[HW Accel Support]: intel 6th gen now uses iHD instead of i965

[nomorsug]

Describe the problem you are having

After upgrading to 0.16-beta3 ffmpeg started crashing for all cameras. Using intel 6th gen cpu with vaapi hwaccel and previously setting LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965 from docker compose.

Removing LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965 stopped the crashes and vaapi now reports it's using iHD

Some of the Intel packages were upgraded for 0.16, so this may just be because of that.

Are you actually having an issue?

[nomorsug]

I did before changing the driver name, this is more about reporting it for documentation update.

If somebody has 7th gen cpu to test and confirm this is the same there.

[hawkeye217]

Great, thanks for letting us know. It'd be good to get some others to test this before we change the official docs.

I run on a 7200u and can confirm the same result after removing the i965 line in docker

Great, thanks for confirming. We'll update the docs.
