[Feature / Update] Jellyfin now supports VAAPI for Raspberry Pi #84

Closed blmhemu closed 2 years ago

blmhemu commented 3 years ago

The guide shows that RPI currently supports v4l2 and OpenMAX. But the newer jellyfin release seems to support VA-API. It requires the user to be added in "render" group. Please have a look at https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration.html and https://www.reddit.com/r/jellyfin/comments/jhwt49/vaapi_hardware_transcoding_working_on_the/ Looks like HEVC decoding is also supported !

Can you try mapping /dev/dri and see if it works? The device ownership logic is already there

blmhemu commented 3 years ago

I tried to list all groups cat /etc/group and was not able to see any group named render. And yes I tried mapping the /dev/dri folder and tried to play 4k hevc file. But it did not even open !

aptalca commented 3 years ago

Don't worry about the groups, the container handles that automatically.

Do this for me on the host: ls -al /dev/dri

Question : Are the VA API driver / libraries installed by default ? Will post the answers soon (My rpi takes a long time to boot)

blmhemu commented 3 years ago

Here are the details: image

aptalca commented 3 years ago

Yup, the container should handle the permissions properly.

The links you posted are very thin on the technical details. They just say it works on ubuntu server but not desktop (no clue why that would be the case), and no mention of any drivers.

blmhemu commented 3 years ago

Yeah the details are thin. But I am assuming for the moment that dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi4 is where it gets the drivers. Also not sure if it has to do anything with the docker BASE IMAGE Because I am guessing ubuntu provides a special iso image for rpi.

There is no VAAPI support on Raspberry Pi. VAAPI is only possible on Intel, AMD and Nvidia. The video core on Broadcom chips can be accessed via OpenMax and V4L2 until now.

Pi developers are trying unify decoder and encoder pipeline by using DRM PRIME. For more details see https://github.com/jc-kynesim/rpi-ffmpeg/tree/dev/4.3.1/drm_prime_1

Closing as this isn't a container issue as confirmed by Nyanmisaka.
