Hey there,

 

I am really new to this. I bought a J3455 apollo lake board to create my own small media server.

The goal is to transcode x265 up to 4k/10bit. Someone over here got it working on his Synology with the same chip: https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/comment/1561297/#Comment_1561297

 

My problem is that ffmpeg doesnt seem to be able to use hardware acceleration correctly. It always falls back to the standard CPU transcoding.  I use these files for testing: http://www.h265files.com/

All files play fine with hardware acceleration in MPC-HD. But transcoding always falls back to the CPU.

 

I am using the latest Emby beta and tried different intel drivers.

 

I attached the transcoding log. The most interesting part seems to be this:

Stream mapping:

hi @@fightforlife, to help us narrow down the problem, i notice you have both qsv decoding and encoding enabled. can you try only enabling one of them at a time, and see which of the two causes the failure? thanks !

No Problem, I deactivated the hardware encoding and got nearly the same error:

So what are these pugins in the error message? Do I need to compile an extra ffmpeg binary? 

Or do I need any additional Software? Intel Meda SDK?

 

Edit: Mpeg2 transcoding seems to be working with hardware dec/enc

VP8 and h264 play directly

Disable decoding and enable encoding. It's trying to decode with QS.

That is working, kind of.  (slow)

But I would love to see both in hardware. ecnoding and decoding.

 

On linux (Synology) it seems possible without much hassle. 

Is the problem in the graphics driver and quicksync, or does ffmpeg not know how to use the hevc_qsv decoder?

 

Googling around I found at least 3 other people having the same problem with the hevc_qsv encoder.

It has to do with ffmpeg. It needs to be built to support all of the variations.

I think part of the issue with the new Intel CPUs is that it isn't GPU only for QS. The GPU works in tandem with the newer chipsets. That's why if you use one in an older mobo, you can't use all of it's capabilities. And I have a feeling that isn't being fully incorporated in these ffmpeg builds. I'm sure they'll get there, though.

Can I do something to speed up the process?

You can experiment with different ffmpeg builds. But with forethought of potentially causing other issues. This is why I've moved away from HWA in the server. If you want to test, I'd suggest running a separate beta server, and test with that.

We already have the libraries in our ffmpeg builds for windows, so the question is why isn't it working on your machine.

 

I would make sure your hardware supports it, then i would make sure windows is up to date as well as your graphics drivers.

Out of curiosity, what motherboard do you have?

i tried the nightly builds of zeranoe, but nothing changed.

 

I use an Asrock j3455-ITX board with an J3455 Processor, 8gigs of ram and an Integrated Intel® HD Graphics 500: 12 EUs inside (Up to 750MHz)

 

Quote from the webpage:

Supports HW Accelerated Decoders: H.264 @ level 5.2, HEVC (H.265) 10b @MP level 5.1 (GPU accelerated), JPEG, VP8, VP9

And per this table: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video

It should be able to decode HEVC up to 8K.

 

Windows is updated, I am looking fo a new driver now.

So everything is updated.

 

emby latest beta,  ffmpeg latest nightly, intel newest driver, Windows all updates.

 

 

I get the same error in emby!

In addition the newer Intel driver causes problems with chroma sub sampling.

With the original windows driver I could use HDMI2.0 4k at 60 with 4:4:4. With the new driver only 4:2:0 is possible.

Well, on it's face, it should work.

have you tried just decoding by itself?

According to post three, that partly worked

yes, but the same problem always psersists, when decoding hevc with qsv.

Could not load the requested plugin '15dd936825ad475ea34e35f3f54217a6': specified object was not found (-9)

So this missing plugin is some part of a dll file provided by the Intel Driver? is this correct?

Could it be some kind of a brocken link, or something like that? registry?

 

 

EDIT:

I found this maybe it is helpful?

Maybe that helps:

 

15dd936825ad475ea34e35f3f54217a6  is the HEVC Software decoder

 

33a61c0b4c27454ca8d85dde757c6f8e should be the HEVC hardware decoder.

 

so it is using the wrong plugin?

Good find although we're not specifying that. we just tell ffmpeg to use nvenc and it makes that decision.

I think I found the solution. At least for the testfile.

 

ffmpeg is normaly using the hevc software decoder when not specified different. That is why the plugin can not be found, because it should be hardware!

 

By simply adding 

./ffmpeg -y -c:v hevc_qsv -load_plugin hevc_hw -i video-h265.mkv -an -c:v h264_qsv out.mp4

 quicksync is working as it should. And fast!  Source: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/5899

 

Is it possible to integrate this in the emby beta? (or is there a way for me to integrate this command?)

have you tested this in a standalone command line?

I tried it with the same h265 test file and this command:

 

ffmpeg.exe -y -c:v hevc_qsv -load_plugin hevc_hw -i video-h265.mkv -an -c:v h264_qsv  out.mp4

 

I get around 60-70FPS while transcoding.

Encoding to hevc also works with this plugin.

 

The output file is correct, but is missing audio. Probably wrong decoder settings. (I never used ffmped cli beforen)
