[SOLVED] FFmpeg with UNRAID ?

[Keichi]

Hello,

 

I am trying to install the lastest version of ffmpeg inside UNRAID.

I find the Docker "FFmpeg-mkvdts2ac3", but ffmpeg is pretty old and i need a newer version.

 

I activate the DockerHub option in Community Application to install the official docker (https://registry.hub.docker.com/r/jrottenberg/ffmpeg)

But it is not working...

 

I don't really know what to do, because i am pretty new with Docker. And it seems pretty hard to find infos about ffmpeg and unraid.

 

Would you have some adivces for me ?

 

Thank you all,

 

K.

not exactly sure what you're trying to accomplish, video conversion or compression? there are other arguably better containers that can help with that. handbrake or tdarr offer the most customizable options, but my favorite and preference is Unmanic.

Hello,

 

I need to do video conversion using h265 lib to gain some space, in fact.

 

I play on my computer with the settings (it is videos from Osmo Action) and i am happy with it. But i have like 600To of file, so i wanted to do the conversion on the NAS

 

And i use ffmpeg CLI because i understand that was the best choise

My experience with using ffmpeg is that software re-encoding to x265 produces files that are significantly smaller than when using hardware re-encoding.   That is worth bearing in mind when trying to maximise space savings.   It becomes a size v speed trad-off as hardware re-encoding is MUCH faster.

 

in turns of docker based tools on Unraid to make this easy, my experience is that Unmanic is least effort, but tdarr provides finer grain control for those who want to invest the extra effort.

In fact, i use software (cpu) encoding with libx265, it is slower but the quality is pretty good. Took a lot of time, but as i will run it on UNRAID, i can wait.

 

My problem is that i use some pretty new command from libx265 and Unmaniac which i didn't know about (and like it, thanks !!) output this type of error :

[libx265 @ 0x557996519700] Unknown option: scenecut-aware-qp.

[libx265 @ 0x557996519700] Unknown option: scenecut-window.

 

Handbrake, avidemux, tdarr, unmanic and FFmpeg-mkvdts2ac3 seems to not be up-to-date regarding ffmpeg libx265 implementation

 

But i guess i will still go for Unmanic, it is simple, you can configure the ffmpeg command line and can watch a speficic folder (instead of the main purpose of watching the whole library) so it is a pretty good container, thank you both for the discovery !

sure thing. also worth noting is that unmanic is still under active development. it's also still in beta, so there are things being ironed out, but Josh.5 even recently has pushed a lot of new updates.

Probably worth posting a message in the relevant container's support thread or on their area on github.  Quite likely the maintainer will then get around to updating the packages within the container.

Thank you.

 

Unmanic seems really good. Just posted an issue because i would like to continue with it.

 

Thank you all, i marked the subject as Solved, pretty happy with all your answers, thank you for the quick solution !
