Hardware transcoding stopped working with QuickSync (VAAPI) on an Intel iGPU (Intel NUC)

@Mothy_Tim

Thanks @ChuckPa and sorry its taken a while to get back to you! Over the last couple of weeks I’ve noticed that some files do use QSV to transcode, so after experimenting I’ve worked out that it only has an issue with 4K HDR files!

CORRECT!

We withdrew 1.32.6 and 1.32.7 because of the QSV problem.
Nvidia is not impacted.

We are iterating down through the pieces which make QSV HDR tone mapping work and are just about there (where the problem appears to be).

At this point, we know what it isn’t and there’s not must left to double check.

For now, 1.32.5.7349 is viable for you to use (on the downloads page)

PMS 1.32.6+ HW transcoding issues and corrections

PMS 1.32.6+ HW transcoding issues and corrections. ALL: We’re really sorry. We missing a whopping fault in PMS. Specifically, we missed a change which broke HW tone mapping support on Linux platforms. ( that’s what I get for sleeping from 4am → 6am ) Where we’re at We’ve got the fault isolated down to a few changes which broke things and are now walking through those source code changes line-by-line again. We will get there as this is a “When” problem and not an “I…

This is where we’ll bring the Forum Preview of packages which restore functionality.
