To clarify some pieces once again, I put up some
basic statements or questions:
..........snip
So what happened when adding oneVPL (qsv)
support to the build system; dynamic linked to
system or static added embedded into the
build?
dynamic
.....snip
Could in principle similar methods be
extended to include broader video acceleration
support for AMD/amf and NVIDIA/nvenc?
nvenc already supported, I think? At
some point I tried it with GF710 on livedvd and it
was working for me. try to test it if you have
proprietary nvidia drivers.
Apparently Cingg then should supports NVENC via some dynamic linked
external Nvidia lib, equivalent to what we did for for QSV via
oneVPL support.
While h264_nvenc.mp4 rendering works, h265_nvenc.mp4 fails with the
following errors, see detail below:
[hevc_nvenc @
0x7ff79c015640] No capable devices found
FFMPEG::open_encoder err: Generic error in an external library
Yes, seemingly:
Cin/bin/ffmpeg/video> ls *nvenc*
h264_nvenc.mp4 h264_nvenc.qt h265_nvenc.mp4
NVENC Presets
cat h264_nvenc.mp4
mp4 h264_nvenc
# encode for nvidia graphics hw only
preset medium
profile main
cat h265_nvenc.mp4
mp4 hevc_nvenc
# encode for nvidia graphics hw only
preset medium
profile main
Maybe I can do an attempt later, if I get life in the old GeForce
GTX 960 in my Skylake workstation.
Setup
----------
Booted BIOS and checked that the integrated Intel gpu and
multimonitor setup were enabled.
Installed the suse-prime package for
nvidia/intel gpu selection
(for NVIDIA optimus laptops with bbswitch support) and could then
run the command
prime-select on-demand
and verified that both the Intel and Nvidia drivers were available
inxi -G
