• Error while using h264_cuvid decoder with ffmpeg

  8 octobre 2023, par tthibalti

  I am trying to decode a video using the NVIDIA cuvid hardware acceleration with ffmpeg.

  


  I am using a NVIDIA GeForce GT 745M Graphics card (GPU:GK107), which is compatible with cuvid as specified by NVIDIA here

  


  I compiled ffmpeg with the following flags :

  


  ./configure --enable-cuda --enable-nvenc --enable-cuvid


  


  Then, I used ffmpeg with the following command line :

  


  ffmpeg.exe -hwaccel cuvid -c:v h264_cuvid -i video.mkv video.mkv


  


  ffmpeg finishes and seems to be unable to open cuvid functions :

  


  Cannot load cuvidGetDecoderCaps
[h264_cuvid @ 07047b80] Failed loading nvcuvid.
Stream mapping:
  Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (h264 (h264_cuvid) -> h264 (libx264))
  Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (ac3 (native) -> vorbis (libvorbis))
  Stream #0:3 -> #0:2 (subrip (srt) -> ass (ssa))
Error while opening decoder for input stream #0:0 : Unknown error occurred


  


  In ffmpeg source code, I can find out that this error message is printed by the following macro :

  


  #define LOAD_SYMBOL(fun, tp, symbol)                                \
    do {                                                            \
        if (!((f->fun) = (tp*)dlsym(f->lib, symbol))) {             \
            av_log(NULL, AV_LOG_ERROR, "Cannot load %s\n", symbol); \
            ret = AVERROR_UNKNOWN;                                  \
            goto error;                                             \
        }                                                           \
        av_log(NULL, AV_LOG_TRACE, "Loaded sym: %s\n", symbol);     \
    } while (0)


  


  Which is called by :

    LOAD_SYMBOL(cuvidDestroyVideoParser, tcuvidDestroyVideoParser, "cuvidDestroyVideoParser");

    GENERIC_LOAD_FUNC_FINALE(cuvid);
}


  


  Does anybody know if a specific file is needed by cuvid to load its functions ?
Any clue to what is wrong here ?

  


• Desktop grabbing with FFmpeg at 60 fps using NVENC codec

  30 avril 2023, par Akatosh

  I'm having trouble recording my desktop at 60FPS using the latest Windows compiled FFmpeg with NVENC codec. Metadata says the file is 60 fps but when I play it, I can see clearly see it is not 60FPS.

  



  The command-line I use is the following :

  



  ffmpeg -y -rtbufsize 2000M -f gdigrab -framerate 60 -offset_x 0 -offset_y 0 -video_size 1920x1080 -i desktop -c:v h264_nvenc -preset:v fast -pix_fmt nv12 out.mp4


  



  I tried using a real time buffer, using another DirectShow device, changing the profile or forcing a bitrate, but the video always seems to be at 30fps.

  



  Recording the screen using NVIDIA's ShadowPlay works well, so I know it's feasible on my machine.

  



  Using FFprobe to check the ShadowPlay's output file I can see :

  



  


  Stream #0:0(und) : Video : h264 (High) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p(tv,
 smpte170m/smpte170m/bt470m), 1920x1080 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 4573 kb/s,
 59.38 fps, 240 tbr, 60k tbn, 120 tbc (default)

  


  



  But If I force my output to have the same bitrate and profile I get :

  



  


  Stream #0:0(und) : Video : h264 (High) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p,
 1920x1080 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 5519 kb/s, 60 fps, 60 tbr, 15360 tbn,
 120 tbc (default)

  


  



  I can see tbr and tbn are different, so I know my output is duplicating frames.

  



  For testing, all of my recordings had this 60 frame rate test page on the background, and I could clearly see the differences.

  



  I know ShadowPlay probably does a lot more under the hood than FFmpeg using the same codec. I know OBS can do it quite easily but I want to understand what I am doing wrong. Maybe it's some FFmpeg limitation ?

  



  Full console output

  



  Using -v trace command :

• Manually generate "empty" h264 p-frame

  9 août, par leavittx

  Let's call a p-frame frame empty if it doesn't change any pixels in the currently decoded video (i.e. no motion vectors, nothing).

  



  What I need is to be able to manually insert empty p-frame into the video stream on request (need to send frames to the streaming client with a constant framerate, however the frame source on the streaming server can supply frames with a different/lower one).

  



  So I need to be able to correctly form the byte sequence which represents the empty p-frame for the current resolution (I wonder which other parameters could be needed ?)

  



  Ideally, I prefer to have an encoder-independent solution, since I use two different ones : nvenc via Nvidia Video SDK and x264 via FFmpeg.

  



  Where should I look to ?
