Encoder not found moonlight-qt (arch)

Mangled · January 26, 2024, 3:40pm

Hi,
I’m running BredOs, arch based distro on x11. It comes pre-packaged with ffmpeg. When building moonlight-qt, ffmpeg is included as a dependency. Does anyone know why it doesn’t detect an encoder? It runs good under software.

I realised that the ffmpeg packages are incorrect on my device. I had to replace with the packages below:
ffmpeg-mpp from Aur also.
mpp-git from Aur.
ffmpeg4.4-mpp
mesa-panfork-git from Aur.

There appears to be a latency issue. Does anyone know how to correct it?

I have been able to fix latency issue on kodi. For kodi, I have to run Wayland to get DRM to show up as an option in accelerated hardware performance option in kodi settings. Now I’m trying to get moonlight fixed as well. Is there a way to set a different encoder?

On the pi4 there’s an line that can be added to hint a codec and force DRM. Would this work?
H264_DECODER_HINT=h264_v4l2m2m DRM_FORCE_DIRECT=1 moonlight-qt

i never thought of a workflow including moonlight since i dont do gaming at all, but good news is i can easily bring some acceleration to moonlight with ffmpeg, let me work on it may be ill have an update today.

Hi,
This is my log after trying to run with DRM forced on:

i dont think you can force drm on X but not sure, best bet is EGL with x otherwise it should fallback to SDL which is crap, i think to force DRM DE must be stopped, but i debug building this moonlight thing and will attach a debugger to see exactly whats going on.

ok found the bug with moonlight-qt, i just got 4k@60fps rendering, let me push some commits

UPDATE: Done.

You need to change ffmpeg-mpp with ffmpeg-rockchip, this is the successor of it and has lots of improvements inlcuding speed and latency. Here is a PKGBUILD for it.
Moonlight needs to be fixed with this fix. If the PR i sent, is merged to master branch you should be able to use moonlight-qt-git aur package, until then you need to manually patch to make it work.

Improtant note: Moonlight must be rebuilt after the ffmpeg is switched the -rockchip variant, the old -mpp and the new -rockchip ffmpegs have different API versions so the app depending on it need to be rebuilt.

For the new ffmpeg, please refer to the wiki for how to get rendering properly.

PS: I have briefly looked but it seems that moonlight is capabale of drawing over to KMS which is a better rendering path, but i got segfaults. If thats the case there might be further patches needed for direct KMS rendering.

Wow thank you so much! I will try this tonight. On the side, bare with me as im still a newb, when I install pkgbuild for ffmpeg-rockchip, will that be added as a repo on pacman or would I have rebuild every time there’s an update to the ffmpeg-rockchip PKG?

I currently have 7ji repo added. Should I remove it?

Sorry how did you manually apply the fix to moonlight? Can you provide a pkgbuild?

boogiepop · February 5, 2024, 4:15am

if you use agr then you should get it with

agr install moonlight-qt-git

In another post you mentioned the patch had merged with the AUR PKG moonlight-qt-git and it has been removed from AGR. However I noticed on the AUR repository website, it appears the package hasn’t been updated since November last year. Would it still install the new patch or would there be a specific way of doing it?

boogiepop · February 6, 2024, 5:29pm

it is a vcs or git package, its version is dynamically calculated, maintainers only update the repo version when they want users to update, but when you install explicitly it is updated to latest version

yay -S moonlight-qt-git

make sure you do a clean build
