offline transcoding fails (unknown encoder aac) #36
Comments
|
Hi Fabian, Yes, that missing AAC Encoder may be fixed by the new wrapper implementation I'm working on (#33 ) |
|
hi alex, all right, then i'll wait for your new wrapper :-) by the way, is there a possibility to give you a small "coffee" donation? greetings from austria |
|
Hi Fabian, Yes, the new wrapper will need to be battle-tested, thank you very much for offering to test it :). Greetings from Switzerland ;) |
|
Hi Fabian, I hope you are doing well, if you're still up to do some tests of the new ffmpeg wrapper (still working on the gstreamer wrapper to handle HEVC), here are the commands you can use to test it:
Greetings |
|
hello alex, i'm fine :-) i have run the new script on my 920+ and can report the following : if it helps you i can set up a vmm on my 1520+. think you can do more there than my few statements ^^ greetings |
|
Yes, I'm doing good, thanks :) Yes you are right, the HEVC + (dts or eac3 or truehd) is (for now) the only case for which it doesn't work at all, I need to make a wrapper for GStreamer (used by Advanced Media Extensions) to make it work Is the offline transcoding made on an HEVC + (dts or eac3 or truehd) video ? |
|
yes almost all my videos are hevc h264 with eac3 does not work either |
While doing offline transcoding or while trying to play the video using web player ? |
|
in both situations |
|
Hm... it's a strange behavior, could you please provide me the latest logs in /tmp/ffmpeg.log please |

Do you have an |

for you always ;) ffmpeg version 4.4.2 Copyright (c) 2000-2021 the FFmpeg developers |

Okay, got it, I need to fix the wrapper, it seems like it's unable to handle file names containing spaces for now, I'll send a comment once it'll be fixed :) Thanks you very much for testing it if you want, you can go back to the previous wrapper by doing the following:
|
|
all right, no problem. |
|
Hi Fabian, the issue should be resolved if you want to give it a try with the new wrapper (HEVC videos are still not working) |
|
Hello alex, New error.... [2022-06-01 17:59:26] [INFO] ========================================[start ffmpeg 8986] [2022-06-01 18:05:18] [INFO] ========================================[start ffmpeg 29996] |
|
I didn't have the issue on my NAS, but I updated the new_wrapper to add more debug informations, could you please unpatch and repatch it :) |
|
Please wait a sec, its working XD |
|
ooh nice, you mean it worked even with the error ? :) |
|
Playback works fine whether hevc or x264 and both even with eac3. Now it just converts a movie |

|
Thank you very much for the tests Okay, I know why it threw an error, it's just because it wasn't able to print the movie name, I'll fix it :) I'm glad everything works fine for you, I guess my assumptions on the EAC3 not working with HEVC were wrong, maybe it's only for DTS and TrueHD, I'll do more tests on that part when I'll continue to implement a GStreamer package |
|
I will apply the patch to my productive system and try more combinations there ;) |
|
Good morning Alex, ffmpeg version 4.4.2-44 Copyright (c) 2000-2021 the FFmpeg developers |
|
Hevc with truehd also ffmpeg version 4.4.2-44 Copyright (c) 2000-2021 the FFmpeg developers |
|
So I think we can close the issue |
|
Thanks for the feedback :) And it seems like in your case, VideoStation never uses GStreamer, so it means you can play any format without any limitation |
|
Hi Fabian, |
|
Sure :) total 1044 |
|
oooooh interesting ! looks like you don't even have gstreamer in Advanced Media Extensions, I need to adapt the patch script |
|
Hi Alex root@night:/var/packages/CodecPack/target/pack/bin# ls -al /var/packages/CodecPack/target/pack/bin |
|
Hi, it's fixed in the new wrapper, read the entire issue if you want to fix it before the pull request is merged |
|
Thank you very much Alex all code working only EAC3 and HEVC not working im running a dsm 7.1-42661 ds 920+ (RedPill Loader) will need to activate Advanced Media Extensions valid SN / MAC and Synology account |
|
You're welcome :) Yes, but even with Advanced Media Extensions, you may experience issues, we're working on a gstreamer patch in #33 |
hello alex,
i have a ds1520+ and when i use your new patch i get the error "the operation could not be performed. possibly the network connection is unstable..." when transcoding offline.
i have the same error with a ds720+ as well
but strangely enough the playback works fine.
videostation and ame were already reinstalled, but there was no change.
all packages are up to date and dsm too.
here the ffmpeg.log
https://gist.github.com/Fabian1601/ceda916cf53711f9a351fc9f1fe46bf4
according to the log it does not know the aac encoder.
greetings
