Warning "using software encoding" despite "NVIDIA TEST T4" driver #106

Closed thomasnal closed 4 months ago

thomasnal commented 4 months ago

I've used the script provided. It has done all the settings but failed on the Nvidia driver. I am using g4dn.2xlarge instance.

Therefore I downloaded NVIDIA Driver from https://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx?lang=en-us. NVIDIA RTX Series -> NVIDIA T4 -> Windows Server 2022 according to AWS driver matrix.

The driver is installed correctly, listed in Device Manager. The issue is that ParSec on connection shows the warning icon "Using software encoding". When I double check the setting in the ParSec app, it says decoder NVIDIA.

Why is the server not using the hardware decoding when it is properly selected and drivers are correctly installed? How to fix the situation?

Despite the driver showed as correctly installed in the Device Manager, the further experimenting proved that it was not the correct driver. Perhaps not the correct driver that ParSec expected. I have solve the situation by downloading and installing the AWS NVIDIA Gaming optimised drivers from the nvidia-gaming AWS bucket.
