VAINFO confirms that I have hardware acceleration. But it always get to SW encoding.

April 11, 2024 at 09:43 #47689BritgirlKeymasterPlease check in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu if you have the library libmfxhw64.so – if not please create symbolic link to libmfxhw64.so.1 from a shell with:
cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ sudo ln -s cd libmfxhw64.so.1 libmfxhw64.so
Restart nomachine and try again to see if NoMachine is using Intel’s mfx hardware encoding.
April 12, 2024 at 09:59 #47709taiziccfParticipantI already have it
sudo ln -s libmfxhw64.so.1 libmfxhw64.so
ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘libmfxhw64.so’: File exists
April 12, 2024 at 11:56 #47715BritgirlKeymasterThe next step is to understand if it’s a drivers problem or not. Can you try the package libmfx-tools and encode with its sample encoder? The procedure is here:
https://github.com/Intel-Media-SDK/MediaSDK/wiki/Intel-media-stack-on-Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install libmfx-tools export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD wget https://github.com/lu-zero/fate-samples/raw/master/h264-conformance/AUD_MW_E.264 # Encode H.264 stream w/ Low Power encoder on gen9+ (skl+) /usr/share/mfx/samples/sample_encode h264 \ -w 176 -h 144 -f 30 -cqp -qpi 30 -qpp 30 -qpb 30 -qsv-ff \ -i AUD_MW_E.yuv -o encoded_AUD_MW_E.264

April 12, 2024 at 16:02 #47727BritgirlKeymasterThere is a difference in what is printed in the earlier logs and what is printed in the example procedure (#post-47716).
Logs show:
libva info: VA-API version 1.19.0
libva info: Trying to open /opt/intel/mediasdk/lib64/iHD_drv_video.soYour example:
libva info: VA-API version 1.20.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.soIt’s a different libva version and also a different filepath for the iHD driver.
You should check that you don’t have mixed libva libraries. For example, if you’re using Debian/Ubuntu, from a shell run dpkg -l libva*. What’s the output?
Next, make sure you’re using the iHD driver that is being used in your example, which is
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so
. A quick way to do that is to rename iHD_drv_video.so which is in/opt/intel/mediasdk/lib64/
to something else, for example:cd /opt/intel/mediasdk/lib64/ mv iHD_drv_video.so iHD_drv_video.so.original
and restart NoMachine. Does that help?
April 12, 2024 at 16:26 #47731taiziccfParticipantI had done this
cd /opt/intel/mediasdk/lib64/
mv iHD_drv_video.so iHD_drv_video.so.original
April 12, 2024 at 16:40 #47736taiziccfParticipanti had done the mv iHD_drv_video.so iHD_drv_video.so.original
but still do not have HW encode even after restart the VM.
just to recap, this ubuntu is a VM running in Proxmox with iGPU passthrough, and i can do HW encoding using Handbrake. the iGPU is located at 01:00:0 instead of usual 00:02:0, does this matter?
April 12, 2024 at 17:06 #47740BritgirlKeymasterThe output you pasted show that ihd is still being loaded from /opt/intel/mediasdk/lib64/iHD_drv_video.so. Try restarting nxserver again. Knowing its proxmox can make a difference yes. What’s the exact distro and display manager your replicating?
April 12, 2024 at 17:34 #47747taiziccfParticipantI had just built the new intel/media-driver from github.
this time is version for VA-API 1.22. but still i don’t have HW encoder, although I am still able to transcode video using HWEncoder by handbrake.
I am using Ubuntu Cinnamon 23.10 with x11. (bear in mind previously even with 22.04, 22.10, 21.04 also not having a working NoMachine hardware encoder.)
below latest vainfo show 1.22.
