GPU rendering doesn't work

[Robin-Sch]

Describe the bug: None of the GPU renders works (GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650)

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Render a video on VA-API, QSV or NVENC
2. see the error

Expected behavior: It should render

System Details:

• OpenShot Version [e.g. 2.4.3]: 2.5.1
• Operating System / Distro: Arch Linux

I can repro this with an Nvidia RTX 2060 on Ubuntu 20.10

Same issue on 21.04 with a GTX 1080.

Same problem with GTX-750ti

[Twenkid]

I also tried QSV again (OpenShot-v2.5.2-release-candidate-6915-f344214c-5487efb2-x86_64.exe) after not using it for a long time, I recently turned on the built-in Intel HD. I have used it in old versions (2.4.x I guess).

Now it seems that after selecting QSV for the output the CPU does the encoding: the speed is the same and the GPU usage shows usage at 0%. The Preferences also display no hardware decode/encode.

I switched to testing a newer version (was with 2.5.1, I don't know which exact built), because after turning-on the Intel HD again, clicking "Preferences" caused a crash of the program.

The same crash happens to me when opening preferences on a Core i5-10400 CPU and Ubuntu 21.04 and OpenShot 2.6.0. I also get "Could not open video codec" when selecting VAAPI or QSV on export. Happens on both XOrg and Wayland.

same error with garuda/linux NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070

[MoonotaurButIknowThePasswordThisTime]

AMD RX5 550 Same issue

[bnounours]

me too with Nvidia GTX 3060 Linux driver 515.48.07

[kerryhatcher]

I believe I have similar problem. Same error messages as OP. Verbose log attached. The version of Openshot 2.6.1 in flathub does render the project but is old and missing the video filter I need for my project.

One interesting bit of data is that when using the NVENC MP4 h.264 target the render appears to start and even process a few frames. See screenshot below.

Latest AppImage build from July 20, 2022, appears to work fine with GPU rendering. So I'd venture to say its some sort of dependency issue.

[Colorjet3]

Here is the answer from the Openshot development team:

• Hardware Acceleration in Windows is supported but limited. Those new settings that you see in the Performance tab are new, experimental, and not fully baked.

• AMD is not yet supported.
• Hardware acceleration is still experimental in OpenShot Video Editor.
• NVIDIA NVENC acceleration is only available in Linux operating systems.
• OpenShot v2.6.0 and later includes Intel® Quick Sync Video encoding in Windows operating systems. If you have a CPU that supports Intel®QSV encoding, you can use the encoder by selecting the ( QSV) MP4 (h.264 qsv) Target on the Export Video window. You do not have to change the Preferences window to use the Intel® QSV encoder."

• Hardware acceleration in OpenShot requires using the proprietary drivers from the distribution package manager instead of the NVIDIA drivers. You cannot use the Nouveau, Xorg, or open-source drivers.

Hardware Acceleration for Windows and AMD has been submitted as an enhancement request.

I still have this issue (all of them) on 3.1.1 with nvidia proprietary drivers on Linux. Only CPU rendering works (well, qsv isn't supposed to work on amd, but the error message could be better. Nvidia encoding should work :( )

I have the same problem on Ubuntu 22.04c running ketnel 6.1 OEM. My system us very stable, no problem for over a year. My Va-api seems happy ;) But activating Va api in OPenshot 2.6 or daily 3.1 doesn t work as of 29 June 2023 :( Its really a great soft, I use it a lot ! WOuld be nice to have va api working under linux . THKS
