Feature request: Raspberry Pi CM4 hardware transcoding support #965

Closed bcomnes closed 1 year ago

bcomnes commented 1 year ago

Describe The Problem: When I check the "Use hardware-accelerated transcoding when available (Apple Macs, Intel Quick Sync Video-enabled CPUs, Raspberry Pi 4)." setting and restart homebridge, I don't see the "Hardware accelerated decoding and transcoding" message when running on a raspi CM4.

My guess is that:

To Reproduce:

Run this plugin on a CM4 and enable hardware transcoding.

Thanks for the report and the feature request. Technically, not a bug. 😄

I don't have a CM4 so I can't vouch for it. Does hardware transcoding work correctly and completely on the CM4? It looks like it's just a Pi4 without Ethernet, but the same CPU/GPU/RAM mix. If so, will get it added in.

Much appreciated, and thanks for the PR as well. 😄

So the key question:

Thanks!

bcomnes commented 1 year ago

Oops, rolled that local only password in the OP.

hjdhjd commented 1 year ago

Thanks for that - can you also enable the feature option to force transcoding of live streams - it should be right above the one for enabling hardware acceleration. Restart, then start a live stream from the Home app on a few of your cameras and paste those log snippets please.

Deleted the last comment because it had a code in it. Here it is again:

I turned it on hardware transcoding and restarted and this is the output:

Thanks! How does the video look when you look at the livestreams - I assume the video quality looks pretty decent/good?

bcomnes commented 1 year ago

It's a bit more pixelated when I force transcoding but is acceptable. With this setting it looks great:

 "name": "UniFi Protect",
            "options": [
                "Enable.Video.Transcode.Hardware"
            ],
            "verboseFfmpeg": false,
            "platform": "UniFi Protect"
        },

All expected behavior. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend using an RPi for HBUP with a bunch of cameras, especially if you have a lot of motion events and you’re using HKSV…but you do you. 😄

Appreciate it and thanks for the contribution. I’ll incorporate into the next release of HBUP.

Seems to be working great with this setup. The only issue I've seen is the following log line regardless of config

[04/08/2023, 18:02:36] [UniFi Protect] BEC [UCK-G2-PLUS] Georgia [G3 Flex]: HomeKit Secure Video has recorded a 1:49 minute motion event.
[04/08/2023, 18:03:44] [UniFi Protect] BEC [UCK-G2-PLUS] Otto [G3 Flex]: HomeKit Secure Video event recording ended early: The request timed out.

The events still seem to be captured though.

Thanks for the quality work!

hjdhjd commented 1 year ago

That’s not an issue, that’s expected behavior. 😄 Especially when using low powered CPUs that are going to struggle to meet HKSV latency requirements from time to time.

Moral of the story: don’t expect miracles given what you’re asking the RPi to do in this scenario. Cheers.

Fingers crossed for the rpi5! This will work fine for now.
