QSV Support removed in latest nightlies?

[spycrab101]

As far as I know there was problems with QSV (Quick Sync) in 2.1 according to this thread : https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=113579 and now it appears to be removed from the latest builds. Is this just a temporary thing? This is a feature I am most looking forward to as it means I can do higher quality streams without the high power consumption.

I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this, thanks.

latest NB are not always with latest contribs. So this is normal.

And use 32bits release, where QSV works.

QSV settings menu is not in any of the latest 32bit builds. up to vlc-2.2.0-git-20130929-1457, Can you confirm?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Use the RELEASE, as I said.

Use the RELEASE, as I said.

Release version has problems with QSV encoding/streaming hence I was inquiring about nightlies. From your response it seems like QSV not being included NB is just temporary. So I'll keep checking from time to time.

What problems?

What problems?

I made a video that shows my stream not working on 2.1.0 (qsv disabled, qsv supported) while working fine on 2.2.0 (qsv not supported)

as of vlc-2.1.1-20131011-0202 qsv is back and streaming is working (unlike 2.1.0 above) however no video when set to venc=qsv

Code: Select all

main debug: looking for encoder module matching "qsv": 17 candidates main debug: Buffering 51% qsv error: No hardware implementation found and software mode disabled main debug: no encoder modules matched stream_out_transcode error: cannot find video encoder (module:qsv fourcc:h264). Take a look few lines earlier to see possible reason. main debug: removing module "avcodec" avcodec debug: ffmpeg codec (MPEG-1/2 Video) stopped stream_out_transcode error: cannot create video chain main error: cannot create packetizer output (mpgv)

Does VLC support Intel SDK API HW 1.4? As that's all my CPU supports.

As said above, the qsv is not in the nightly builds.

As said above, the qsv is not in the nightly builds.

yeah you are correct it seems libqsv_plugin.dll was left over from my 2.1.0 release, sorry.
