DVR Transcoding Started to Fail - Error submitting video frame to the encoder

Channels DVR Server Troubleshooting
#1

Recently my encoder has just decided to break. I haven't changed anything hardware or software wise, no OS updates, no rebooting. It just started failing recently:

The player just constantly freezes, saying encoding, encoding stopped. over and over and I can't get a stream anymore for encoded content

What kernel version (uname -a)

#4

Still having trouble with my 15th gen iGPU. Failing back to my ARC310 card works fine. It stutters, goes into negative frame rates -5.4 for example. then goes nuts to about 200ftp then settles back at around 60fps which is the sweet spot.

Something similar with A770 cards but my A310 works fine. My iGPU worked fine for awhile and then started failing about 2 months ago:
