Description

Don't know exactly what the problem could be... but better to describe and experts will tell.

Since advanced encode options of nvenc are yet to be implemented on tvheadend i been using or spawn profile in tvheadend or transcoding 100% outside tvheadend.

So if i run ffmpeg outside tvheadend and with more than 7-10 streams playing simultaneous pulling from tvheadend after a few seconds i start getting this messages on tvheadend:

2018-02-10 23:15:18.108 tbl-pass: pass-eit: -: invalid checksum (len 3825, errors 2)

2018-02-10 23:16:06.976 tbl-pass: pass-eit: -: invalid checksum (len 543, errors 2)

note that i don't have any problem on source (satipaxe with 0 cc errors).

as soon as this messages begin on tvheadend the ffmpeg output become a mess full of macroblocks and freezing.

This is all being done in same machine and cpu doesn't even pass the 30%.

I tried exactly the same amount of streams with spawn profile and no problems with output... however tvheadend with this amount of streams begin to be unresponsive.

So in my last try i tried the same amount of streams but split between outside command line and spawn... same problem... this is the output of spawn:

this is exactly the same errors i also see in ffmpeg running outside.

A small apart: when i use tvheadend stream as source of ffmpeg between the play command and to start seing image it takes around 5-8secs. This is probably related with this messages:

I don't think it's a duplicate... part of the problem could be the eit... I guess the problem is much more wide here. Note that using spawn I don't have any issues.

#3

It seems that there is a problem with resources. You should try to run this number of ffmpeg instances without tvheadend (or use tvh only as mpegts source - http streaming), if your machine is capable to transcode such amount of streams.

#4

Updated by Ricardo Rocha almost 7 years ago

That's exactly what I did... running this number of streams using only tvheadend as source for ffmpeg makes tvheadend start with that eit and sdt errors. Resources are not a problem like I said I am using nvenc for encode and decode. When problems start I have just 15-35 cpu usage and about 20% of RAM.

Do you get same error with wget or curl on tvh's streams?

#6

Updated by Ricardo Rocha almost 7 years ago

using parallel to wget the streams (8) i didn't saw any errors!

anyway to pull more than 8 simultaneous?

#7

Updated by Ricardo Rocha almost 7 years ago

20 and running not even 1 problem with eit or sdt... now will try the same amount with ffmpeg pulling http stream from tvheadend!

#8

Updated by Ricardo Rocha almost 7 years ago

so last update... i even run 50 wget's without any issues...

however with ffmpeg it's a completely different story...

i tested with only 6 and it's a complete mess... problems begin with eit/sdt and streams get corrupted!!!

top -H -pid of tvheadend doesn't show nothing special.

You may try to increase queue size (add ?qsize=10000000 to the end of URL), but it appears that multiple ffmpeg does not consume the streams from tvheadend in time. It is not a tvh bug.

Also look to the GPU usage.

and that's supposed to affect the tvheadend? if the ffmpeg is not consuming all the data available, it should only affect the ffmpeg instances... but in this case it's affecting also the already running streams on tvheadend (with those eit/sdt). And if i have allready some streams using spawn profile of tvheadend and they are playing just fine if i start the ffmpeg outside they are also affected.

About the gpu i don't think thats related with it... i am using exactly same line on spawn profile and outside command... i was tried 30 spawn without any errors. It just happen if i use it from bash!

no sucess with ?qsize=10000000

If there's a queue overflow, you'll get those log lines from the passthrough muxer, because some MPEG-TS data are dropped to maintain the maximal queue size, thus the SI tables delivered to the muxer are not complete.

And if i have allready some streams using spawn profile of tvheadend and they are playing just fine if i start the ffmpeg outside they are also affected.

No idea. You should investigate the problematic scheduling.

Did you really check it? There are tools to watch the GPU usage. Last time when I tried vaapi with Intel, the GPU decoding/encoding limit is somewhere around 5 streams. Nvidia might be faster, but I won't expect that the number of concurrent streams which may be processed the realtime will dramatically differ.

#14

Updated by Ricardo Rocha almost 7 years ago

Yes of course I did... using hw acceleration and advanced encode features put the limit of transcode on memory of graphic card not in cpu... and with the hardware I am using I can do more than 20 simultaneous without any problem.

#15

Updated by Mark Clarkstone almost 7 years ago

I had a think about what the problem could be & the only difference I can think of between tvh & ffmpeg directly is cuda.

As for the max number of streams it's hard to tell, I know you have a 1060 doing the transcoding, but this matrix goes by chip / board.

perhaps a fifo between tvh and ffmpeg might help?

Intel 4600 5 HD streams + 7 SD gpu load 60-75%

Realtime? There's difference between batch and realtime processing. You should ensure that all 20 instances require less time for the processing than the streams length and that all streams are really processed continuously and in parallel.

There is already buffer for the http output (qsize as I mentioned this in comment 9). If this buffer overflows, the data are dropped. The whole problem is that ffmpeg instances (one or more) eat data slowly than received, so tvh drops them. Dot. Wget works, so the issue does not appear to be in tvh.

No I am really confused...

Lets make it more clear...

If I set a spawn profile with exactly same command line i put on bash and make a third party program pull 20 http streams from tvheadend simultaneously it runs fine. No issues neither on ffmpeg or tvheadend.

If i pull the http streams from tvheadend without the transcode and make the transcode on bash with tvheadend and xargs to run it simultaneously the problem appears.

So what's the difference between the 2 uses?

You may show us the real script you're using. It seems that it's not parallel as you think.

My client doesn't log private chats :/. So I don't have it. I'll have to load the module for next time. Sorry!

No problem.... I will put it here as soon as i arrive home. And also some pictures.

There's small thinko - you have 7 channels in the list, but only 6 (-P 6) are used. But this is not a real problem.

Could you try to monitor the network traffic (loopback) ? 'iftop -i lo' - perhaps, there might be visible the lag for some streams, also strace for the ffmpeg task might be a good tool to see the bottleneck
