📋 Additional Information (optional)
FileFlows is still new to me, but I wanted this cleaner interface compared to Tdarr. Maybe @GCustom, @kalua85, and @leah-potato can take a look as you were all on the original discussion thread.
This script does check if the LXC container is privileged and will set up HW Acceleration just like our Jellyfin, Tdarr, ErsatzTV, and others do. I did add the option to install the
intel-media-va-driver-non-freeby asking the user Y/N during installation. I copied that portion from https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVED/blob/main/misc/hw-acceleration.sh. At least with my home-lab setup, only thenon-freedriver worked for me.I'm still hesitant on keeping the update function because I couldn't find a reliable way to check for updates on git or their website. It's a freemium software just like Tdarr. Looking at the self-hosted service's API, I did find endpoints to check if there's an update. I did my best to check and then extract the latest version. If that isn't fine, I can take the update script out. FileFlows does have an auto-updater, but that's in their basic subscription (non-free). I believe the app should tell you there's an update and it can do it manually.
The other gotcha was setting up the correct
ffmpegandffmprobepaths. FileFlows expects them to be in/usr/local/bin, but ffmpeg installs it at/usr/bin. Since FileFlows doesn't have an config file to edit those variables, I had to use the API endpoints to delete, then re-add them under the new paths.✨ New feature
I had to modify the
build.functo include this new scriptFileFlowsduring the HW Acceleration setup.🔄 This issue represents a GitHub Pull Request. It cannot be merged through Gitea due to API limitations.
