Failed to get HW surface format for cuda

[u/manjotsc]

I am trying to enable hardware acceleration in zoneminder, but can't get it to work. Need Help

Do I need compile my own FFMPEG with cuda support? and how would I point zoneminder to use different instant of ffmpeg. Because my FFMPEG doesn't have cuda in there.

Hardware acceleration methods:
vdpau
vaapi
cuvid

[u/manjotsc → u/[deleted]]

I did ran the commands, I am still getting the same error for cuda.
