Transcoding Codec Error Rpi
Added by Manuel 3 almost 6 years ago
Hi,
I've just setup tvh 4.2.4-dmo1~bpo9+1~rpt1 on raspbian stretch,
I can setup streaming but I get the following error when I use the Hardware-accelerated transcoding:

I've already got streaming working on another pi running LibreElec and the TVH Service Plugin,
but unfortunately my headless setup keeps bugging.
Thanks for any help!

Hardware transcoding isn't available for the Pi yet AFAIA. Although I've seen "Unable to parse option value "high"" before, please open an issue for it.
RE: Trnscoding Codec Error Rpi - Added by Manuel 3 almost 6 years ago
As I've said:
I have transcoding running flawlessly on a RPI 3 with LibreElec and a TVH Plugin from here: https://www.kodinerds.net/index.php/Thread/58252-LibreELEC-Tvheadend-mit-GPU-Transcoding/
But I'd like to have it running on bare raspbian...

Thanks for the link, I'll look into this and get back to you, please bump this thread if I don't reply in a few days!

RE: Trnscoding Codec Error Rpi - Added by Mark Clarkstone almost 6 years ago
I've sent an e-mail to CvH to ask for info on how Libreelec is able to do this so I can look into getting it on Raspbian, I hope I have the right address!
RE: Trnscoding Codec Error Rpi - Added by C vH almost 6 years ago
You need at least the 4.3 builds from http://build.mycvh.de/ .
Unfortunately I had no idea that RPi transcoding works for Tvh at LE .
It was build with linking against a ffmpeg binary instead using tvh build in one (a holy mess with cross compiling). I only knew that the ffmpeg binary itself was supporting the rpi transcoding.
just have a look at the options used (there are x86_64/generic and rpi options)
https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/blob/master/packages/addons/addon-depends/ffmpegx/package.mk#L41
for Tvh I use this options
https://github.com/CvH/LibreELEC.tv/blob/9.0/tvh-4.3/packages/addons/service/tvheadend42/package.mk#L21-L82
maybe some setting is missing somewhere for you ?
RE: Trnscoding Codec Error Rpi - Added by Manuel 3 almost 6 years ago
Thanks for your help guys!!
I'm currently trying to compile tvh with the presented options,
will report my status back
btw: I have a pi transcoding DVBS Content since 2015: https://tvheadend.org/boards/4/topics/16680?r=16778#message-16778
So it should be quite clear that the RPI3 is more than capable to do this
RE: Trnscoding Codec Error Rpi - Added by C vH almost 6 years ago
I know that it is working with ffmpeg but I thought it is borked with Tvh for the RPi.
RE: Trnscoding Codec Error Rpi - Added by Manuel 3 almost 6 years ago
Thanks for your help,
compiling with the options from @CvH worked and transcodes fine!

RE: Trnscoding Codec Error Rpi - Added by Mark Clarkstone almost 6 years ago
Interestingly it does work, but only with 4.2 O.o. Anyway, I've updated #4572!
RE: Trnscoding Codec Error Rpi - Added by C vH almost 6 years ago
I have also a lot reports that HW transcoding is broken for 4.3 at LE with recent (1-2months) changes (x86_64).
Not sure that this is the actually problem but maybe (no time yet to search the problem)

RE: Trnscoding Codec Error Rpi - Added by Manuel 3 almost 6 years ago
Unfortunately I still have hiccups every few seconds on the raspbian build...
I'm using 4.2.7-34~g036b9cbab now but I cannot see where they come from, tvh doesn't log any errors.
gpu_mem is set to 256
Is there something tuned differently in libreelec?
RE: Transcoding Codec Error Rpi - Added by C vH almost 6 years ago
we have an highly optimised build for RPi, but that shouldn't be the problem
maybe too old drivers/versions ?
RE: Transcoding Codec Error Rpi - Added by Manuel 3 almost 6 years ago
I'm using a Sat>Ip receiver as a box so there shouldn't be any driver issues?
Only difference I see is the ffmpeg version, but LE reports something about version 8.?
Anyways I blame it on a propably fauly Power Supply, but it is remote, I get back there in a few days
RE: Transcoding Codec Error Rpi - Added by C vH almost 6 years ago
depending, LE9 ships soon with ffmpeg 4.1, currently 4.0 for Tvh
RE: Transcoding Codec Error Rpi - Added by Martin Walter almost 6 years ago
I think this is a duplicate of #5308 and already fixed by @perexg in recent 4.2.7 and master branches. Maybe just build and try again...
RE: Transcoding Codec Error Rpi - Added by Manuel 3 almost 6 years ago
I still have hiccups on transcoded streams on a fresh raspbian and following the instructions from #4572
There is no error output and it seems as if the Pi cannot keep up with transcoding, CPU is at ~50% with a single DVB SD stream.
I also switched power supply, but still...
It's working fine on LE though :/

use LE
hehe, yeah that would be the easiest solution ;)
I'd really like to run this on vanilla raspbian to test if HD is also possible, and I really don't need kodi.bin running on this one
i debugged the transcoding now for a bit and the only line which keeps popping up is:
mpegts: too much queued table input data (over 2MB), discarding new
(goes up to 50MB over time, the webui is frozen at that point)
RE: Transcoding Codec Error Rpi - Added by C vH almost 6 years ago
and I really don't need kodi.bin running on this one
just to add (if someone else read it) you can add an
systemctl stop kodi
to the autoexec.sh to work "headless" - it works and is used a lot even we don't promote it
RE: Transcoding Codec Error Rpi - Added by Martin Walter almost 6 years ago
@C vH
Kudos for what you've achieved. These static dependencies are driving me crazy building for all the various Synology platforms with outdated kernel and driver versions as well. Are you actually integrating all those static ffmpeg patches in the dynamic versions you are linking or are you just "ignoring" them? Any advice appreciated.
RE: Transcoding Codec Error Rpi - Added by C vH almost 6 years ago
We are building Tvh against https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/blob/master/packages/addons/addon-depends/ffmpegx/package.mk
nothing else is added.
Hint, don't use the Tvh included ffmpeg etc versions - thats a gigantic pain in the ass at cross compiling, we did this before and it worked horrible.
Build ffmpeg "nativly" btw crosscompile it and link Tvh against it. That works well and makes no difference at the end.
RE: Transcoding Codec Error Rpi - Added by Martin Walter almost 6 years ago
Cheers, mate. We stopped building ffmpeg statically more than a year ago as well. Gigantic PITA being the reason. :-)
Synology is still supporting ARM5, ARM7, ARM8, powerpc (qoriq), x86 and 64 platforms, partially with massively outdated kernels. I'll look at your link. Maybe some of your configuration carries over. Thanks again!
