OBS branch with AMD VCE support.

Um don't get me wrong, but why would he deserve a mod status?! o_O
It's cool what he does with VCE and all that but how does that makes me deserve the mod status??
Is he activly moderating other spots of the forum or something i don't know about?

Well they need some sort of icon, Maybe a Dev icon on the forums? I dont know, this will help people highlight posts from the Devs :) just saying.

either way, I'm excited to try this when I get home. Did anyone verify the compatability with Win7 64? I know there were certain issues with the MSVC120D.dll file or whatever...

A tag of some sort makes sense, but adding him to the Moderator crew is non-sense :P

The dll issue is fixed since yesterday, but i sadly can't confirm that it's working on Win7. Can all be read on the last page.

Did you stop streaming/recording and then crashed? Looks like OBS hit debug break in Stop() function. It was caused by encode thread not quitting before 30 second timeout, hmm.


E: For some reason AMF seems to pass OpenCL buffer to VCE by converting it to D3D11 resource or something. Eh?

Ah, maybe that is the wrong log... Probably it is, sorry. I remember now that I was streaming afterwards... :-(
Anyways, if I'll meet that error again, I'll report instantly.
I was playing counter-strike: go.

Pretty much the same code as the debug build, just in release now: 32bit, 64bit

I'll try make some space for win7 install :P

I was just going to post "get AMF working on Win7 already :P" but then i had an interesting happening.
When i tried the "new" build it didn't instantly crashed while using AMF but took a bit longer til the bitrate started going.

The interesting part though is that it didn't crashed because of d3d11.dll, but the OBS.exe itself (according to windows)
Still al ot of "Failed to create D3D11 texture." according to the main log.

This crash appears to have occured in the 'c:\users\olivermd\desktop\obsvce_2014-09-08\obs.exe' module.

Same problem as olivermd on Win7 x64. Instantly crashes and log says failed to create d3d11 texture.

Valve just updated Steam beta to include in-home streaming using VCE.
most of the time but quality sucked (speed preset I'd assume).
Bitrate was no more that 6mbps and it seemed to use VBR.

Off Topic: In case anyone cares, Valve put out a new Steam Beta where they updated In-Streaming with VCE.

In-Home Streaming

• Improved AMD hardware encoding quality

I'm upgrading with 8.1 right now to keep with the times. I looked through some of your code and saw a lot that was talking about windows 8.1 only with stuff so I bit the bullet and bought it.

 

[Scyna]

any idea why i get this message when i stream with amd 290? its been slowly increasing. I have been streaming for 3 hours.

• Max keyframe interval is currently at 18.0 seconds. Please set it to 2 seconds.

what do you have your idr set to under vce settings? Should be double your fps

 

[Scyna]

idr is 96 since i stream at 48fps

 

[dping]

idr is 96 since i stream at 48fps

well its set right. @jackun any reason why after a while the key frames would spread out so far?

(temp account :P)
Uh, ofcourse DXGI_FORMAT_NV12 is not supported on on Win7 :P

Hmm, @dping i've just done few short test recordings. @Scyna got a link or recorded video?

Windows 9 coming this month on the 30th. With a start menu.

And still you should avoid the new Windows "9" for the first year because it will be filled with bugs and driver issues, trust me if you want to upgrade to the new windows wait at least half a year propably to be on safer side wait for one full year.

 

[OliverMD]

So no OBS+AMF on Win7 or what? No idea but Valve got it somehow running too and this Splashtop thing i guess.
I know I'm smartassing too much right now with my "superficial knowledge" sorry :P

This^ - Pretty much the basic rule for a new OS.
To make it short: Win8 is trash in my eyes and many others and the "good, bad" statistic doesn't matter after Win8.

NOW i think we should go back to the main topic of this thread before it derails too much.

 

[jackun]

@OliverMD nope ;) (as in, yes, should work on win7 too)

2014-09-10 AMF: Using host memory for surfaces (and looks like dx9 interop): 32bit, 64bit.
But setting AMF's "EngineType" property to 1 seems to make AMF use DX9. Anyway, taskmanager doesn't show weird memory fluctuations so that is nice.

 

[paspartu]

tested build 2014-09-10 AMF
since I am not strong in English, all in the screenshots :)

Nah I don't have a recorded video. I took archive videos off. It doesn't happen for a while. I did notice during it that the green bar in obs turned red at one point.
