Hardware encoding on Ubuntu Server

Recommended Posts

So asuning this info we can use :

filter part:

"format=nv12|vaapi,hwupload,scale_vaapi=w=1280:h=720" to resize livestream

 

and line of encapsulating became :

-fflags +genpts -fpsprobesize 200 -hwaccel vaapi -hwaccel_output_format vaapi -vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -i "input_live_stream" -vf "$filtro" -c:v h264_vaapi -qp 25 -c:a aac -f flv..."output_rtmp_local_media"

 

on this way can obtain a best quality but compression above  25% less

-quality -in my case can be 0  (default) -i suppose al core

ad asuming max values as 2 ..i supose acting on the same way as value"0"

'

so the best way untill now is : "-i {INPUT} -c:v h264_vaapi -qp 25 -c:a aac -f {OUTPUT}.."

 

 

maybe need some adjustments here ?

Yes. You get better quality when using -qp instead of bitrate, but your video bitrate will depend on many things like frame size and frame rate etc... In streaming media one usually want's to know (and control) the resulting bitrate.

There is not currently much to do. Vaapi sucks on low bitrates.

 

 

Good news: Quality improvements are coming eventually at least for Intel SKL+ and APL+. See this https://github.com/01org/intel-vaapi-driver/pull/33.

 

Bad news 1: It will take very long time until these end up in any supported distributions.

Bad news 2: On some platforms (but mostly limited to h.265) HuC firmware is required, which most likely also requires a new kernel.

Input stream have 25 fps so output need to be the same, here is nothing to modiffy in my case.

For me, as i use a dual core proc, really i neeed to run most of process in GPU, like resize ,forrmat of colour.

The problem is to reduce distorction on immage when movements becoms accelerated.

Other i run 4 process with classic libx264 process.

BTW cuda solve a lot of things with npp filter and cuda_upload / download

on intel this do not work with vavapi i suppose !

FWIW, I've made some progress.

 

Vaapi relies on your graphics drivers in mesa supporting encode and decode profiles. Radeon support for encode was only added in Mesa 13, and Ubuntu 16.x is on Mesa 12. There's a PPA containing Mesa 13 here. Upgraded to that, and I have encode profiles now!

 

But it still doesn't work from Emby. The error I get is:

    Stream #0:0: Video: mpeg4 (Advanced Simple Profile) (XVID / 0x44495658)

Vaapi doesn't like XVID videos very much and the implementation is buggy. Have you tried with basic h264 MKV?

 

Additionally: If you are experimenting you could try (not taking any responsibility) the Padoka PPA. It includes even newer mesa, libva and libdrm which are all part of the equation. You can find it at:

I did see the paoka PPA, but the fact it was built from nightlies put me off. That said, I don't rely on xorg or anything graphical on the box, so I could give it a whirl. I'll ponder that!

In my case if i select a 480p wide and preserv other simple params i get good resuts.

i update to the last ppa verison of jonathonf.

i want to try this yu'll find Dave, but outside of emby.

 

 

PS:

i test it, but no succes with params do not work! even outside emby

I'm also still confused about vaapi with my rx460. Can you explain how to achieve this far? I always get "[scale_vaapi @ 0x234c860] Hardware does not support output format nv12." error when trying vaapi on radeon. WIth onboard Intel GPU it was working well.

I already on this step. Did you try -bf 0 yet? As some users report that Polaris does not support b-frames.

Forgive my ignorance, but two questions:

 

1. Is this setup for encoding (i.e. recording my scheduled programs)? My CPU is under heavy load, and I cannot record more than 1 stream but would like to. 

2. Does this work on the Docker installation? or should I be running this on the native Ubuntu 16.04 server install that is the current docker host? 

 

I've ran a few of the commands I've found throughout this discussion (both inside my container and out) and it appears that ffmpeg may not be configured for vaapi in Docker, but perhaps due to the nature of running inside the container? 

