Streaming video from Raspberry PI

 

Just a note to future self on how to stream video from Raspi running Debian GNU/Linux 13

stdbuf -o0 rpicam-vid -t 0   --inline   --width 1296 --height 972   --framerate 3   --codec h264 --bitrate 500000 --profile main   --nopreview -g 3   -o - | gst-launch-1.0 -v   fdsrc do-timestamp=true blocksize=$(( 1024 * 256 )) ! video/x-h264,stream-format=byte-stream,alignment=au !   h264parse config-interval=-1 ! rtph264pay pt=96 ! udpsink host=192.168.1.1 port=5000 sync=false

And receive it on a Mac

% cat rtp.sdp

c=IN IP4 192.168.1.1

m=video 5000 RTP/AVP 96

a=rtpmap:96 H264/90000


ffplay -protocol_whitelist file,udp,rtp -i rtp.sdp

iMovie event library on a network drive, NAS

I was shocked to find that iMovie '09 would not allow storing event libraries on networked disks. The AFP volume would show up, but remain non-functional with a yellow exclamation sign. There are plenty of instructions for hacking around the limitation with clumsy symbolic links. I discovered a much simpler approach, using an undocumented (?) setting built right into iMovie:"Allow Network Volumes". Use at your own risk, try the following command in Terminal defaults write -app iMovie allowNV -bool true

Proxmox PCIe passthrough on HP gen8 - failed to set iommu for container

Problem Setting up PCIe passthrough from host to a VM was supposed to be easy. However, being an HP server, there was a bit more to it than usual. The VM simply refused to start when configured use Nvidia GPU from the host: vfio error: 0000:04:00.0: failed to setup container for group 21: failed to set iommu for container: Operation not permitted In dmesg there was a bit more background on what was wrong: fio-pci 0000:04:00.1: Device is ineligible for IOMMU domain attach due to platform RMRR requirement.  Contact your platform vendor. Luckily, HP had issued a customer advisory on this. It describes a convoluted method to disable this RMRR per slot basis. It seems to work for me, so I thought I'd write down some notes if I ever run into this again. Basic setup Proxmox has decent instructions for preparing the host for passthrough setup in general, in summary: -  add  intel_iommu=on to   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT  in the file  /etc/default/grub - add vfio ...
