ffmpeg 6 using qsv on ARC380

[s7mon]

Hi, i have recently got a ARC for video encoding to AV1. I got it working so far and using VAAPI encoding works fine. It is not the main GPU on the system so i need to set the QSV device manually (works also for VAAPI) When i try to use QSV it fails on ffmpeg -loglevel verbose -i test.mp4 -qsv_device /dev/dri/renderD129 -c:v h264_qsv -global_quality 18 -rdo 1 -preset:v slow -y output.mp4 with output [AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x559be3d16d00] libva: VA-API version 1.19.0 [AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x559be3d16d00] libva: User requested driver 'iHD' [AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x559be3d16d00] libva: Trying to open /usr/lib64/va/drivers/iHD_drv_video.so [AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x559be3d16d00] libva: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_19 [AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x559be3d16d00] libva: va_openDriver() returns 0 [AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x559be3d16d00] Initialised VAAPI connection: version 1.19 [AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x559be3d16d00] VAAPI driver: Intel iHD driver for Intel(R) Gen Graphics - 23.3.2 ().

Do i have an error in how i prepare the command for hardware use?

Sorry not sure why formating was broken - seems my regular browser (firefox) does not work well here.

I can run oneVPL sample decode and clinfo looks good as well. Do i have an error in how i prepare the command for hardware use?

Hi,

Thanks for providing the information.

We are checking on this internally. We will get back to you soon with an update.

Hi,

We have escalated your issue to the development team, and they require the following details for further analysis:

a) The reason for explicitly setting to qsv_device renderD129.

b) Confirmation on whether this device is supported by ffmpeg or not.

Regards,

Thasneem Vazim

[s7mon]

Sure

a) i am setting the device directly as it is currently not the default graphics card in that system.

b)  I use the same approach with VAAPI (instead of QSV) to select the device which works.
It is also documented here at the end of the transcoding section
trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Hardware/QuickSync 
trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/7649 

best regards

using this commit lavu/hwcontext_qsv: use mfxImplDescription instead of mfxExtendedDevi…  
i was able to use qsv and have the session created and convert to mp4 or av1 using the commands above.

I assume it will be merged to mainline somehow and therefore see it fixed.

Thanks for the support
