From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You might need to also add --gidmap=n:{video_gid}:1, otherwise the host video group won't have a matching group in the container's user namespace. n can be any number you pick, so long as it doesn't clash with an existing gid in the container. Unsure if --group-add=keep-groups does this already. You can check /proc/self/gid_map to see what is already being mapped.
Of course the container user will need group n (from the gidmap flag above) either as primary or in the supplementary groups.
[edit: I wrote this at 3am on my phone, and I misunderstood how the --gidmap flag works. This code won't work, but I think the diagnosis is correct: there's no mapping from the host's video group to the container's user namespace, see my other comment in reply to OP]
