Diect3d Erro and No Playback When No Active Display

goose9137

Hello,

I've been getting no playback and the below error from ErastzTV when I'm not connected over RDP to my windows PC:

HLS process for channel 4 has terminated unsuccessfully with exit code -1313558101: [AVHWDeviceContext @ 000001dd6bd12c80] Failed to create Direct3D device

However, once I remote into the server and a display is activated from the RDP session, then ErsatzTV starts working fine again. Should ErsatzTV be "waking" Direct3D when trying to run or am I missing a setting?

GPU: AMD Radeon RX Vega 11

I'm using AMF but don't see a section for AMF capabilities.

I ended up installing a virtual display and DirectX seems to be happy with that, I've so far been running Ersatztv channels now for an hour or so with no errors or playback failures (before it would fail 2-3 min after I disconnected from RDP). If anyone else sees this and happens to have the same problem, the two solutions I could find are a virtual display or getting a display emulator EDID device to plug into one of your display ports on the server. I only tried the former since it seems to be working but it sounded like both would potentially work.

Virtual display eventually seemed to fail with the same error thrown. Waiting on a display emulator to be delivered to give that a shot and will report back on results.
