No "Codec Profiles" to transcode on RPi3B Bullseye

I'm running Raspbian bullseye armv7l on a Raspberry Pi 3 B, and tvheadend 4.3-1994~gc7b713edb.

I don't see any "Codec Profiles" tab under Configuration -> Stream. Logged in as admin created during install.

In the "Streaming Profiles" tab, the only ones there are ones which don't transcode, and I can't add a transcoding profile.

Is it normal on an RPi3, or could I be missing a package somewhere?

RE: No "Codec Profiles" to transcode on RPi3B Bullseye - Added by Jay O over 2 years ago

Thanks. Posted below. I see here it's not been compiled with ffmpeg or libav. I guess I either need to compile myself for Rpi3 bullseye, or find another build?

From apt, this package is tvheadend/raspbian-stretch,now 4.3-1994~gc7b713edb~raspbianstretch armhf [installed]

--disable-ffmpeg_static
  libav                                    no
  ffmpeg_static                            no

That's why.

Thanks, I've rebuilt now with those enabled, and I see the codecs tab.

RE: No "Codec Profiles" to transcode on RPi3B Bullseye - Added by saen acro over 2 years ago

To see real performance of codecs make this enabled

Thank you.

Is there any possibility to use h264_v4l2m2m encoder from ffmpeg, or only OMX ?
(No vaapi on raspberry pi)

OMX is deprecated on Raspberry Pi: https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/1366#issuecomment-1034726587
