hardware acceleration for nvidia gpu

Postby adamf663 » Fri Jan 25, 2019 5:33 pm

I have been unable to get hardware acceleration working.
My video card is new and supports cuda: MSI nVidia GeForce GT440 1GB DDR3 VGA/DVI/HDMI Low Profile PCI-Express Video Card N440GT-MD1GD3/LP .

Xeoma version:
18.11.21

uname -a:
Linux desktop 4.15.0-43-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 6 14:45:28 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Has nobody ever seen hardware acceleration work?

Hello! I'm afraid you won't be able to use this model for hardware acceleration under Linux, since it does not fit the minimal requirements.
While the card does support CUDA and it is technically possible to use for decoding, the load balancing makes it rather ineffective. The difference in CPU load would be neglectably small.

I think that minimal requirements link was incorrect. It points me to a page I've already seen with a 'hardware acceleration' topic that isn't a link.
The sum total requirements mentioned are:

the preview stream (the first URL in the module) needs to be of at least HD quality (720p or 1280×720) – otherwise, acceleration is counter-productive;
the GPU itself should be at least Nvidia GeForce 400 series or higher (for Linux: GeForce GTX 750, GTX 900 or higher).

An ASUS GeForce GT 1030 doesn't qualify? (I think I reported incorrectly the video card although nvidia-smi reported it correctly._)

I'm having the same problem, my Xeoma is running in Linux as well with a GTX 960 available and even though I believe I've met the criteria of having HD preview stream it is still not using hardware acceleration.

Hello!
This has been fixed quite recently, you may want to send us an e-mail ([url]https://felenasoft.com/xeoma/en/contacts/[/url]) requesting the newest beta or wait for the official release.
