Sunshine exiting with Error "Debug: Source format [DXGI_FORMAT_B8G8R8A8_UNORM]"

[Spamm00r]

Hi,

sunshine gives this error and closes immediately when trying to run on Intel(R) HD Graphics 630:

`C:\Temp\MediCenter\Sunshine.Stream>sunshine.exe sunshine.conf [min_log_level] -- [verbose] [sunshine_name] -- Sunshine: Warning: Couldn't setup connection to ViGEm for gamepad support [E0000001]

If a GTX GPU is present, it runs just fine though.

A few days ago, sunshine also ran fine on the Intel(R) HD Graphics 630 only, but now it gives this error and wont start.

What is causing sunshine not to start on Intel(R) HD Graphics 630 anymore?

If you run sunshine with the following:

sunshine.exe sunshine.conf encoder=software

Does it still crash?

[Spamm00r]

No!

With that switch it start using:

WHy is this error occuring and why is it not using hardware accelerated Intel Quick Sync?

[loki-47-6F-64]

Sunshine only support NVidia Encoder and software encoding.

I would need to do some testing to see where it goes wrong precisely, however I suspect it has something to do with the following:

It sees that NVidia drivers are installed, it proceeds to attempt to use them, however, since no NVidia card is available, Sunshine crashes.

When you set the encoder to software, it skips testing for nvenc, which is why it doesn't crash. The only encoders supported are "software" and "nvenc"

Any encoder needs different parameters to function correctly. Which is why any encoder needs to be explicitly supported by Sunshine before it works.

[Spamm00r]

OK. makes sense.

I just disabled the Nvidia GPU to test how it performs with internal GPU only.

This time it gave that error.

But I'm sure, that I tested it the same way some days before and sunshine started on software without any issues, eventhough NVIDIA drivers were present but the Device disabled. Sunshine just used libx264 instead.

[loki-47-6F-64]

Did you make any changes to either Sunshine or the system? (Such as updating Sunshine?)

[Spamm00r]

No. I build it once maybe an week ago. And then didn't touch it.

[loki-47-6F-64]

Sunshine doesn't store any state other than what devices are paired.

If something's different from the last time it was run with that particular setup, then it is not likely to be Sunshine.

It's definitely a bug if it crashes, though.
