Unsolved QT multimedia hardware acceleration on Intel
-
Hi,
we are trying to confirm if hardware acceleration is missing, not enabled, ... on our app stack.Our stack is : Ubuntu 16.04, running QT 5.7.0, compiled for GStreamer 1.0, low end Intel CPU, using NVIDIA NVS510 card, and NVIDIA nvidia-367 driver (apt-get install nvidia-367).
It all runs ok, except high CPU usage.
According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GStreamer, GStreamer 1.0 supports hardware acceleration (VDPAU and VAAPI).
See vdpauinfo / vainfo command output below.Our hope was that by compiling QT5.7.0 for GStreamer 1.0 we will get hardware acceleration. Naive :) ?
Question: Can / how hardware acceleration be enabled on our spp stack.
