VAAPI on N100 Stops Working After 2 Hours, Requires Reboot

Configuration
1

I am using Frigate as an add-on in Home Assistant. Additionally, I have integrated Double Take, Deepstack, CompreFace, and Plate Recognizer. The system is set up to detect humans as well as vehicles and license plates. Currently, I have only two Reolink cameras connected.

I have been trying for a while to get the GPU to work. I have also tried VAAPI and QSV, but neither worked. It constantly shows 0% usage. The only way I can get it to work is by performing a full reboot of the computer, after which it functions for about two hours.

I have repeated this reboot process three times, and each time the behavior is the same—it works for about two to three hours and then stays at 0% usage without recovering.

I saw that I can try using the i965 environment variable, but I got an error stating that i965 couldn’t initialize. When I disable it, the system works for the two hours I mentioned earlier.

i also open this issue at Github, hope this will bring to end this issue.

same issue here.

it used to work in a previous version of home assistant with frigate addon, unsure when this changed but I now observe 100% CPU usage and no GPU used anymore on my N100
