transcode tvh pass stream

[goerdi]

Hi !

During my Test with transcode i found out that if i force live tv transcode
it worked e.g. when input codec was vp8 but when i set tvheadend to "pass" (which makes mor sense because  tbh is on localhost) it does not work.
please check attached logile ...

i tried also hevc as input codec and it works.... but instead of transcode it to AV1 it flips it back to x264

tream mapping:
  Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (hevc (native) -> h264 (h264_qsv))
  Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (aac (native) -> mp3 (libmp3lame))

Ciao Gerd

What do you mean "it does not work" when you set TVH to pass through the original video? It doesn't play on the clients? What kind of clients are they?

Hi !

Exactly , if i choose pass in tvheadend then i stay with the black screen... if i set it up in tvh to transcode to x264 via vaapi it works...

Can you re-attach the log from the opening post? It didn't actually attach.

When you set the input to pass through, do the clients try to direct play it? Or does it try to transcode?
