rubenverhoef 11 Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Hi! I think Intel quick sync is not working on freebsd/freenas rigt now? Is it possible for now or in the future to achieve Intel quick sync implementation on freebsd? Thanks Ruben
rubenverhoef 11 Posted December 7, 2015 Author Posted December 7, 2015 yes, core i5 4th gen 4570s with freenas on it
josh4trunks 70 Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 I did a bit of research on this but still not 100% sure what needs to be implemented. here's what I learned this far... * this would require some type of driver support. but the Wikipedia page also mentions VA API can use it, so maybe we don't need the driver present. * if we need to access it in a jail we might need to make sure the driver / VA API is accessible from the jail * not sure how we'd enable it in ffmpeg but maybe it just needs to be available at compile time? or it's just a flag?
josh4trunks 70 Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 From this link, it looks like you need libmfx to compile ffmpeg with quicksync enabled. https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/2591 I can't tell if libmfx (Intel Media SDK) is open source / ported to FreeBSD. Maybe it's part of the libva driver but I don't know.
rubenverhoef 11 Posted December 8, 2015 Author Posted December 8, 2015 there is a comment on the link you posted: A fork of ffmpeg has implemented quick sync support. https://github.com/drocon11/ffmpeg-qsv HOWEVER, like all before it - depends on the Intel Media SDK as a build requirement. Which Intel only provides Windows and Linux. (no OS X, no FreeBSD). it is 18 months ago, i don't know the status now
