Older AMF runtime relies on AMD Pro Vulkan driver for many things including encoder. The message says that AMF cannot initialize this Vulkan driver. Verbose output from FFmpeg will provide AMF logs with more details but in the essence this Vulkan driver is not properly installed. Note, that AMF encoder would also need matching VCN firmware and Vulkan Pro driver may have own dependencies.
I know it's probably not directly supported, but any general advice would be helpful.
I am trying to install AMF transcoding support into NixOS. I installed this AMF stuff and compiled ffmpeg with the
--enable-amf
flag, and it compiled fine, but I'm getting this error:Now I looked at the driver directory for the amdgpu-pro, and there exists a
libamfrt64.so.0
file, which looks similar, so I copied all the files outta that folder and placed them into my home directory, symlinkedlibamfrt64.so.0
tolibamfrt64.so.1
and pointed the ld library path variable to that folder. Then i got the the equally frustrating error of:AMF failed to initialise on the given Vulkan device: 1
.The amdgpu-pro version appears to be
21.30
