred during the FFmpeg filtergraph initialization phase.

It appears the failure is happening within FFmpeg's filter setup, rather than the previous crash inside the i965 driver itself.

I also ran the same command with debug instead of verbose and got a bit more info:

How about if you switch the order of format=nv12 and hwupload:

Wow, that absolutely did the trick! 🎉

Solution: adding the format=nv12 filter to the ffmpeg command, with filter order set to -vf format=nv12,hwupload=extra_hw_frames=64.

Can confirm that the resultant file is working too. The only logs about the filters now is [format_out_0_1 @ 0x748c98002740] auto-inserting filter 'auto_aresample_0' between the filter 'Parsed_anull_0' and the filter 'format_out_0_1'

The only logs about the filters now is `[format_out_0_1 @ 0x748c98002740] auto-inserting filter 'auto_aresample_0' between the filter 'Parsed_anull_0' and the filter 'format_out_0_1'` `mediainfo` from the result file (for reference if needed): ``` foxtrot@vault:/home$ mediainfo 6039768d-d167-43e1-bda6-eaf4e1ee51d5.mp4 General Complete name : 6039768d-d167-43e1-bda6-eaf4e1ee51d5.mp4 Format : MPEG-4 Format profile : Base Media Codec ID : isom (isom/iso2/avc1/mp41) File size : 16.6 MiB Duration : 43 s 933 ms Overall bit rate mode : Variable Overall bit rate : 3 172 kb/s Frame rate : 25.000 FPS Writing application : Lavf61.1.100 Video ID : 1 Format : AVC Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec Format profile : Constrained High@L3.1 Format settings : CABAC / 1 Ref Frames Format settings, CABAC : Yes Format settings, Reference frames : 1 frame Codec ID : avc1 Codec ID/Info : Advanced Video Coding Duration : 43 s 880 ms Bit rate : 3 087 kb/s Width : 720 pixels Height : 1 280 pixels Display aspect ratio : 0.562 Frame rate mode : Constant Frame rate : 25.000 FPS Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Progressive Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.134 Stream size : 16.1 MiB (97%) Color range : Limited Color primaries : BT.601 PAL Transfer characteristics : BT.601 Matrix coefficients : BT.470 System B/G Codec configuration box : avcC ``` Thank you for your help!
