RPI4 Hardware Acceleration Fix #14

Artiume · 2020-01-01T20:50:24Z

If you are new to Docker or this application our issue tracker is ONLY used for reporting bugs or requesting features. Please use our discord server for general support.

Expected Behavior

HWA should work.

Current Behavior

HWA fails to work.

Steps to Reproduce

I wrote this guide for HWA. In order to get HWA working, I had to make a few hacks and would like to pass on what I learned to the lsio team.

version: "3.7"

services:
  jellyfin:
    image: linuxserver/jellyfin
    devices:
      - /dev/vchiq:/dev/vchiq ##HWA Chip
    container_name: jellyfin
    network_mode: host
    environment:
      PUID: 0
      PGID: 0
      TZ: ${TZ}
      UMASK_SET: "022"
    volumes:
      - /data/brick/jellyfin:/config
      - /media:/media
      - /dev/shm:/config/data/transcoding-temp/transcodes
      - /opt/vc/lib:/opt/vc/lib   ## OpenMax Libraries
      - /etc/ld.so.conf.d/00-vmcs.conf:/etc/ld.so.conf.d/00-vmcs.conf ## Path needed for libraries
    restart: always

I also needed to install the library libomxil-bellagio-dev

This installed libomxil-bellagio0, libomxil-bellagio-bin and libomxil-bellagio-dev. I'm not sure which were essential but -dev installed all 3. I also had to run the container as root, but that might have been due to the Path hacks or permissions else where, I'm not sure.

Environment

OS: Raspbian
CPU architecture: x86_64/arm32/arm64 Rpi4
How docker service was installed:

Command used to create docker container (run/create/compose/screenshot)

I am down for embedding some stuff into the aarch64 image to support openmax , what kind of performance difference did you see and what codecs are currently supported ?
Last time I played with it, it was basically audio only and very negligible.

Artiume · 2020-01-03T22:51:20Z

I can encode x264 using HWA. I still have to decode x265 using software (until it can be patched to include it). The HEVC decoder will require a bump in video ram but the x264 encoder seems to work fine with the default 78Mb. I'm not sure what audio accelerations are available.

x265 10bit 4.2 Mbps > x264 8bit 7.8 Mbps. No audio conversion, I hover around 320% to 380% CPU usage but no stuttering, I can seek to a new position in the video in ~5 seconds. If I turn off HWA. Video will stutter every couple seconds and isn't watchable.

Here are the ffmpeg logs, not sure what's up with libx264, the speed is all sorts out of whack lol.

cool stuff.

What is the contents of /dev/vchiq on your system, we should be able to automate the permissions issue if I know what is in there.

Artiume · 2020-01-03T22:56:49Z

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls /dev/vchiq
/dev/vchiq

The file is text based, would you like it posted?

thelamer · 2020-01-03T23:05:05Z

no , just weird that it is a single file like that , we use the following find command with other video devices to pull their information and add the abc user in this container to their group to be able to directly open them.

find /dev/dri /dev/dvb -type c -print

Does this actually print the device when run ?

find /dev/vchiq -type c -print

Artiume · 2020-01-03T23:06:22Z

nope, it returned nothing.

thelamer · 2020-01-03T23:09:33Z

who is it owned by ? ls -l

Artiume · 2020-01-03T23:10:33Z

Can you try this out (change your puid and pgid to what you use local)

version: "3.7"

services:
  jellyfin:
    image: lsiodev/jellyfin:v10.4.3-pkg-5749f6c2-dev-6d4ba8d69ee572a9c934a39852967ce5d844eaae

    restart: always

This should fix you having to run as root and needing to install openmax bins, but I cannot embed the Rpi firmware stuff in the images so that will always be a bind mount.
Let me know, and don't forget to chown stuff back from a root user to test or use alternative locations for testing.

No dice. the package didnt install properly. it couldn't find the latest and had to fallback to .9.3.4.

FFMpeg exited with code 1 ffmpeg failing due to the encoder failing.

So this is where I'm at, I'll look into it tomorrow as to what I'm missing.

Artiume · 2020-01-04T15:15:41Z

So while running as root, adding abc to the video group fixed it. let me start from scratch and see if that's the issue
Edit: I think i was playing an x264 file

thelamer · 2020-01-04T22:35:03Z

try this tag:
lsiodev/jellyfin:v10.4.3-pkg-5749f6c2-dev-635df2acc3ce03024f255cd07e2c6ff2dfcc2653

I was using a file guard for the device ownership logic should have been -e, this should automate the video group add like we do on x86.

