MFX_IMPL_AUTO_ANY does not select hardware, altough it is available

[boukhalfa__zakaria]

I have a machine, where MFX_IMPL_AUTO_ANY does not select the hardware,
although it is available. After a call to MFXQueryIMPL() I get SOFTWARE selected.
When I choose as init MFX_IMPL_HARDWARE_ANY, it works, I get as return HARDWARE_ANY selected.

Here the test case code:

#include <mfxvideo++.h>
#include <iostream>

static const char* implementation_names[] = {
    "AUTO", "SOFTWARE", "HARDWARE", "AUTO_ANY", "HARDWARE_ANY", "HARDWARE2",
    "HARDWARE3", "HARDWARE4", "RUNTIME"
};

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    MFXVideoSession session;

    mfxStatus sts;
    mfxIMPL impl = MFX_IMPL_AUTO_ANY;
    mfxVersion version = { { 1, 1 } };

    sts = session.Init(impl, &version);
    sts = MFXQueryIMPL(session, &impl);
    sts = MFXQueryVersion((mfxSession)session, &version);
    std::cout << implementation_names[MFX_IMPL_BASETYPE (impl)] << " selected" << std::endl;

    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

Here the output of the tested machine:

Hi Zack, 

Can you provide details on CPU, OS and the MSS Version you are using? 

Regards,

Stav

@Stav

these details are all provided with the MSDK analyzer output, which I attached above.
