Hi Jackhong, 

  • After "Installed Media SDK packages (be patient...processing takes some time)", system looks for installed MFT and DirectShow filters. There is a known limitation mentioned in the readme file - "The tool may not be able to provide a full report in case Microsoft* Windows* Management Instrumentation (WMI) service is not running. If you encounter this issue, please explore if it is possible to activate this feature via Microsoft Windows Control Panel settings on your machine." Can you please make sure you are not seeing it because of the same reason. 
  • The System analyzer is not updated till latest API i.e.1.16 due to which it shows uptill 1.8, this issue should be resolved in the next release. 
  • The only time I have across this issue is when machine has multiple Media SDK version installed. Can you please make sure your machine has only latest version or can you test this on a different machine for sanity purpose. If you still see this issue, please let us know what version of Media SDK are you using. We had a similar issue in the past but that issue is fixed in recent releases. 

Thanks,
Surbhi

Hi Surbhi,

I also have the third issue. There is no tracer.log output from tracer.exe. My platform has only latest version of media sdk. The tracer.exe is from media_sdk_6.0.0.349 under Intel INDE 2015 Update 2. The encode sample I use is from sample_encode folder under Intel Media Samples 6.0.0.68.

Thanks,

James

Hi James,

Thanks for providing the details. What I see on the system is that I do get tracer.log but it doesn't capture the full details. my output file is located at <C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Intel\SDK_Tracer\tracer.log>. may be you can search tracer.log under your C:\ folder.
Is it possible for you to test this on any other machine? I couldn't get my hands on the exact same configuration, if you can look on couple more configuration preferably 4th generation it will give us a good idea.

Thanks,
Surbhi
