Immich: QuickSync not working unless OpenVINO is installed?

[tremor021]

Okay, upon investigation, I probably spotted a little bug in the install script:

While the devices are passed through, the permissions are only set up correctly when also installing OpenVINO:

This should probably always be done, even when not installing OpenVINO, right?

I ran the following to adjust the setup:

chgrp video /dev/dri
chmod 755 /dev/dri
chmod 660 /dev/dri/*
adduser immich video
adduser immich render

And now HW accelerated transcoding seems to work after restarting the LXC:

@vhsdream maybe pull out this code block outside of OpenVINO?

@tremor021 Yep, the block should just be executed regardless, and also I've removed an IF block for adding the immich user to the video and render groups a bit further down in the script.
