Dear support,

I'm trying to use the MFXVideoENC_Query function to determine the maximum possible target bitrate for different video resolutions. Unfortunately, the function always returns MFX_ERR_UNSUPPORTED no matter what structures or attributes I feed in (I tried mode 1. and mode 2.).
Plattform is Intel i3-4330 / HD 6400 / Win10 x64 / MediaSDK 2016 / H.264 HW encode / API Version 1.20 / GPU driver version June 9th 2017.
The actual encoding works properly. 

As I understand from the Reference Manual the CodecId attribute (MFX_CODEC_AVC) is the only one must have parameter in the mfxVideoParam structure in order to receive a valid result. Can you advise how to get the MFXVideoENC_Query function to work as expected ?

Thank you,
Stefan.

Hi,

I'm trying to initialize the audio encoder SDK, but I always get the MFX_ERR_INVALID_HANDLE error. Here is my code:

mfxIMPL mfxImpl = MFX_IMPL_HARDWARE;

mfxVersion mfxVersion = {MFX_AUDIO_VERSION_MINOR, MFX_AUDIO_VERSION_MAJOR};

MFXAudioSession mfxSession;

stStatus = mfxSession.Init(mfxImpl, &mfxVersion);

MFXAudioENCODE mfxEncoder(mfxSession);

mfxAudioParam mfxParam;

memset(&mfxParam, 0x00, sizeof(mfxAudioParam));

mfxParam.mfx.CodecId = MFX_CODEC_AAC;

mfxParam.mfx.CodecProfile = MFX_PROFILE_AAC_MAIN;

mfxParam.mfx.Bitrate = 128000;

mfxParam.mfx.SampleFrequency = 48000;

mfxParam.mfx.NumChannel = 2;

mfxParam.mfx.BitPerSample = 16;

mfxParam.mfx.OutputFormat = MFX_AUDIO_AAC_RAW;

mfxParam.mfx.StereoMode = MFX_AUDIO_AAC_LR_STEREO;

stStatus = mfxEncoder.Init(&mfxParam); // stStatus value = MFX_ERR_INVALID_HANDLE

mfxEncoder.Close();

mfxSession.Close();

BR, John.

Hi Experts,

Good day.

I am facing the issue when try to use MediaServerStudioEssentials2017R3 @ CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611

The installation is correct but when i tried to use -hw decode, it says MFX_ERR_UNSUPPORTED; but -sw works well.

Do you have any suggestions/comments?

Thanks in advance.

Please check the error log below.

Hi,

MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeFrameAsync() is, as documentation states, asynchronous but eventually I have to synchronize anyway ( block thread execution to wait for the result ) using SyncOperation(). Is there any way to be notified by a callback when the operation ends and the output surface can be read safely ?

Thanks,

Kamil

Hi,

When I try to decode I-frame only H264 stream ( after removing all P and B frames - full IPBBBP... stream can be decoded without problems ) I get following sequence after calling DecodeFrameAsync() :

 - MFX_WRN_VIDEO_PARAM_CHANGED ( each I frame has SPS and PPS NALS repeated - but they are always the same ),

 - MFX_ERR_MORE_SURFACE

 - MFX_ERR_MORE_DATA ( mfxBitstream tells that all input data was consumed ),

and next I-frame gives me exactly the same results, so I always get MFX_ERR_MORE_DATA at the end and no output frame is produced. I set MFX_BITSTREAM_COMPLETE_FRAME flag but it changes nothing. How should I decode this stream ?

Thanks,

Kamil

Hello,

I have a transcode pipeline. Decode is done with custom Codec Plugin which I developed and loaded with MFXVideoSession::Register as dynamic library. vpp & encode is done with Intel Media Encoder (AVC). If single file is decoded it works fine. In case parallel decoding of different streams happen than some frames from one session get mixed into second session (random frames from different file got inserted). As I know each decode operation should happen in different session (MFXVideoSession::mfxSession), and plugin is loaded into separate memory.

While Initializing each session I checked and verify that MFXVideoSession & MFXVideoUSER pointer address is different on each init. Session parameter bIsJoin is set to false, so they are not joined.

Where do you think data sharing happens ?

Doesn't Media pipeline load separate copy of decode library for each transcode session ?

Hi,

I have built Intel Media SDK in Ubuntu 16.04 after patching the kernel as given in "http://docs.unified-streaming.com/documentation/capture/media-sdk.html#linux".

When I enter vainfo this is what I get:

When I run sample_decode, it gives this error:

Hi

I'm trying to figure out to add to sample_multi_transcode noGPB (regular P frames) in HEVC Software encoding mode

I tryed to follow sample_encode that have the noGPB option but it dont work

Can someone show me some code examples for sample_multi_transcode? I want to use for transcoding with sample_multi_transcode because

it are more fast for encoding than sample_encode, sample_encode need read from disk the YUV data

Regards

Hi,

We are using the 15dd936825ad475ea34e35f3f54217a6 plugin DLL(mfxplugin64_hevcd_sw.dll) to decode HEVC in both MFX_PLUGINID_HEVCD_HW and MFX_PLUGINID_HEVCD_SW modes.

