Title: Wolf fails to start on Intel iGPU (Alder Lake-N) with encoder detection and std::bad_alloc errors

I'm trying to set up Wolf on my Debian server which has an integrated Intel N97 GPU (UHD Graphics, Alder Lake-N). The Wolf container gets stuck in a crash loop and restarts continuously.

Depending on the GStreamer configuration in config.toml, I encounter two different fatal errors.

System Details

• OS: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) x86_64
• Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-37-amd64
• CPU: Intel(R) N97 (4) @ 3.60 GHz
• GPU: Intel UHD Graphics [Integrated]
• Docker Version: 28.3.2, build 578ccf6

vainfo output:

libva info: VA-API version: 1.17 (libva 2.12.0)
libva info: Driver version: Intel iHD driver for Intel(R) Gen Graphics - 23.1.1 ()
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints
      VAProfileH264Main               : VAEntrypointEncSlice
      VAProfileHEVCMain               : VAEntrypointEncSlice
      ... (y otros perfiles)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use a system with an integrated Intel GPU similar to the one described above.
2. Set up the docker-compose.yml as provided below.
3. Use the default config.toml with a simple RetroArch application added.
4. Start the container with docker compose up -d.
5. Check the logs with docker logs wolf.

Observed Behavior

The container fails to start and enters a restart loop. The error depends on the configuration:

Scenario 1: Default config.toml

With the default GStreamer encoder order (which prioritizes nvcodec), the application fails immediately.

Relevant Log Snippet:

17:31:03.181617102 DEBUG | /dev/dri/renderD128 vendor: Intel Corporation
17:31:03.182423234 ERROR | Unhandled exception: Unable to find a compatible H.264 encoder, please check [[gstreamer.video.h264_encoders]] in your config.toml or your Gstreamer installation

It seems Wolf is unable to find the NVIDIA encoders (which is expected on an Intel system) and fails before it can try the Intel-compatible ones like qsv or va.

Scenario 2: Modified config.toml to prioritize Intel encoders

As a troubleshooting step, I modified the config.toml to move the qsv and va encoder definitions to the top of the [[gstreamer.video.h264_encoders]] list. After this change, the error is different.

Relevant Log Snippet:

17:16:24.460633544 INFO  | Using H264 encoder: qsv
17:16:24.461085864 INFO  | Using HEVC encoder: qsv
17:16:24.461182954 INFO  | Using legacy pipeline on Intel (/dev/dri/renderD128)
17:16:24.461681889 ERROR | Unhandled exception: std::bad_alloc

In this case, Wolf correctly selects the qsv encoder but then immediately crashes with a std::bad_alloc error. I'm not sure why it's falling back to the "legacy pipeline" or what could be causing the memory allocation error, as the system has plenty of free RAM. It seems to be an issue in how the GStreamer pipeline is constructed.

Expected Behavior

Wolf should successfully initialize on an Intel-based system, select the appropriate qsv or va encoder, start all its services (HTTP, RTSP, etc.), and remain running to accept Moonlight connections.

Sounds like you have a different issue, Wolf definitely runs on Intel iGPUs.

Could you please share the full Wolf logs without edits/cuts and more info about the HW? Have you got any other GPU plugged on your system?

I shared the docker-compose.yml I'm using, where you can see that I'm pulling ghcr.io/games-on-whales/wolf:stable.

These are the full logs when I don't customize the gstreamer configuration:

The first config.toml that you've posted isn't valid, I'm not sure why you are manually writing it instead of using the default, but that's what's causing all your exceptions.

Delete your config.toml so that Wolf creates a valid default file or if you really want to do that yourself just copy and paste the valid default file from https://github.com/games-on-whales/wolf/blob/stable/src/moonlight-server/state/default/config.v5.toml

It finally starts up! The logs now show that it correctly identifies my Intel iGPU and selects the qsv encoder. The only problem now seems to be with PulseAudio, as it fails to connect even after trying to start its own container:
