Fedora 39: Fatal: Couldn't find any working encoder Despite encoders installed #338
-
|
In Fedora 39 sunshine appears to not be able to find any encoders (not even software). I have tried appimage, an rpm (in a distrobox of fedora 38), and flatpak. None of them work. Testing with the appimage: I see there's an error earlier which asks for setcap permissions. Doing so changes nothing. ffmpeg is absolutely installed on this system. Basically the same issue with this in a distrobox container or the flatpak. ffmpeg is also installed as a runtime for my flatpak instance Any suggestions? |

Oh, and running sunshine with sudo does give a different log, though it ultimately settles on no working encoder still. |

Using the sudo pactl hack (mentioned in the flathub description entry) ; i.e:
works but restricts capture to KMS which isn't useful if you i.e want to use wlroots for a virtual desktop capture on a separate screen under hyprland/sway etc. My guess is that the flatpak images can't access filesystem/dev entries they need when launched as an unprivledged user from the flatpak container. I was able to get this to work when sunshine was installed to the system with the RPM. Although i'm running rawhide/fc39 and the build process for sunshine rpm's seems to be not up to par with other distros. |

If you're referring to the lack of cuda support, that is due to Fedora shipping GCC 13 which is not compatible with Cuda. |

Nope - I'm on amdgpu. Would like to see it setup as a copr ideally; and
have build pipelines so that the 2 year support + rawhide builds are just
automagically done.

Fedora 39 support will be added when 37 is end of life (in the coming weeks). A PR is already up for this and ready to merge. But it will wait to be merged as I'm not adding additional strain to our CI pipeline at this time, since we only have a maximum of 20 simultaneous GitHub runners across our org... and the fedora builds take 4-5 hours each for the arm architecture. Not sure why arm emulation is so slow with the Fedora docker images, the same builds only take 30-45 minutes on Debian based docker images. |

Suggest investigating copr for fedora builds - which will remove and freeup
your github builds for other things.

Fedora COPR is not a CI/CD tool, it's a package manager. Wouldn't change anything for our CI pipeline, other than make it more complex. We generally do not publish to any package managers, with few exceptions. |

You're sorta correct
Copr uses srpm to do it's pipeline. What I am suggesting is spitting out
srpm from your existing pipeline and using copr binary pipeline/compilation
of fedora rpms.

I found a way to get it working in Fedora 39 on Wayland here. The instructions there should generalize to pretty much any distro since the app lives in an Ubuntu distrobox. I also had luck getting it to work in the flatpak if you switch to x11. I never figured out how to get it working in Wayland outside of a distrobox container though. The RPM might work but none has been published for Fedora 39, and I don’t feel like building a nightly |

Fedora 39 is in our nightly release already. |

True, I tested that just now and it is able to find encoders just fine on Wayland Fedora 39. Nightly link is here: https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/releases/tag/nightly-dev |

Are you sure? Fedora 39 here, using wayland with 3/01/2024 nightly but still dont have encoders:

First of all thanks for your time debugging this, answering your questions: -didn't setcap when using Wayland --> Using wayland with setcap applied: sudo setcap -r I even created the needed udev rules: and enabled them: Here you have my logs: and vainfo if it helps: I can open a new issue if you want but i see there that people are still suffering from this using wayland and i don't want to spam the repo more: |

Already build them from source: https://www.carteakey.dev/building-mesa-vaapi-fedora/ I think that's not the issue, if you look closelly at the docs it's not the same issue:
vs
Rear building i get same results: Don't know if it's a Fedora issue or Sunshine, but involves both. What is really annoying is that that's a fresh Fedora 39 install. @Nitrousoxide now that you finally made it work with the nightly RPM. Can you please consider to put some light on this? How did you manage to make it work? EDIT1: Rolled back to X11 and disabled setcap: Now on X11 encoders are recognized and sunshine now is GPU accellerated over the TVs on my home: Ignore HEVC codec errors, my GTX 970 isn't compatible with H265. So now that X11 works i asume that hardware accelleration son sunshine works fine on Fedora running X11, but clearly there is a problem on Wayland looking at my report and other issues opened here, please count on me for testing it and debugging wayland and let me know what can i test or try to fix it :) |

As an aside, it might be a good recommendation to suggest people setup rdp on their streaming server if possible too. RDP will wake up the monitor from sleep (something sunshine can't do) so you can log in to a locked system remotely and then go from there with streaming via sunshine. |

You may want to be more specific. RDP is a Windows protocol, and this discussion is around Fedora. |

Logs: At least on my situation still doesn't work rear this merge. Let's wait for other reportings. Rolling back to X11, which works fine on those nightlies for me. |

Hey! Been out for almost three weeks, updated today to yesterday nightly and now encoders seems to be found on Wayland 👍

LizardByte now has copr repos you can use to install Sunshine. Currently fedora 39-41 and rawhide are supported for aarch64 and x86_64. All builds also have cuda support (v12.6.2). https://docs.lizardbyte.dev/projects/sunshine/en/master/md_docs_2getting__started.html#fedora Note: stable will be empty until the next stable release. Also since there's been no activity on this issue since January. I will close it. |
