Synology strange QSV behaviour

slanglade opened this issue · comments

Hi,

I've got a DS220+ with a celeron J4025. It is supposed to support hardware encoding of H264 and H265.

First of all, every time an encoding task starts, it reports full support for QSV :

[10:39:44] CPU: Intel(R) Celeron(R) J4025 CPU @ 2.00GHz

[10:39:44]  - H.264 encoder: yes

[10:39:44]     - capabilities (hardware):  breftype icq+la+i+downs vsinfo opt1 opt2+mbbrc+extbrc+trellis+ib_adapt+nmpslice
[10:39:44]  - H.265 encoder: yes (8bit: yes, 10bit: yes)
[10:39:44]     - preferred implementation: hardware (any) via ANY
[10:39:44]     - capabilities (hardware):  lowpower bpyramid icq vsinfo opt1

The sample source movie is encoded like this (but the behaviour is the same with all video source I tried) :

Only H264 constant qualiy or single pass constant bitrate are working. If I try, with the very same source movie, I get :

  • H264 constant bitrate with 2 passes : first pass ok, then "qsv_enc_init: MFXVideoENCODE_Init failed (-16)" when second pass starts+ container insta-kill
  • H265 any parameter set (constant bitrate or quality, single or two passes) : "encqsvInit: MFXVideoENCODE_Init failed (-3)", the job fails gracefuly without any gui or container being killed.

More details follows :

H264 constant bitrate with 2 passes

The first pass works ok, but the second pass fails with the container failing and restarting

Can you try the latest image to see if it's better ?

I just tried this on 1.6.1 (h265 QSV, VBR 2-pass encoding, 6000kbps bitrate) and I have exactly the same problem. I also have a Synology with a slightly different CPU: J4125. I am also using the lowpower=0 workaround, otherwise the encoding doesn't start at all:

Hi,

Latest version can't use QSV anymore for me : h264 single pass is now failing with "MFXVideoEncode_init failed (-15)". If I remove the container and the latest image, and recreate using v1.25.1 image, it works again.

Two side notes :

  • the new control tab on the left + full size UI is great !
  • for a strange reason, I have to change my group_id from 100 ('users' on DSM 7.1) to 101 (admin) when trying the latest image. Otherwise it fails with a strange "grp100 doesn't exists". It looks like it doesn't like me speciying the same group id that is uses by default. Again, no problem with v1.25.1

Is there a way to have a more verbose output for the intel drive part ?

I am also using the lowpower=0 workaround, otherwise the encoding doesn't start at all

Yeah, it seems that the workaround might still be needed.

Note that HandBrake 1.6 still has issues with QSV:

HandBrake/HandBrake#4768

You are not alone, see the issue I linked in my previous comment.

Thanks! It's always appreciated to have positive feedback !

This will be fixed in next version of the image.

Sorry for the delay. Indeed the QSV status for handbrake (particulary on older CPU version) seems to be cahotic.

After upgrading to latest image, I did the following :

  • Create a /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf file (on NAS itself), containing "i915.enable_guc=2", to be sure GuC/HuC firmware is enabled (cf https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/intel_graphics)
  • Add lowpower=0 in advanced video settings in handbrake

I can then encode using h264 or h265, single pass only. If I try two passes, the container crash and reboot instantly when the second pass starts.

Edit: in fact, the i915 config file is totally useless. The dmesg still show messages stating "no huc or guc firmware", so I guess we're stuck with lowpower=0 ?

So Iet's wait for a better Handbrake release regarding this problem.

PS : no more problem with "group_id=100" !