The MFX_PLUGINID_HEVCD_HW works fine, but when running on a machine without HW capabilities, or manually selecting that mode in our product we observe a memory leak.

We have tried with DLL from Server Studio 2017 and 2017R3 release with same result. 

The test is running 8 fullHD streams HEVC and decoding keyframes only. When decoding all the stream the memory leak is more visible faster.

Hardware:
CPU: i7-7700K
Intel HD Graphics 630 driver: 22.20.16.4815
mfxplugin64_hevcd_sw.dll DLL versions tried:
  -Product version: 1.17.6.34
  -Product version: 1.19.7.45
both versions have the memory leak.
 

Please let me know if you need more information.

Hi,

I am facing an issue when running the samples test examples for MediaServerStudioEssentials2017R3 on  @ Ubuntu 16.04.1  kernel 4.10.0-42-generic

Hello,

I've upgraded an old I7 4770K system with a I7 6700 and i got a issue when encoding video using Media SDK 

[URL=http://www.image-share.com/ijpg-3653-147.html][IMG]http://www.image-shar...

The image resolution is 512x512 - 8bits encoded from YUV in AVC file.

Tried : update media SDK (2013 -> 2017)

update drivers

changing CPU (i7 7700)

How could i correct this?

Thank you.

Hey

I wanna know if its possible to add cropping function to sample_multi_transcode like crop top and botton, can someone show some code?

Regards

I'm currently decoding interlaced H264 video and I'm finding that each field is producing one frame. The frames are full resolution but data is missing from the even/odd lines (depending on whether it's MFX_PICTYPE_TOPFIELD or MFX_PICTYPE_BOTTOMFIELD).

Am I responsible for combining these frames together before calling any deinterlacing post processing functions? All other decoders I've tried produce and output frame that already has the fields combined.

I am trying to find some way to detect (monitor) how much of the "Intel HD/Iris Graphics" GPU resources are currently being used up by QuickSync encoding applications.  I need to do it on Intel E3 server systems, running Windows 2012 Server.

I had tried using the Intel PAL (Intel Metrics Framework) for detecting this, but that only seems to work on Windows 8/10.  Not on Windows Server.

Looking for some API or library that I can use to get this information..

Any suggestions???

Hi

I am using the simple_8_composite_vmem sample provided by Sravanthi K at Intel.

composite.InputStream[0].DstX = (mfxU32)0;

composite.InputStream[0].DstY = (mfxU32)0;

composite.InputStream[0].DstW = (mfxU32)720;

composite.InputStream[0].DstH = (mfxU32)576;

composite.InputStream[1].DstX = (mfxU32)0; //Co-ordinates for where the second stream should go on the output surface

composite.InputStream[1].DstY = (mfxU32)0;

composite.InputStream[1].DstW = (mfxU32)720;

composite.InputStream[1].DstH = (mfxU32)576;

composite.InputStream[1].LumaKeyEnable = true;

composite.InputStream[1].LumaKeyMin = 200;

composite.InputStream[1].LumaKeyMax =255;

I have change the values of each surface to 720 x 576 and enabled LumaKeyEnable and set LumaKeyMin and LumaKeyMax.

I have attached the input frames I have used and the resultant output frame.

There is little information on this within the documentation and the resultant frame is not correct.

Thanks for your help in advance,

Kevin

I'am unable to intall Intel® Media Server Studio 2017 R3 on Windows 10 due to integrity checking error. I downloaded MediaServerStudioEssentials2017R3.exe three times but I always got same error on installation:

Intel® Media Server Studio 2017 R3 – Essentials Edition Setup Wizard ended prematurely because of an error(s).

Details->Integrity checking failed->Source file is incorrect->docs.zip

How can I avoid the issue to install Intel® Media Server Studio 2017 R3?

Hi,

I am trying to convert RGB24 to NV12 by using VPP before encoding to h264. Input source is VGA(640x480) resolution and initializing VPP ends up with allocating about 50MB memory. I would like to know if there are any ways to save memory.

Thanks

Hi,

Are there any applications that can take a H.264 stream, decode it using Intel Media SDK and play that decoded file (.yuv file that has frames). The OS is Ubuntu 16.04

Thanks

I am developing screen capture App using QSV and ffmpeg 

My app create MP4(h.264) file well,

but when I play Mp4 file..the result is bad .. like below

Did I do something wrong or setup up Encoding parameters , VPP paremeters badly?

Anyone help me please..

Hi

I have wasted another week trying to get this to work. I have attached the sample code I am using and images with the resultant output. I have also attached my system analyser output.

As far as I can see from the limited samples and documentation, LumaKeyEnable does not work and is broken. If you are able to let me know if this is a bug then can you suggest a work-around or how I could implement a more useful ChromaKey functionality in hardware? I am on a tight schedule and need to deliver my project.

Thanks,

Kind regards

Kevin
