VAAPI transcoder setting

[VCR58]

Greetings,

From reading several posts I concluded that using the VAAPI transcoder setting was possible when watching live TV using the web browser but I have not been able to get it working. It looks like it is going to work but ultimately it fails.

CPU setting works OK, just wanted to see if the VAAPI setting wil work for me.

Thanks,
Rex

Here is your error

2021-07-10 15:48:08.745 [DEBUG][20] [FFMPEG]: [Parsed_scale_vaapi_2 @ 0x562ed301afc0] Failed to create processing pipeline config: 12 (the requested VAProfile is not supported).

I don't normally like helping with ffmpeg related configurations because it is basically custom but I can give you some starting points. First look at what vainfo shows for the various available profiles. If nothing is there you may need non free video drivers.

Note that I have same version of ffmpeg on Debian as you and VAAPI works and here is my vainfo output.

Code:

Thanks Martin.

This is what I get. 

Code:

libva info: VA-API version 1.10.0 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_9 libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0 vainfo: VA-API version: 1.10 (libva 2.10.0) vainfo: Driver version: Intel iHD driver for Intel(R) Gen Graphics - 21.1.0 () vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints       VAProfileMPEG2Simple            : VAEntrypointVLD       VAProfileMPEG2Main              : VAEntrypointVLD       VAProfileH264Main               : VAEntrypointVLD       VAProfileH264Main               : VAEntrypointEncSliceLP       VAProfileH264High               : VAEntrypointVLD       VAProfileH264High               : VAEntrypointEncSliceLP       VAProfileJPEGBaseline           : VAEntrypointVLD       VAProfileJPEGBaseline           : VAEntrypointEncPicture       VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointVLD       VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointEncSliceLP       VAProfileVP8Version0_3          : VAEntrypointVLD       VAProfileHEVCMain               : VAEntrypointVLD       VAProfileHEVCMain10             : VAEntrypointVLD       VAProfileVP9Profile0            : VAEntrypointVLD       VAProfileVP9Profile2            : VAEntrypointVLD

Looks like my Driver version is different. I'll do some web searching and see if I can figure out what I need.

I would continue with intel-media-va-driver-non-free from apt or maybe read https://github.com/intel/media-driver/ first

Got it working. I installed "Package: intel-media-va-driver-non-free Version: 21.1.0+ds1-1~mx19ahs+1" for my Linux Distro.

Thanks  for your help!
