[BUG] Stop playing some formats that played before patching about videostation-ffmpeg-patcher HOT 26 CLOSED

@AlexPresso the following should provide the list of decoders available, which in turn depends of the platform and ffmpeg version in usage:

And to get more details on a specific decoder:

$ /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg6 -hide_banner -h decoder=mpeg4
Decoder mpeg4 [MPEG-4 part 2]:
    General capabilities: horizband dr1 delay threads 
    Threading capabilities: frame
    Supported hardware devices: vaapi 
    Supported pixel formats: vaapi yuv420p
MPEG4 Video Decoder AVOptions:

Considering DS220+ is a geminilake (x64) pretty much everything should be enabled including vaapi acceleration.

EDIT: in order to use vainfo you must use sudo access or a user account that has group videodriver permissions:

So issue may well be that the @dmoskovchenko may be using an account which isn't part of the videodriver group

from videostation-ffmpeg-patcher.

Hello, I have tried new solution and at once everything works fine for me now.
Great job.
I will stay on your solution, it is nice to be intouch with developer in resolving an issue.
I wat to thank you one more time for your work .

from videostation-ffmpeg-patcher.

Hello,

I'll have a look at it as soon as I can

from videostation-ffmpeg-patcher.

Hello @dmoskovchenko

I made a fix attempt in the linked PR, could you try to use the following procedure to test it please:

• uninstall the patch : curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AlexPresso/VideoStation-FFMPEG-Patcher/fix_scale_vaapi/patcher.sh | bash -s -- -a unpatch
• install the new patch curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AlexPresso/VideoStation-FFMPEG-Patcher/fix_scale_vaapi/patcher.sh | bash -s -- -a patch -b fix_scale_vaapi

If you still have an issue please run the issue-report tool and post the result here again

from videostation-ffmpeg-patcher.

After patching on this link(branch) the video picture is strange:

and if I do unpatch video picture format became normal but without eac3(( :

this part is fixed, but in general the videos that plays in unpatched mode still has problem with playing after patching

Here is log: https://gist.github.com/dmoskovchenko/ce76407af830f24ef1257a18c123f64a

from videostation-ffmpeg-patcher.

Thank you for the feedback
I tried to re-add the vaapi to the filter chain, could you please unpatch/repatch using the same commands and give it a try

Could you also give me the ouput of the following command:

• vainfo
• (only in case the first one didn't work) /bin/vainfo

from videostation-ffmpeg-patcher.

Tried to repatch - nothig changed :(
Here is vainfo: https://gist.github.com/dmoskovchenko/4d87abe48fa9fa470ac94618b0069366

from videostation-ffmpeg-patcher.

Do you have any output if running /var/packages/VideoStation/target/bin/vainfo ?
Unfortunately, I can't test it by myself because my NAS is not having an Intel CPU and so doesn't have VAAPI

from videostation-ffmpeg-patcher.

Thank you for the feedback @th0ma7 :)

And thank to you @dmoskovchenko for your will to help and for giving informations from the commands, it's highly appreciated 👌.
But the one you used are for ffmpeg6 and I see from the issue-report that your patch configuration is using ffmpeg4, could you give me the output of the following commands for ffmpeg4 please (needs sudo):

• /var/packages/ffmpeg/target/bin/ffmpeg4 -hide_banner -decoders | grep -i mpeg
• sudo su -s /bin/bash sc-ffmpeg -c '/var/packages/ffmpeg/target/bin/vainfo'
• and also this one to see what are the capabilities of VideoStation's default ffmpeg: /var/packages/VideoStation/target/bin/ffmpeg.orig -hide_banner -decoders | grep -i mpeg

To give some explainations about my thoughts:
The reason why it's working with the other wrapper you're using, is because the other wrapper is in first case, trying to run the transcoding with the default VideoStation's ffmpeg. My wrapper is only using the SynoCommunity's ffmpeg. I decided to do it this way because the SC ffmpeg is having way more capabilities and is containing latest ffmpeg optimizations.

Hello @dmoskovchenko

If you have time, I made a new patch to try my theory about the previous comment, if you are okay to try it here are the steps:

• uninstall the other patch (the two patches are incompatible)
• uninstall the patch : curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AlexPresso/VideoStation-FFMPEG-Patcher/multitry_ffmpeg/patcher.sh | bash -s -- -a unpatch
• install the new patch curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AlexPresso/VideoStation-FFMPEG-Patcher/multitry_ffmpeg/patcher.sh | bash -s -- -a patch -b multitry_ffmpeg

If you still have an issue please run the issue-report tool and post the result here again

PS : If you have time, please also send me the output of the other commands ;)

from videostation-ffmpeg-patcher.

Fixed

Seems to be working on the few I tried! If I run into issues I'll come back.

My bad, I inverted the width and height, could you please unpatch and repatch using the same above commands

from videostation-ffmpeg-patcher.

Here is /var/packages/VideoStation/target/bin/vainfo

If it is neccesarry I could make a vpn with acces to my nas to fix an issue

Thank you for the report :)

Hello @th0ma7, I hope you're doing well
By any chance, do you have an idea why the OP is able to play the video with default ffmpeg but not with the SC's ffmpeg ? For me the args looks pretty similar, could it be possible the SC's ffmpeg is missing the MPEG4 Advanced Simple profile ?

Hello, @th0ma7 thx for your answer. Here is New logs: https://gist.github.com/dmoskovchenko/4e5f79795ac0b0da7541e0e7dc1bd0ac with the commands that you provided.

For this time I found another resource with wrapper patcher(as a work around) that helps me to solve the issue , now all formats are played well.

I still want to understand if this problem is only mine and still want to help @AlexPresso to enchance his project :)

from videostation-ffmpeg-patcher.

Thank you very much for testing :)
I'm glad everything working fine, but could you please just give me the output of the commands in the following comment so I can have a deep understanding of what was not working fine in the first try please: #95 (comment)

Getting the same issue with some HEVC files - work fine before patching, don't work at all after.

Hi @Gargaj
Thank you for the report, could you provide me the video file so I can do some tests locally please ?

Any HEVC file will do that has yuv420p10le pixel format:
