tvheadend 4.2.7.17 libav codec error

Added by Radu-Nicolae Botezatu about 6 years ago

hello, I am using tvheadend 4.2.6 on Ubuntu 10.04 server since one year without problems. today I searched for an update and I saw version 4.2.7. I added the new repo address and installed the newest version (4.2.7). everything was without error.
I am using tvheadend with transcoding and with 4.2.7 I got these errors:
libav: Undefined constant or missing '(' in 'high'
libav: Unable to parse option value "high"
libav: Error setting option profile to value high.

I tried to repair it installing different codecs and libraries but none helped.
My solution was to compile from source 4.2.6 and use it like before.
can someone give a hint about my problem?

thank you

Do you try to build latest 4.3 from git?
am using it on 14.04 without problem.

Hi, not yet. My server is 2000km away and I didn't want to play too much.

I will try it in the near future.

i came back after trying with 4.3.1
but i can not see the trasnscoding settings anymore. i can select only disable or copy.
i installed the application by using "apt install"

did i miss something in the configuration?

another point was that i was able to login only with admin user, all other users were unable to login.

To have all features you need to build package yourself.

Positive or this is that you can have hardware accelerated transcoding
with VAAPI NVenc
