tvheadend missing advanced stream profiles

jan.kowalski · October 1, 2017 at 5:46 PM

Hi,

Anybody knows why on my tvheadend with LibreELEC I see just simple window with profile settings?

I found in google many pictures with advanced profile settings:

I need this advanced profiles to make transcoding for http streaming

Have you set Configuration -> Server -> User Interface Level to "Advanced" or "Expert"

do you use an Intel/AMD HTPC ?

Thanks CvH for answer, I thought about your person to be excellent pro for this problem

So, first of all I'm using Raspberry Pi 2 with LE 8.1.2. I installed your mod of tvheadend GPU transcoding from this German forum:

LibreELEC Tvheadend mit GPU Transcoding - Tvheadend - Kodinerds.net - Deutschsprachiges Forum zum Kodi Entertainment Center

WORKING very good, but.... I can't see picture when I choose "Watch TV" / select stream profile > webtv-h264-aac-matroshka for example. Do I need to install some additional codecs?

[EDIT]

Maybe installing ffmpegx will help, but how to install this?

the RPi version is not functional at the moment (it simply doesn't work from Tvh side)

you need to make some new "codec profile" then create a new stream profile - but like said currently not working for Rpi

I hope that is just "currently" Would be great making transcoding for RPi and tvheadend.

For example in my case I need transcoding because upload at home is to small (1Mbit) for streaming to internet. After trancoding video stream will be much smaller.

from hw/driver side it should work but currently some bug prevents it at Tvh side

Where can I track working progress for tvheadend implementation for transconding?

for RPi Feature #4572: OMX Support - Tvheadend

for general watch Commits · tvheadend/tvheadend · GitHub

x86 is basically working besides bugs with deinterlacing

Thanks! And I suppose that fixed version will appear here?

yes as soon there is something

Looks that is necessary little step forward to bug fix on tvheadend RPi2. I have this codecs gray:

Also if I create new codec profile with "h264_omx", puzzle icon is green but after changing resolution or thick deinterlace, in "watch tv" I see just blank screen.

yes you need to add a completely new profile (a bit bugged like said)

I see just blank scree

this is the current state at RPi, you have to wait for an fix from Tvh side

Anybody know how to enable the codec profile?

First I am using Intel HTPC with LE8.2 and I installed tvheadend GPU transcoding from this website:

The version is:

is it mean that I need install ffmpegx to solve the problem?

**CvH** · November 5, 2017 at 9:10 AM Official Post

hmm, try to create a new codec profile and a new transcoding profile (you use software encoding btw !)

no, it just grabs at build time ffmpegx to build tvh, nothing you have to do

batman0083 · November 9, 2017 at 2:52 PM

Dear CvH,

I try to create a new codec profile in Configuration->Stream->Codec Profiles.

but I cannot enable the profile again.

I only create mpeg2video profile successfully.

Are there any mistakes?

Thanks

not really

I try to upload a new version soon, maybe this is a bug at Tvh.
