Synology Port and FFMpeg

[rnogueira-tech]

Hi i am trying to run this in synology but i am getting an error "driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint tunarr" i am guessing that this is related to the port 8000 used by tunarr ( if everyone uses 8000 no one uses 8000 :D) i try to bypass this with TUNARR_SERVER_PORT but no luck. This is my docker-composer:
"
services:
tunarr:
image: chrisbenincasa/tunarr:latest
container_name: tunarr
environment:
- PUID=${PUID}
- PGID=${PGID}
- TZ=${TZ}
- UMASK=${UMASK}
- TUNARR_SERVER_PORT=7223
devices:
- /dev/dri:/dev/dri
volumes:
- ./config:/config/tunarr
ports:
- 6222:7223/tcp
security_opt:
- no-new-privileges:true
restart: unless-stopped
"
I have FFmpeg installed in my disk-station but from the documentation i did not found the correct variable to set the path. I was expecting something like this " - FFMPEG_BINARY=/volume1/@appstore/ffmpeg7/bin/ffmpeg
- LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=/volume1/@appstore/synocli-videodriver/lib
- LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965"

Regarding the execution, i have some doubts, is the transcoding always running or only runs is someone is watching.
Best regards,

The problem is that you're specifying the wrong port inside the container, which is isolated from the rest of your network. The port inside the container should always be 8000. You can map whatever host port you want to it. So, for instance, you could have 7000:8000 in your port stanza and access tunarr on port 7000. This is all described in https://tunarr.com/getting-started/run/#docker and is the basics of docker bridge networking

EDIT: Looking again your config. There is no reason to change the tunarr port inside the container. The network is isolated. Just map the host port you want to 8000 within the container be done. The tunarr container build is only configured to expose 8000 (https://github.com/chrisbenincasa/tunarr/blob/main/Dockerfile#L9) it does not expect that to be changed from within and doing so will break things (as you see). Again there is no need to change the port with the container because you can map any port you want

Thanks for the support, i update the docker composer, the problem was in the inverse-proxy.
Setup:

• ds423+
• ffmeg: 7.1.1 from synocomunity

Current docker composer:
"services:
tunarr:
image: chrisbenincasa/tunarr:latest
container_name: tunarr
environment:
- PUID=${PUID}
- PGID=${PGID}
- TZ=${TZ}
- UMASK=${UMASK}
- FFMPEG_BINARY=/volume1/@appstore/ffmpeg7/bin/ffmpeg
- LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=/volume1/@appstore/synocli-videodriver/lib
- LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965
devices:
- /dev/dri:/dev/dri
volumes:
- ./config:/config/tunarr
ports:
- 6222:8000/tcp
security_opt:
- no-new-privileges:true
restart: unless-stopped".
I hope this information help you in the site documentation for synology. If you need more information i can try help.

I updated my docker-composer:"services:

using the GUI i can see everything green in System Health, on VAAPI Capabilities i can see that the configuration is ok based on the new changes to the composer. I created a channel and configured plex, however when i try to see the channel nothing happens in plex. am i missing something?

I have been testing, and so far I've been using the service over HTTPS. The only problem I've encountered so far is with the subtitles—they don't work with Intel QuickSync, only with the Video Acceleration API. I'll need to run some tests to see if there's any throttling when using this setting.

i have been testing. And i cannot put subtitles working for some reason i tried Intel QuickSync and Video Acceleration API. Every time i turn the subtitles i start getting alot on of "Still waiting for stream session to start. (num segments=0 < 2, playlist exists? false" resulting in "Error starting stream after retrying". do you know what is causing this?

Version 1.2.6 test results:

• Video accelaration API (VA-API):
  - no support for subtitles when the source is local
  - Render failes if using Watermark enabled
• Intel QuickSync:
  - no support for subtitles when the source is local
