MFX_ERR_UNSUPPORTED when validating video encode parameters

[paniksystem]

Hi,

I compiled the simple_encode_vmem_lowlat tutorial (6) on Ubuntu 20.04 with a G4400 and i get MFX_ERR_UNSUPPORTED on

mfxENC.Query(&mfxEncParams, &mfxEncParams);

Result:

libva info: VA-API version 1.7.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_7
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0

Based on this your configuration doesn`t support VME. I guess that you installed media stack with apt. On ubuntu by default "free" version of the driver is installed which has a limited number of available features.

You can try to install the full feature driver:

sudo apt-get install intel-media-va-driver-non-free

Both drivers are available under the same license. The difference between them is that the "non-free" one contains closed source EU binary shaders.

Additional information about intel media stack on ubuntu can be found here.

Thank you.

This is also happening to me, followed the instructions on msdk ubuntu installation

some info about my system: Ubuntu 22.04, kernel: 5.15.0-56-generic

Here is my vainfo

cpu info:

the error:

ffmpeg error for recipe: sudo ffmpeg -loglevel debug -init_hw_device qsv=hw -filter_hw_device hw -f rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p -s:v 176x144 -i AUD_MW.yuv -vf hwupload=extra_hw_frames=64,format=qsv -c:v h264_qsv -b:v 5M -frames:v 10 -y ./AUD_MW_E.h264

I did have the non-free drivers already installed because of the link I referenced above, so I know its not that.

I am more than happy to give any other information that you find necessary! Thank you.
