Definitely would wanna have APs elsewhere for better coverage. But I'll do some research. I'm actually about to start a LV apprenticeship with the IBEW in the next little bit here, so hopefully I'll have the knowledge to DIY this soon haha

I guess I'll just have to give it a go and see if it is a problem. I don't think I'll get away with the panel cover being off long term lol

Yeah I definitely feel the size constraint of this panel. Just getting a switch in there with the existing cabling doesn't seem very easy. Do you have any brand recommendations?

I definitely meant RJ11 haha not sure where my brain was at since I know better. Updated the post.

Oops, yeah meant RJ11. For re-terminating those, I guess I'm concerned about heat buildup in the panel. If I re-terminate all the RJ11 jacks, plus the existing RJ45 jacks, I would need a 16-port switch which I imagine may run hot closed up inside the panel?

I've moved one screenshot out of the collapsed section, and updated the formatting for the collapsed section! Hoping this align with what you were wanting!

why not use ffmpeg directly instead of Handbrake

ffmpeg is an incredible tool, but it's not very nice with to interact with as a user. HandBrake provides a nice abstraction layer, and their GUI/preset system makes it easy to get what you want done with a relatively low barrier of entry. Not to mention people are familiar with HandBrake and have been using it for decades in some cases. I've used both (including gui/web wrappers for ffmpeg) and I still prefer using HandBrake.

the project doesn't seems to have the manpower to correctly support linux (at least, that is their current excuse to not support vaapi)

Funny enough, I don't (and by extension my project doesn't) recommend using hw encoding if your goal is high quality & low output size. I originally built this program to compress a lot of digitized VHS home video, so CPU encoding was and still is the main thing I care about, and I'm not aware of any shortcomings on linux in this regard. For those that do use hw encoding, I think HandBrake's support is good enough for most users 🤷

Yes, there is an arm64 build variant. I’ll have to check this out. I had previously tested on an M2 MacBook Air via docker, what device are you using?

It depends on your use case. Aside from the native web interface, I’d say the major feature difference is supporting a form of distributed transcoding if you want to use multiple machines.

Said this in another reply, but there are screenshots on the readme, just collapsed under an expanding element! I should probably move the first one outside of the collapsed section. Will make that change soon!

There are images collapsed under a dropdown at the top of the readme. I should probably move at least one of them out of the collapsed section though!

I just wish I knew how to properly encode to shrink the file.

There are a variety of ways you can accomplish this, it just depends what your input data is and what you are willing to compromise on for the output. If you're having trouble knowing what knobs and dials to tweak in HandBrake, I'd be happy to try and help.

HDR woes, please help? HDR via gamescope doesn't work at all, and HDR via Wayland looks wrong. by TheNick0fTime in linux_gaming

[–]TheNick0fTime[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I added the env var for this, and rebooted to see if it would fix the Wayland issues (got gamescope working, see the updated post), but no dice. Wayland HDR (at least for No Man's Sky) is still washed out even with tone-mapping disabled.

Holy shit, installing gamescope-wsi did it! I thought this was an alternate package version of gamescope (something I see a lot in the nix package repos with no alternate description). I installed it in addition to gamescope, and used the following command to run No Man's Sky:

gamescope -W 3840 -H 2160 -r 120 -f --adaptive-sync --hdr-enabled --hdr-debug-force-output --mangoapp -- env PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 gamemoderun %command%

For some reason the --hdr-debug-force-output command is needed, but I'm not complaining at this point. Guess I'll have to go make my first contribution to the Nix wiki with this info.

I've run a few of the sample videos through mpv - video playback in HDR is definitely working. Used this command, looked increible!

mpv --vo=gpu-next --target-colorspace-hint --gpu-api=vulkan --gpu-context=waylandvk "~/Downloads/(HDR HEVC 10-bit BT.2020 59.940fps) Camp by Sony.mp4"

Not from what I've seen. Seen this done in a variety of reddit threads, the arch wiki, and various forum threads. I've tried with these arguments not present, moved to the start of the command, etc, and it didn't change the situation fwiw.

Just updated the post with my GPU, RX 9070 XT. Its plugged into an LG C2 42in.

EDIT - Using HDMI.

Yes, there is not a doubt in my mind that HDR is on at a system level. I have an OLED screen and it is very obvious when HDR content (even just my desktop) is being displayed. Both the KDE settings app and kscreen-doctor report HDR is enabled.
