Error running python script about mr-otcs HOT 11 CLOSED

This is an error with the encoding process. Ensure that your gpu_mem is set to 128 or greater.

from mr-otcs.

Thanks. I have set this in /boot/config.txt to 256, and rebooted. Same error message is appearing.

I’ve just noticed there’s nothing inside the opt directory. So somethings gone wrong somewhere.

The ffmpeg-hls-pts-discontinuity-reclock compiling process likely failed. What compile flags were set when it was compiled?

If the entirety of /opt/vc is missing, it may be possible to restore the needed files by installing libraspberrypi-bin with apt.

Additionally, --enable-librtmp will need to be changed to --disable-librtmp as librtmp itself will not work with this project.

from mr-otcs.

Still nothing there after an reinstalling libraspberrypi-bin, so I don’t know if it’s putting it somewhere else.

I think I’m going to scrap this and start from scratch again. I have Raspbian Bullseye on this now, the 64 bit version, would it be better to just get a copy of the lite version? Thanks!

from mr-otcs.

The instance running OTCS is based on Raspbian OS Lite Buster 32-bit. The only adjustment made prior to installation was to set gpu_mem to 256. Searching for similar errors to this issue returned reports of other users needing to reinstall the Raspberry Pi firmware package, so I believed it would have corrected it here. I have not tested other versions of Raspbian OS, but I believe there should be no issues with a clean installation of any recent version. Good luck.

from mr-otcs.

The /opt/vc directory has been restored after running rpi-update.

This broadcom.video_encode, if im getting an error with this, does it point towards there being a problem during compile time for ffmpeg? Thanks.

from mr-otcs.

If you're still getting errors about extradata, it could be an issue with the video you're trying to transcode. What is the nature of the source video?

from mr-otcs.

The video I'm testing with is a mkv file. I'll find some other formats and see if they're the same.
Edit - for mp4 it says this

different code

from mr-otcs.

This is due to the use of the h264_omx codec in Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye. To resolve this, the codec must be changed to h264_v4l2m2m. However, in version 1.x, this requires the script to be edited to use a newer version of ffmpeg alongside the RTMP encoder, which is the default configuration in version 2.0.
