Hello, i'm trying to encode to HEVC GPU ACC with lookahead (la_ext ) plugin included wth Intel Meda SDK 2018 R1 and in release notes sayd

this about the HEVC GPU ACC

Version 1.15.3.62   MAIN 10 and MAIN 10 422 range extension profile support added.

 Look Ahead feature implementation added. 

     Added support for Extended Look Ahead plugin, featuring analyses for before encode or VPP session, and reuse analyses data for several encoding sessions in multi-session scenario, so significantly decreases memory utilization and improves performance. 

Extended look Ahead plugin added API support for B-pyramid analyses. 

TU4 support added featuring middle range encode quality/performance optimization.  

For general performance vs bitrates savings please check HEVC Whitepaper on Product web page.

How can i trascode with la_ext enabled? Can show me some command line options example for sample_multi_transcode?

I Always get this error
