Add VAAPI HW transcoding to Scrypted LXC

[VCTGomes]

Scrypted has support to transcoding cameras with VAPPI and others protocols, but it doesn't work with this script, unfortunately.

It's important because sometimes we need to transcode some camera in another format, like from H265 to H264 to use on HomeKit.

Plex LXC can handle and add easily VAAPI when it's privileged, so I think it could be easily to replicate

would definitely be nice to use the iGPU with transcoding and the OpenVino plugin.

This feature can be tested for the next 24 hours. Based on feedback, there is a possibility that it might be incorporated into the main branch. Additionally, it will enable USB device passthrough for Emby, Jellyfin, Plex, and Tdarr.

bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/ct/scrypted.sh)"

Really happy to see a so super quickly reply. I tried to install it, but unfortunately I got the error when try to run the scrip. Container was created, but Scrypted isn't installed yet.

 [ERROR] in line 20: exit code 100: while executing command $STD apt-get install -y avahi-daemon
++ [[ 20 -eq 24 ]]
+ exit

Debian 11?

So, it appears to work with Debian 12 also.

I'm sorry, maybe I selected something wrong. Now it's installed, but vainfo command isn't working yet

Let me try again

[kzaoaai]

it worked for me. Even the Openvino plugin shows GPU as an option. I even kept the same container from before, but borrowed the "Setting Up Hardware Acceleration" section of the script to make it work. Obviously, the container has to be privileged with the mapping similar to the Plex lxc.

Incorporated into the main branch

VAAPI transcoding seems to be broken.
Once selected in H264 Encoder Arguments, it does revert back to libx64 (Software).

Here's the output of vainfo:

OpenVINO plugin does recognize it.
