Hi, I am facing the same issue on a dual GPU laptop. I am running wolf using the Nvidia manual method.

Specifically it identifies the Nvidia GPU in DEBUG logs but I still get this error ERROR | [GSTREAMER] Pipeline error: Internal data stream error.

Here are the logs from wolf container
https://pastebin.com/MJxfLn02

And here is my docker compose

services:
  wolf:
    image: ghcr.io/games-on-whales/wolf:stable
    container_name: wolf
    environment:

    volumes:

    restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
  nvidia-driver-vol:

I am on Arch and the Nvidia-smi also shows that the container is using GPU

Moved to a new issue because this is completely unrelated to other one.

@ConsularParadi Your card is quite old, and it only support HW encoding for H.264:

05:27:33.625084800 INFO  | Using H264 encoder: nvcodec
05:27:33.626284385 INFO  | Using HEVC encoder: x265
05:27:33.626301096 WARN  | Software HEVC encoder detected
05:27:33.627140823 INFO  | Using AV1 encoder: aom
05:27:33.627164271 WARN  | Software AV1 encoder detected

Moonlight by default asks for HEVC though

[RTSP] Moonlight requested video format HEVC

Which is causing the issue that you are seeing. You can try changing the encoding format to H264 in the Moonlight settings and see if that helps.

You can try changing the encoding format to **H264** in the Moonlight settings and see if that helps.

Thank you so much @ABeltramo. It works really well now, even better than sunshine on a wayland compositor.
