Description
🐛 Describe the bug
When trying to set the videoreader backend to cuda (torchvision.set_video_backend('cuda')) I get the error below:
RuntimeError: cuda video backend is not available.
I followed the instructions to use the videoreader on cuda. I.e. I installed pytorch nightly and build torchvision from source. My DockerFile is given below:
FROM nvidia/cuda:11.8.0-devel-ubuntu22.04
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y python3-pip
# RUN pip3 install --upgrade pip3
RUN apt-get update
RUN yes | apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit
RUN pip3 install --pre torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cu118
RUN git clone https://github.com/pytorch/vision.git
WORKDIR "/vision"
RUN python3 setup.py develop
RUN pip3 install ffmpeg-python
RUN pip3 install av --upgrade
As far as I can see the environment has been installed with the expected versions etc. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure from the provided Dockerfile, then inspect the torchvision.set_video_backend('cuda') entry point and the source build invoked by setup.py develop. Confirm whether the CUDA video backend is built and available in this environment; done means the documented setup enables the backend or clearly identifies the missing requirement.
