frigate: [Config Support]: pipe:: Invalid argument

Describe the problem you are having

Have a great weekend everyone. I am in the process of moving Home Assistant from my DS920+ to a new Unraid server. So new processor i5-13600K comes to use. Also changed that now I don’t want to run Frigate in Home Assistant itself, but as Docker in Unraid OS.

I took my old configuration 1:1, as it ran very stable for the last few months. I then changed the hwaccel_args based on Nick’s tips.

Interestingly, the error message “pipe:: Invalid argument”, however pipe does not appear at all in my configuration. Does anyone know what I need to change to make it work?

Version
