Describe the problem you are having

I ditched my ol' AMD graphics card and replaced it by an NVIDIA RTY 3050. I still have issues when trying to enable hwaccel; the cameras refuse to connect.

I've followed the guides and made changes to the docker-compose file as well as installed the NVIDIA Container Toolkit. I think that I've properly specified the GPU to Docker. I also determined that the h264 codec is applicable to my card before noting this in the config file. Somewhere, though, I must have screwed-up. If somebody could please have a look to see where I may have made a mistake, I'd be very appreciative...

Not so sure why those 2 ports are bound.

ah yes, that is the issue, the ports are already in use. Do you have the webrtc camera integration installed in home assistant?

Sorry, @NickM-27 , I just checked. Yup, it was enabled. And quickly disabled! It's rebooting now...

Well, that did it; I've got hwaccel enabled and my cameras are connecting. However, my CPU is still going nuts at 30-something %

my only suggestion would be to use the sub stream for the garage camera

Okay, I'll do that. Thanks for the suggestion, Nick.
Meanwhile here's the output of htop. Seems like lotsa ffmpeg stuff going on. Is this to be expected?

NickM-27 Nov 5, 2024
Collaborator Sponsor

yes, that is expected

heviiguy Nov 5, 2024
Author

yes, that is expected

Well that's reassuring. The high CPU useage, however, has got me a bit bummed. This is the reason why I replaced the archaic AMD card earlier this evening 😕.
