No HW transcoding anymore

[BalthazarBux 16]

Hi!

Lately I've experienced that my CPU doing all the work for all my video files...., Im sure the HW transcoding worked before.

 

>>>>>> Processing Plan

Name CanDoInHW WillDoInHW Reason

NVDEC NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 - H.264 ... >> True True Hardware Codec

VideoInput >> False False The sw pipeline builder does not support hw accelera...

VideoOutput >> False False Not a hardware encoder

x264 Software Encoder >> False False Software Codec

 

Getting so in the log.

 

What is it I can do?
Is it something I need to update?

 

The software pipeline builder... Is that ffdshow or something else?

Also found this in the logs, but I have 537.42 drivers

Oh wait!

Is it because of H.265 video? It doesnt support encoding that?

Maybe it is that... H.264 was more common before and now H.265 is more of a standard in my files. 
I'm gonna test with a 264 file-

Nope, still the same

Ill guess my graphics card doesnt support encoding...?

But I'm almost sure it was HW transcoding before.

I always woke up when someone tried to transcode from my server since the fans starting go berserk, but after I activated it stopped. But now it has started again.
Maybe just imagination

Yes a 1030 does Decoding, but not Encoding.
And when Transcoding its need both.
You would need a 1050 as a minimum or even better a 1650.
