hwaccel not invoking gpu (intel arc380)
I'm running sabnzbd in unraid 7. I have my intel arc380 passed through (similarly to how I pass it through to my plex docker). I can see the /dev/dri/renderD128 in the sabnzbd docker, and I have elevated permissions just in case that was causing issues.
When I download an h264 file with sma set to transcode to hevc/265 using vaapi, it fails with the following errors:
[AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x153c42280f80] Failed to initialise VAAPI connection: -1 (unknown libva error). Device creation failed: -5. No device available for decoder: device type vaapi needed for codec h264. [vist#0:0/h264 @ 0x153c4160b800] Hardware device setup failed for decoder: I/O error [vost#0:0/libx265 @ 0x153c46d2b7c0] Error initializing a simple filtergraph Error opening output file /data/usenet/complete/tv/Ghosts.US.S04E12.Its.the.End.of.the.World.as.We.Know.It.and.What.Were.We.Talking.About.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264-NTb-Scrambled.2/Ghosts.US.S04E12.Its.the.End.of.the.World.as.We.Know.It.and.What.Were.We.Talking.About.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264-NTb-Scrambled.mkv. Error opening output files: I/O error
my sma.ini for the converter is:
[Converter] ffmpeg = ffmpeg ffprobe = ffprobe threads = 0 hwaccels = vaapi hwaccel-decoders = vaapi hwdevices = /dev/dri/renderD128 hwaccel-output-format = vaapi:vaapi output-directory = output-format = mkv output-extension = mkv temp-extension = minimum-size = 0 ignored-extensions = nfo, ds_store copy-to = move-to = delete-original = True process-same-extensions = True bypass-if-copying-all = False force-convert = True post-process = False wait-post-process = False detailed-progress = False opts-separator = , preopts = -fflags,+genpts postopts = regex-directory-replace = [^\w-_. ] output-directory-space-ratio = 0.0
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
You need to specify the video codec as one of the compatible hw accelerated ones most likely...
Which is not showing at in the posted config...
Edit: I'm also not sure HW acceleration works because I only use SMA to repackage items to MVK format, trim audio tracks (languages), tag and etc... I do not re-encode at all with it...
Fair enough.
So to add the video codec....is this an additional field that I would need to add to the config? Would you happen to know the syntax?
Your SMA.ini file should be a lot longer....
Full config should look similar to this: https://github.com/RandomNinjaAtk/arr-scripts/blob/main/sabnzbd/sma.ini
The specific line, where you need to add the codec used to convert with: https://github.com/RandomNinjaAtk/arr-scripts/blob/22889ee42b0cae67ccbf85f7de184ac40c9ad216/sabnzbd/sma.ini#L46
I would recommend reviewing the source projects documentation: https://github.com/mdhiggins/sickbeard_mp4_automator/wiki/AutoProcess-Settings
I think the codec you want to enter can be found here: https://github.com/mdhiggins/sickbeard_mp4_automator/blob/3fbf63fb603ad093e50ab583e5d35a1feda4bb44/converter/avcodecs.py#L1199
Yea...I have all that. I was just showing the primary converter section since I thought that would be most relevant.
I'll keep playing with it.
Your probably best off, using the CLI and doing some manual testing with SMA and your config, that way you can fast iterate....