Artiume · 2020-01-04T23:11:20Z

so something funky is going on with the permissions. With both patches, I can't get HWA working at all while with the normal linuxserver/jellyfin, installing the 3 packages makes it work. Also, we're missing some permissions for abc. When I run it as abc, ffmpeg will exit with code 255 and won't have accessed the openmax module. Root will exit ffmpeg with code 1 for the accelerator failing.

I gotta check, because what you are saying is not possible those libs are specifcially installed :
https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-jellyfin/blob/arm-hardware/Dockerfile.armhf#L30-L31

$ docker run --rm --entrypoint '/bin/sh' lsiodev/jellyfin:arm32v7-v10.4.3-pkg-5749f6c2-dev-635df2acc3ce03024f255cd07e2c6ff2dfcc2653 -c 'apt list -qq --installed | sed "s#/.*now ##g" | cut -d" " -f1 | grep -i bellagio' 

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

libomxil-bellagio-bin0.9.3-4
libomxil-bellagio00.9.3-4

You are swapping the tag and using the lsiodev endpoint right ?

Artiume · 2020-01-05T12:15:32Z

Yeah, the install log was based on the normal image, I was providing it in case it could provide some info. Any idea why I can't use HWA as root on your dev images?

thelamer · 2020-01-06T17:15:10Z

I have not forgotten about this, but it is very difficult to make something optimal without local hardware to test on.
A couple more commands I guess:

To see the perms and ensure abc is a member of the video group :

cat /etc/groups |grep abc
ls -l /dev/vchiq

You are mounting in a custom ldconf file but unless you run ldconfig at some point in the container those bins will not be registered .

Artiume · 2020-01-07T11:53:21Z

dev image

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo docker exec -it jellyfinpi cat /etc/group |grep abc
users:x:100:abc
abc:x:1000:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo docker exec -it jellyfinpi ls -l /dev/vchiq
crw-rw---- 1 root video 243, 0 Jan  7 06:32 /dev/vchiq

Confirmed that ldconfig was the issue. After running that command, I could use HWA as root.

thelamer · 2020-01-07T17:48:33Z

So the only thing left is to determine how I can test for that vchiq device effectively -f and -e are false, can you run this script on your host? :

#! /bin/bash
DEVICE=/dev/vchiq
for type in -b -c -d -e -f -G -h -g -k -L -O -p -r -S -s -u -w -x; do
  if test ${type} "$DEVICE"; then
    echo "$DEVICE exists using ${type}"
  fi
done

This will let me determine the test operator to use to find the existence of this device and add abc to it's group.
Also we should be able to remove the need to mount /etc/ld.so.conf.d/00-vmcs.conf:/etc/ld.so.conf.d/00-vmcs.conf I can just test for the existence of /opt/vc/lib and load libs from it.

Artiume · 2020-01-10T01:59:55Z

pi@raspberrypi:~/bin $ ./test
/dev/vchiq exists using -c
/dev/vchiq exists using -e
/dev/vchiq exists using -r
/dev/vchiq exists using -w

thelamer · 2020-01-10T02:19:52Z

Thank you sir, will have something to test in the next two hours

thelamer · 2020-01-10T03:40:53Z

@Artiume please destroy/stop your existing container and run just this compose with your PUID and GUID swapped out for what has access to your /media stuff:

version: "3.7"
services:
  jellyfin:
    image: lsiodev/jellyfin:v10.4.3-pkg-5749f6c2-dev-0b4c6d34c0d10a8bb12e967b2a7ea23ee433b4bf

    network_mode: host
    environment:
      PUID: 1000
      PGID: 1000
    volumes:
      - /media:/media
      - /opt/vc/lib:/opt/vc/lib

This is an ephemeral test, and does not mount up anything that is not needed.

Artiume · 2020-01-10T03:55:23Z

success :)

for my own learning, what all did you do? I'm also not quite sure what the test operators were for /dev/vchiq

thelamer · 2020-01-10T03:56:51Z

All the logic is here:
https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-jellyfin/blob/arm-hardware/root/etc/cont-init.d/40-gid-video
We already had stuff to add abc to video just needed the lib loading.

I'll PR this into the main image now that you have confirmed it works.
