Running Live Transcoder without GPU

If your instance doesn't feature Nvidia GPU, you may still run Live Transcoder with pipelines which don't involve GPU processing.

The following use cases can be used without a GPU:

Use case	Input	Output
MPEG-TS UDP, RTP, SRT - Video passthrough	H.262, H.264, H.265, JPEG2000, JPEG-XS	H.262, H.264, H.265, JPEG2000, JPEG-XS
MPEG-TS UDP, RTP, SRT - Framerate conversion	H.262, H.264, JPEG-XS	H.262, H.264, JPEG-XS

To enable CPU-only run, the docker-compose.yml must be changed this way:

Open docker-compose.yml with a text editor:
vim docker-compose.yml
or
nano docker-compose.yml
Delete or comment out (# ) the following lines:

deploy:
  resources:
    reservations:
      devices:
        - driver: nvidia
          count: all
          capabilities: [gpu]

and:

- NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all

Save the file (in the vim editor press <esc> key, then :wg + <enter>; in the nano editor press <ctrl> + X and confirm by pressing Y, then <enter>)
