Hi all,

I am using MediaServerStudioEssentials2017R3 on CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core).

I am able to run sample decode applicaition with -sw but getting error with -hw option.

Any help will be appreciated. Please check below snapshot for logs.

Hi Ankit, 

Do other codecs like mpeg2 or HEVC work well in hw mode on your machine?

Best wishes, 

Anna

Hi,

JPEG also doesn't work with -hw.

And h265 doesn't work with sw as well.

Thanks,

Ankit

Hi Ankit, 

How did you install Media Server Studio? It seems like you have wrong kernel. You need to install 3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64 kernel. 

That's expected that h265 doesn't work in -sw mode, because sw implementation is available only in Intel(R) Media Server Studio Professional Edition (you have Essentials edition).

Best wishes,

Anna
