raven-au 17 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 As I said Ian, I was way over my head, I just tried renaming one .so file because I saw somewhere on the internet people talking about a direct compatibility between va-api and the vdpau, it was a long shot. I saw some discussion about using the vdpau driver act as an interface between the va-api driver too, I will try to improve my knowledge on this matter. HW acceleration on the Radeon nas is a pain right now, and your response on trying to compile the driver and get the b-frame error I think I saw somewhere else. I would've tried to install the whole vdpau driver if the Linux in qnap wasn't so restricted. The qts 4.3.4 announcement with gpgpu support may tip the scales on the compatibility with drivers and multiple gpus, but that is my wishful thinking right now. LOL, and it's pretty hard for me too. That Bellagio driver in that tar package you got your hands on is part of the mesa too. It's an OpenMAX IL driver, I wonder if that would work with Emby ..... I'll have a go at building it.

It's an OpenMAX IL driver, I wonder if that would work with Emby ..... I'll have a go at building it. I've seen that the mesa drive is quite good, the question is the compatibility to use the hw acceleration right. And that tar package was a coincidence, I was going for the vdpau driver but saw on a blog the tar name and found that one. Maybe we can indeed be lucky right?

And that tar package was a coincidence, I was going for the vdpau driver but saw on a blog the tar name and found that one. Maybe we can indeed be lucky right? I enabled more mesa options and included the Bellagio omx drivers in my build. Haven't checked to see if the omx drivers actually work yet. Tried the vaapi and vaapi with vdpau backend again using the updated build and get the same result. The vaapi comes back with the B frames not supported message (pretty sure that's a mesa problem not an ffmpeg problem) and vaapi using the vdpau backend silently fails, no message whatsoever so no clue where to look. So it's not looking good. I can put the build stuff I've used on Dropbox if anyone is interested, perhaps someone else can see something I got wrong!

OddbOd 21 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I did however build the r600 vaapi driver and will include it in our next package, hopefully it works as is on AMD models. It should but don't expect miracles, this bug explains why better than I can. It looks like there's a limitation with B-frame support with the r600 vaapi driver. It's a crap-shoot as to whether your GPU supports it, for example the RX480 definitely doesn't. Oh and OpenMAX only supports CQP rate control making it practically useless. - Added support for discrete GPU cards. A GPU card can improve trascoding performance, and enables your NAS to run HD Station and Linux Station (only supported on TS-1685 and TS-x77 series NAS, but not supported on Linux Station 1.4). Humbug! That's just just more vague marketing jive from QNAP. Did you ever notice how these claims and pages like this never go into any detail and never mention encoding? The simple fact is that if you want end-to-end HW accelerated transcoding you need a modern, supported hardware platform running Windows. Anybody else would be better off doing what the pro's do e.g. the Australian Broadcasting Corporation uses EC2 instances to transcode their content and they don't use hardware encoding as can be seen here.
