ersatztv - Add HW transcoding to script

[Go2Engle]

The way the helper script passes through the HW transcoding for the jellyfin script works amazing. Could you add that to the ersatztv script?

[MickLesk]

Need to check by tteck, but i think its done ;)

#3750

[Go2Engle]

woo awesome! if it gets merged ill test it out!

[Go2Engle]

@MickLesk I seen your PR was closed. I just wanted to let you know in your sed I seen you were trying to add user ersatztv. ersatztv seems to run as root and does not have its own user like jellyfin does.

[Go2Engle]

@MickLesk If you plan on opening another PR I ran through manually and you can just skip the sed portion of the script. Transcoding is working with just the below.

msg_info "Setting Up Hardware Acceleration"
$STD apt-get -y install {va-driver-all,ocl-icd-libopencl1,intel-opencl-icd,vainfo,intel-gpu-tools}
if [[ "$CTTYPE" == "0" ]]; then
  chgrp video /dev/dri
  chmod 755 /dev/dri
  chmod 660 /dev/dri/*
  $STD adduser $(id -u -n) video
  $STD adduser $(id -u -n) render
fi
msg_ok "Set Up Hardware Acceleration"

@MickLesk Woops i spoke too soon! one other thing I needed to do to get some of my media to play.

I had to modify /etc/apt/sources.list from:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib

deb http://security.debian.org bookworm-security main contrib

too:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org bookworm-security main contrib non-free

Then I installed intel-media-va-driver-non-free via

apt-get install -y intel-media-va-driver-non-free

Now everything seems to be transcoding!

[Go2Engle]

here is the output of intel_gpu_top while playing a channel in ErsatzTV

[tteck]

Aww, you manually passed the device.

[Go2Engle]

Yeah I just mimicked what the jellyfin script does just manually.

[Go2Engle]

I had seen that @MickLesk already took care of the build.func changes
MickLesk/Proxmox@817ab5d

[Go2Engle]

@MickLesk opened a PR on your fork https://github.com/MickLesk/Proxmox/pull/2 that should be the only changes needed for you to reopen your PR.

[tteck]

Hardware Acceleration has been added.

[tteck]

If Jellyfin works for you, you shouldn't need non-free.

[Go2Engle]

it is strange the same media transcoding in jellyfin does work fine. but It was not working in ErsatzTV. The Channel when loaded had errors saying it could not transcode. I dont have screenshot of the error. As soon as I installed the non-free the media was then able to be transcoded with no issues.

[Go2Engle]

gonna spin up a new instance with your changes and see if i can reproduce.

[Go2Engle]

Yep here is the error with the fresh instance.

[Go2Engle]

and after running the below it now works. Pixelated screenshot below xD