 

Many thanks.

hi @@bigd271, this does not apply to recordings although we may add this in the future. Yes it will work with Docker. Let us know if this helps. Thanks !

Has anybody got this working with an AMD Radeon APU? I've got an A8-7600 which has a Radeon R7 core (Kaveri). All I've read says that AMD VCE v2 is built into it, so it should be capable.

 

I'm on Ubuntu server 16.10 x64. I've installed mesa and the drivers. I've got an environment variable of LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME="radeonsi" so it can find the correct driver.

 

If I run vainfo:

 

.....

 

I've tried it with X running, and without and I get the same error, and I don't think you even need X running for it to workanyway. At least, I hope not as the box runs headless anyway.

 

Anybody have any experience with this, as it's driving me nutty?!

 

You have a Intel CPU and a AMD GPU? Then your Intel ist 129 ;)

--> /dev/dri/renderD129 , not 128

 

 

 

I have a problem with hevc. h264 works fine. If I encode a video in hevc_vaapi, then the video is stuttering. Looks like 2 frames in front, 1 frame back, 2 frames in front, 1 frame back 

Have any1 the same problem? I have test it with Ubuntu 16.04 and 16.10, wirth Celeron (Skylake and Kaby) and i5 (Skylake). Result is the same :/

Emby fails for me but if I use:

ffmpeg -vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -i input.mkv -vf 'format=nv12,hwupload' -c:v h264_vaapi -bf 0 output.mkv

The encode will start. Without `-bf 0` it fails due to not supporting B frames.

Where's the log of the failure?

 

This is all that was printed in the log but I ran the command manually also

/opt/emby-server/bin/ffmpeg -hwaccel vaapi -hwaccel_output_format vaapi -vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -i file:"input.mkv" -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map -0:s -codec:v:0 h264_vaapi -force_key_frames "expr:gte(t,n_forced*5)" -vf "format=nv12|vaapi,hwupload,scale_vaapi=w=720:h=300" -b:v 1116000 -maxrate 1116000 -bufsize 2232000 -level 41 -vsync -1 -map_metadata -1 -map_chapters -1 -threads 8 -codec:a:0 aac -strict experimental -ac 2 -ab 384000 -ar 44100 -af "volume=2" -y "output.mkv"

I think this might be related to the input video because we're obviously not seeing this failure across the board.

Is there a more appropriate method for AMD GPU's?

This was the file info:

Format                                   : HEVC

Other files have the same issue though.

 

 

 

Is there a more appropriate method for AMD GPU's?

 

Are all the other files also HEVC? Have you tried with H264 input? I've seen successful AMD examples where the -bf0 was not required.

 

Anyway: AMD is actually trying to improve encoding right now. Quote from the mesa-devel this month:

"So, does this mean we could actually implement VAAPI encode properly with packed headers now rather than hard-coding all of this in the driver?"

"At least that's the intention here."

 

Link to the discussion and the patch set: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2017-November/176176.html

 

But it should work without specifying -bf0. The driver should report the capabilities and ffmpeg should not try to implement the b-frames (rather than crash).

 

BTW. Did you notice that in your command line example you used a different ffmpeg version than what was in the emby log?

It works like charm if you follow intel media studio instructions to the letter. Mostly people just miss the part where the (short) list of supported (= the only ones that will work)  CPUs is.

With Intel media studio 2017 you need to have (excluding the respective Xeon models):

5th Generation (Broadwell) Core i3, i5 or i7
or
6th Generation (Skylake) Core i3, i5 or i7
 
Older CPU (like Haswell) -> no quicksync on linux 
New or old Pentium/Celeron/Atom/etc. -> no quicksync on linux
 
BR,
Andy777

 

 

 

This might not be 100% correct, I have HW encoding with a G4600 under Debian 9. But using VAAPI, not QVC.

 

But something is correct, there is no Media Studio support for E3 v6.
