To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
I start cmd
I cd to the directory where Stash.exe is located.
I start Stash.exe in cmd.

Expected behavior
Stash will startup with no errors.

Stash Version: (from Settings -> About):
v0.25.1
Build hash:
bf7cb78

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 11
• Browser Chrome
• 124.0.6367.60

Smartphone (please complete the following information):
N/A

Additional context
I have been trying to compile a new version of ffmpeg.exe thinking that was the issue. But I doubt that now.

The InitHWSupport lines are debug messages from Stash finding what hardware acceleration types the system supports. It simply tries each method with FFmpeg and sees which ones work (I don't think there's any better cross platform way). The debug messages there to help people understand why hardware acceleration is not working if they think it should be - they aren't really errors.

If you don't want these to show up, the simplest way is to change the Log Level in System to info, warning or error. If you're capable of compiling Stash you could get rid of them this way. I think this is the line:

stash/pkg/ffmpeg/codec_hardware.go

Line 74 in 911da87

logger.Debugf("[InitHWSupport] Codec %s not supported. Error output:\n%s", codec, errOutput)

It looks like you have both an NVIDIA GPU and what I assume to be an iGPU

If you want to use VAAPI/ QSV you need a displayout plugged into your iGPU, otherwise it is not activated. If you are on a laptop (using NVIDIA optimus), you ned to enable both iGPU and dGPU
