Describe the Bug
The amd_usage function is used to change the encoder preset for AMF encoder. However, this seems to always be stuck on the lowest latency preset, no matter the option being chosen.
Expected Behavior
In 2024.911.215654 ( the latest pre-release I was using and where it worked, don't know when it broke), when the amd_usage option was changed to a slower preset (like low latency instead of ultra low latency), two expected behaviors were observed:
- The encoding latency goes up because the chosen profile is slower
- The GPU usage goes down substantially in encoding, with lower power consumption of the GPU
However, with this pre-release, this is no longer the case, latency doesn't go up and GPU usage doesn't go down, which may indicate that the used profile is not the correct one.
Additional Context
There is in the log a UseLowLatencyInternal: true and EncoderMFLowLatency: false when using the low latency preset which is the second fastest.

I think the reason the latency doesn't go up (and the related aspect of power usage not decreasing) is the changes in 011a872c889999dc2ce8e552488d3d3011426c94. Specifically the part where we added { "latency"s, 1 }, to enable low latency mode in the encoder per AMF_VIDEO_ENCODER_LOWLATENCY_MODE documented here.
I think the profile option does still work, but it's that those particular defaults of your chosen profile are adjusted by AMF_VIDEO_ENCODER_LOWLATENCY_MODE. Codecs will typically try to operate the slowest that they possibly can while still keeping up with the incoming bitstream to be most power-efficient, but low latency mode requests that the codec produce output as fast as possible (with increased power consumption as a likely side-effect).
It's not very clear based on the AMF documentation exactly what "low latency mode in the encoder" actually means, but it may be that there are increases in GPU core clock or increased utilization of compute resources on the GPU to meet those demands.
It probably makes sense to expose this as an option on the AMF Encoder tab. I don't think we ever want to unset it if the profile uses it by default, so it probably makes sense to just expose "enabled" and "profile default" or something like that.
Hi @cgutman Thank you for the detailed answer! Yes, I think that this mode was included and described in the Mesa drivers as a mode where the GPU keeps clock frequency high to reduce encoding latency.
Is there any possibility to include the change you just proposed? Just another option in the menu to turn off this AMF_VIDEO_ENCODER_LOWLATENCY_MODE? The two options you propose seem reasonable for me as the ultra low latency profile in AMF already had this behaviour before the changes in 011a872.
Thank you again.
