[Solved]Ubuntu 20.04 vaapi Transcoding "unsupported codec: hevc_vaapi"

Added by A T over 4 years ago

The solution for Debian at least was to install i965-va-driver-shaders from non-free.

Hey,

i upgraded to ubuntu 20.04 and transcoding stopped working. I tried a fresh install and also latest debian image.

I followed : https://tvheadend.org/boards/4/topics/24116
My hardware is a J4205 from asrock, should be apollo lake with igpu

Any ideas? Maybe its just something easy?

----------------------------------------
I will copy all the output i got here:

TVH use buildin ffmpeg not external, except when user not setup PIPE scenario.

RE: [Solved]Ubuntu 20.04 vaapi Transcoding "unsupported codec: hevc_vaapi" - Added by A T over 4 years ago

Hey,

thank you for your input.

After my upgrade to 20.04 transcoding did not work. A clean install also did not work and latest Debian also.

I tried to manually transcode a file with ffmpeg and got an error code that helped.

For Debian i had to install i965-va-driver-shaders after activation nonfree sources.
I guess ubuntu 20.04 will be the same.

Maybe a mod could add it to the tutorial?

Just an addition... since I spent quite a lot of time trouble-shooting the very same issue. ;-)
Along with installation of i965-va-driver-shaders you need to ensure to remove intel-media-va-driver.
