I'm using the Intel H264 Encoder QuickSync DirectShow filter which is connected to the built-in Windows color space converter DSP (see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ff819079(v=vs.85).aspx). The output of which is compatible with the input of the Intel H264 fiter (NV12).
This works great on machines that have only software support. However, once I try to connect the pins on a machine that supports hardware it fails to connect with an unknown error. I added some tracing to the h264_enc_filter library and found that BreakConnect was called and I see a comment in that function (CEncVideoFilter::BreakConnect): it is not possible to re-use allocator. re-create encoder, new allocator will be provided on connect. I see this case only happens only with hardware support. The graph fails after this point and I am not sure how to get it working.
Is there some piece of code I can look into to see why this happens only on hardware accelerated quicksync devices? This device in particular is an Intel NUC D54250WYK and performs admirably when I don't have to use the color space converter (however in this case I need it since the source filter is outputting RGB24).
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
Ken
