[BUG] GPU codecs unsupported

Closed this issue 2 months ago · 5 comments

Describe the bug
For any tried GPU encoding codec, Error: your gpu does not support 'CODEC' video codec error is returned.

To Reproduce
WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1 gpu-screen-recorder -k h264 -w screen -f 60 -o test.mp4

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Wayland
Desktop environment/Window Manager: weston
Distro: Arch
GPU: Intel Arc A380
Version (latest flatpak version, aur or source): Tried both Aur, Source build and Flatpak, all face same issue.

Additional context
Back at it again, though this time using Arch, vainfo lists encoders just fine so not sure what's going on 😅

vainfo: VA-API version: 1.22 (libva 2.22.0)

Also DRM info this time from beginning, physical display connected this time so no odd hackery going on :)

VAEntrypointEncSliceLP

Seems like your gpu only supports low power encoding mode which gpu screen recorder doesn't support. I haven't seen any other gpu that only supports low power encoding mode (not even other intel arc gpus) and I dont have any gpu that supports low power encoding mode so I cant test it myself.
I can try adding support for it if you can test it. (since you know how to build gpu screen recorder from source).

Answer 2 · 2024-10-01T16:35:16.000Z

I pushed changes to allow low power mode now, can you do git pull in the gpu screen recorder repository and run sudo ./install.sh and then:

gpu-screen-recorder --info

and post the terminal output here. If it output includes "h264" in that terminal output can you then run these commands after each other and let it record for 1 second and check that the video looks fine (with mpv) after each command:

gpu-screen-recorder -w screen -f 60 -k h264 -o video.mp4
gpu-screen-recorder -w screen -f 60 -k hevc -o video.mp4
gpu-screen-recorder -w screen -f 60 -k av1 -o video.mp4
gpu-screen-recorder -w screen -f 60 -k vp9 -o video.mp4
gpu-screen-recorder -w screen -f 60 -k hevc_10bit -o video.mp4
gpu-screen-recorder -w screen -f 60 -k av1_10bit -o video.mp4
gpu-screen-recorder -w screen -f 60 -k h264 -cr full -o video.mp4

and also this command:

gpu-screen-recorder -w screen -f 60 -k hevc_hdr -o video.mp4

but upload the video.mp4 file here, thanks!

Hm, I'll look at your commit changes to see if I spot something myself in the source I can quickly edit to test, so far no luck:

UPDATE: False alarm, looks like the install.sh doesn't install in right location for Arch? I ran the binary from build directory to get this:

The changes work from my quick testing, feel free to close if you deem the videos worthy of it :)

Massive thanks for quick for once again as well 🙏

The gsr binaries that yay installed went into /usr/local/bin/ while the build installed them into /usr/bin/, just replaced the local ones with built ones - reminder for myself and anyone who may happen to stumble here.

Answer 5 · 2024-10-01T19:11:16.000Z

Thanks! i'll push the change to aur now. The videos had the correct data.
