Tvheadend

Hi,

i try to use vaapi transcoding with tvheadend.
When i create a codec profile i can select all vaapi codecs. But when i create the profiles the Type is <unknown> and the codec profile can not be enabled.

I've tried it with Ubuntu 22.04 (Kernel 5.15) and 22.10 (Kernel 5.19). On both systems, the same behavior. The vainfo looks good for my perspective:

error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is invalid or not set in the environment.
error: can't connect to X server!
