How i can enable VAAPI

hacksat hacksat

Hi, I installed tvheadend on my home server, everything works as far as CPU transcoding, now I need to enable the VAAPI function of my internal processor's GPU.

I sent the command
./configure --enable vaapi

but not solve the problem

in website tvheadend can see the profile

could you give me a hand to understand how to enable this feature?
thanks

I also tried to restart tvheadend with the command

sudo service tvheadend restart

but in the profile codec menu there is no vaapi option

Use build script and post build log

the guide I followed it all step by step, but in the end I don't see h264 vaapi in the profiles

hacksat hacksat

in my configuration it says


checking for pkg libpcre2-8 ... ok (detected 10.31)

Saen Acro

vaapi no

A'm not sure what exactly you do, bit 100% not fallowing steps

Are you build DEB installers?
Are you install them?

hacksat hacksat

yes sure i install all on this guide

https://tvheadend.org/d/4492-manual-building-deb-packages-on-clean-ubuntu-or-other-debian-distros

but when sent the command

./configure --enable-vaapi

not enable vvapi

Saen Acro

No you not.

Use script.


#!/bin/bash

BASE=$(dirname "$0")
(
  if [ -d "$BASE/tvheadend" ]; then
    cd "$BASE/tvheadend" 
    git pull
  else
    cd "$BASE" 
    git clone https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend.git tvheadend --depth=1
    cd "$BASE/tvheadend" 
  fi
  time AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA="–-disable-bintray_cache --enable-vaapi --disable-hdhomerun_client --disable-hdhomerun_static " ./Autobuild.sh -j$(nproc) # edit only betwin "quotation marks" 
) | tee "$BASE/build.log"

hacksat hacksat

ok i created the script in / tvheadend and sent the command ./script.sh

when you finish after the compilation, he tells me

vaapi yes

but when i go in menu, About > Toggle details

vaapi no

and i can't create profile vaapi
something wrong yet?

hacksat hacksat

but I would not like that it is not compatible with ubuntu 18 and we are losing only time, or should it also work with ubuntu 18?

Saen Acro

It work but not in your hands.
Do you install generated packages ?
