EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED (EGLError) on RaspberryPi #52

jose1711 · 2020-10-29T13:30:57Z

Following instructions in blitzberry.md I am stuck with the following error:

$ blitzloop --mpv-ao=alsa --no-audioengine

	),

and have no idea how to proceed. Raspberry is a 3B+ model.

This is without X, running on the text terminal?

Can you check your libEGL.so.* in the library path, and that /opt/vc/lib/libEGL.so exists? Maybe add a print(name) at the top of find_library. I get the feeling that the wrong EGL library is being loaded.

Can you use mpv --vo=rpi to play back videos with mpv normally?

jose1711 · 2020-10-30T11:00:54Z

Running from text terminal. libEGL exists:

[alarm@alarmpi blitzloop]$ ls -l /opt/vc/lib/libEGL.so 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 202072 Oct 16 18:14 /opt/vc/lib/libEGL.so
[alarm@alarmpi blitzloop]$ md5sum /opt/vc/lib/libEGL.so 
31494c335a11c07beceb259b48efe3e6  /opt/vc/lib/libEGL.so

Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /opt/vc/lib prior to running blitzloop yields the same error.

Looks like find_library(name) is not being called at all (as print was not invoked and intentional typo I made did not raise exception either).

rpi output is not recognized by mpv:

[alarm@alarmpi ~]$ mpv --vo=rpi video.mp4

Shortly after sending this I realized I did not have mpv-rpi installed (only mpv which conflicts with it). Sadly the compilation of its dependency - ffmpeg-mmal is keeping me from building it :-(

marcan · 2020-10-30T13:47:10Z

Yeah, ffmpeg-mmal is a pain in the ass to build.

The thing is, as far as I know you need that to get the video decode acceleration... So it's pretty much a requirement. BlitzLoop on the Rpi3 is already barely holding on on that CPU, without video decode accel it'll be a mess.

It's possible that installing those pulls in some dependency that fixes BlitzLoop too...

marcan · 2020-10-30T13:49:37Z

I believe it might be possible to use BlitzLoop with the drm (fkms) codepath on rPi, and iff you can get video decode accel that would be fine probably, but I'm not holding my breath...

jose1711 · 2020-10-30T14:55:03Z

Ok, I managed to build both ffmpeg-mmal and mpv-rpi after all. Now I am getting different error:

[alarm@alarmpi ~]$ mpv --vo=rpi video.mp4 
 (+) Video --vid=1 (*) (h264 1280x720 25.000fps)
 (+) Audio --aid=1 (*) (aac 2ch 48000Hz)
[vo/rpi] Could not get DISPMANX objects.
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (--vo) device.
Video: no video

marcan · 2020-10-30T14:57:01Z

At least it's clearly not a BlitzLoop problem... I wonder if something changed in Arch Linux ARM somewhere along the way, or something else is different about your setup...

jose1711 · 2020-10-30T15:20:12Z

After reading mpv-player/mpv#7314 I decided to try compile an older version of mpv (0.29.1) and it finally worked:

[alarm@alarmpi ~]$ mpv -fs --vo=rpi video.mp4 
Playing: video.mp4
 (+) Video --vid=1 (*) (h264 1280x720 25.000fps)
 (+) Audio --aid=1 (*) (aac 2ch 48000Hz)
Using hardware decoding (mmal).
AO: [alsa] 48000Hz stereo 2ch float
VO: [rpi] 1280x720 mmal

Video plays smoothly. Sadly the error reported by blitzloop did not go away.

marcan · 2020-10-30T16:23:55Z

Interesting. I'll take a look, but I'm quite busy right now and might not get to doing a full repro on a rPi in quite a while...

jose1711 · 2020-10-30T17:13:12Z

If you want: to speed things up I can make an image of the SD card (contains nothing but a fresh Arch Linux + blitzloop) and publish it somewhere.

marcan · 2020-10-30T19:35:34Z

That might help, but I still probably won't get to it for a few weeks... I'm catching up on quick GitHub things but I'm a bit too swamped for a proper hardware device debugging session right now :(

jose1711 · 2020-10-31T21:59:29Z

Ok, putting my RPi on a shelf then. Feel free to ping me once you have some free cycles and I'll send it to you.

cyph84 · 2021-10-10T03:25:20Z

@jose1711 can you try building mpv-0.33.1 with this PR I sent to mpv? mpv-player/mpv#9097

jose1711 · 2021-11-01T09:39:52Z

@cyph84 Please allow the following questions:

do I still need to build ffmpeg-mmal prior to recompilation instead of using regular ffmpeg and have mpv detect it during configuration?
is mpv supposed to recognize --vo=rpi?

jose1711 · 2021-11-01T16:35:52Z

Following https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=270226#p1692111 I was able to make it work finally. Extra steps taken in addition to what's mentioned in https://github.com/marcan/blitzloop/blob/master/docs/blitzberry.md:

Install ffmpeg-mmal from AUR
Download PKGBUILD of mpv-git from AUR and make the following modifications:

source=('git+https://github.com/cyph84/mpv#branch=fix-rpi-library-order'
..
        --enable-libmpv-shared --enable-rpi \

Build and install mpv-git. As a result mpv -vo help should list rpi - Raspberry Pi (MMAL) among supported outputs.
Create symbolic links in /opt/vc/lib:

cd /opt/vc/lib
sudo ln -s libbrcmEGL.so libEGL.so.1
sudo ln -s libbrcmGLESv2.so libGLESv2.so.2

Populate /boot/config.txt:

dtparam=audio=on
gpu_mem=384
initramfs initramfs-linux.img followkernel

Edit /home/alarm/startblitz.sh:

#!/bin/sh
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/vc/lib
cd "$(dirname "$0")"
amixer cset numid=3 2
python -u /usr/bin/blitzloop --port=80 --no-audioengine --mpv-ao=alsa

This makes blitzloop work on an updated Arch Linux. What I left untested is microphone and jackd config.

cyph84 · 2021-11-02T03:10:59Z

@cyph84 Please allow the following questions:

* do I still need to build `ffmpeg-mmal` prior to recompilation instead of using regular `ffmpeg` and have `mpv` detect it during configuration?

You can build against regular ffmpeg, but you need ffmpeg-mmal installed to use --hwdec=mmal

* is `mpv` supposed to recognize `--vo=rpi`?

I think its best you explicitly specify the vo

jose1711 · 2021-11-07T14:27:13Z

Btw compiling latest mpv-git still results in [vo/rpi] Could not get DISPMANX objects. so mpv-player/mpv#9097 is indeed required.
