I am running the channels docker image on CasaOS on a Beelink GK35 NUC and so far I am very impressed with this setup and I would like to get feedback from others trying the same. I had to map /dev/dri to the channels container to get hardware transcoding to work. I also got the raspberry pi version of CasaOS working but I was unable to get hardware transcoding to work with channels , any ideas?
On the Pi, you need to give the container access to all /dev/video* devices for transcoding to work.
Yes that took care of it! Ive mapped all 14 /dev/video* entries as well as /dev/dri and I now have hardware transcoding enabled. Makes a huge difference. On my 4gb Pi4 when transcoding from a 1080p OTA signal to a 720p browser window my utilization went from 90% to 39% and my power draw when from 7 to 4 watts.
With the extra available cpu cycles I can run additional apps on CasaOS. Anyway, CasaOS seems to be an ideal environment for running media servers like Channels DVR or plex.
