services.frigate.vaapiDriver
Force usage of a particular VA-API driver for video acceleration. Use together with settings.ffmpeg.hwaccel_args.
Setting this is not required for VA-API to work, but it can help steer VA-API towards the correct card if you have multiple.
For VA-API to work you must enable hardware.graphics.enable (sufficient for AMDGPU) and pass for example
pkgs.intel-media-driver (required for Intel 5th Gen. and newer) into hardware.graphics.extraPackages.
