feature request: HA addon: include ffmpeg binary from container's debian release #875

Open gtxaspec opened 1 year ago

gtxaspec commented 1 year ago

including ffmpeg binary from container's debian release supports more encoders, as well as hardware acceleration (even though its older)

ffmpeg -encoders | grep h264
 V..... libx264              libx264 H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10 (codec h264)
 V..... libx264rgb           libx264 H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10 RGB (codec h264)
 V..... h264_omx             OpenMAX IL H.264 video encoder (codec h264)
 V..... h264_qsv             H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10 (Intel Quick Sync Video acceleration) (codec h264)
 V..... h264_v4l2m2m         V4L2 mem2mem H.264 encoder wrapper (codec h264)
 V..... h264_vaapi           H.264/AVC (VAAPI) (codec h264)

HA addon: add option to specify path to ffmpeg binary, possibly even specifying path to custom ffmpeg version? (ala frigate)

IIRC, we're using the static builds to reduce the image size, but we could look into alternate ffmpeg binaries.

I would love to use qsv on my (off brand) nuc to reduce CPU usage.

Unless you're doing rotation or forcing the footage to be re-encoded, you probably won't see much improvements in performance. This is because the bridge utilizes the "-v:c copy" command for the h264 video, which essentially copies the video stream without any decoding/encoding.

btw, the ffmpeg in hw build mrlt8/wyze-bridge:latest-hw should support qsv, though you will have to manually specify the command and map /dev/dri:/dev/dri.

I am doing forced re-encoding as frigate was crashing without it. Not sure where the issue actually is but it worked as a solution.
