Hi,

I've been trying to install the Media SDK on a Ubuntu 18.04.1 machine without any luck.

uname -a

Linux 4.15.0-44-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 14 11:26:59 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

cat /proc/cpuinfo

Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1225 v5 @ 3.30GHz

So without touching the machine after a fresh install I SSH to it and run my script. The script is divided into two phases with a reboot after the first script.(the scripts are included in the zip file )->

#!/bin/bash
set -e

#Ensure the platform is up to date

Everything compiles and installs however when trying to decode using the included sample decoder.. I get this Error->

[ERROR], sts=MFX_ERR_MEMORY_ALLOC(-4), main, Pipeline.Init failed at /home/netinsight/vaapi/msdk/samples/sample_decode/src/sample_decode.cpp:676

So obviously the Media SDK is not working as expected. Has anyone successfully installed the Media SDK on a Ubuntu 18.04.1? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any assistance.

Hi Anders,

It looks like you are trying to build the Open Source Media SDK, on Ubuntu 18.04 and E3-1225 v5(SkyLake). I think this configuration should be qualified for the system requirement.

From the output error message, the installation should be OK because it failed at memory allocation. How do you get the input file? As you know we required elementary stream. If you have the sample binary, the quick try is to use the test video clip in the binary. You can find it in the following way:

1. Download the binary package from the release page: https://github.com/Intel-Media-SDK/MediaSDK/releases

2. Unzip the package and you will find a "tests" folder, the video should be in ~/tests/content.

You can use the file "test_stream.264" to replace your original file to see if you can run it successfully.

Mark

cedronius__anders · ‎01-30-2019

Mark,

Thank you for the quick responce. I did download the binary and locate the "test_stream.264" file.

Then I ran the same command again -> LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/intel/mediasdk/lib /opt/intel/mediasdk/share/mfx/samples/sample_decode h264 -i test_stream.264 -o out.yuv

However I got the same output ->

[ERROR], sts=MFX_ERR_MEMORY_ALLOC(-4), CreateAllocator, CreateHWDevice failed at /home/netinsight/vaapi/msdk/samples/sample_decode/src/pipeline_decode.cpp:1282

[ERROR], sts=MFX_ERR_MEMORY_ALLOC(-4), Init, CreateAllocator failed at /home/netinsight/vaapi/msdk/samples/sample_decode/src/pipeline_decode.cpp:425

[ERROR], sts=MFX_ERR_MEMORY_ALLOC(-4), main, Pipeline.Init failed at /home/netinsight/vaapi/msdk/samples/sample_decode/src/sample_decode.cpp:676

I Think there is something more fundamentally wrong with the installation since vainfo returns a lot of errors. But I don't know where to start looking.

/Anders

Mark_L_Intel1 · ‎01-30-2019

Yes, from the output vainfo, it tells me it doesn't connect to the i915 driver.

Did you set the followings?

export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD

export LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri

You can also refer to my article at the following URL for how to validate the build/installation:

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/build-and-debug-open-source-media-stack

This article also tells you what the expected output of vainfo.

cedronius__anders · ‎01-31-2019

Hi,

Found the problem. It was a setting in my system, a BIOS setting suppressing the Intel graphics in favour for some on board VGA graphics card. I did also modify my script including the current (hopefully working) commit hashes. The script installs Intel Media SDK and all dependencies on a fresh installed Ubuntu 18.04.1 Server.

Step 1.

Install Ubuntu 18.04.1

Step 2.

Log in and run ->

sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade && sudo apt -y dist-upgrade

Step 3.

Reboot by typing -> sudo reboot now

Step 4.

Copy the below script to your local machine and name it 'install_msdk.sh' then send it to the home directory (Or any other) on the MSDK machine by for example using scp

scp install_msdk.sh (your user)@(the server ip):~/.

OBSERVE!!!!!! you need to make one modification. the line where it says *sudo usermod -a -G video (Your User)*

you need to enter your user so if your user is: megadeveloper the line should read: sudo usermod -a -G video megadeveloper

step 5.

Login to your MSDK machine after the reboot.

Ping the machine by -> ping (ip)

To see when you can login again

step 6.

make the script executable by ->

chmod +x install_msdk.sh

then

./install_msdk.sh

sudo reboot now

Login to your MSDK machine after the reboot.

Done!

Verify by downloading the file test_stream.264 (see marks comment above -> )->

(The location of the file is : MediaStack/opt/intel/mediasdk/share/mfx/samples/_bin/content)

Execute the below line where you did put the 'test_stream.264' file

I tried the steps you have listed, and they all worked fine except the libdrm had to be built by meson since there was no autogen.sh. Rest all flowed smoothy.

However, after running the sample_decode command, I get this error: Could you pls let me know what could be wrong, or any other information I need to provide:
