Hi all, I have a fresh install of 1.36.5. In the logs I see the error message "Failed to create hwdevice_ctx" for all the cameras.

Ubuntu 20.04, Intel machine.

Is there something basic I have missed? Any tips?

Thanks :-)

Presumably trying to use hardware acceleration. Turn it off and try again.

Thanks, I haven't enabled that, but will check it.
