Ryzen 5600G only using ff-hevc (sw)

  • Hi,

    I built a new Ryzen 5600g system with the Asus B550i ITX motherboard.

    When I play any file it appears to be using software decoding. Also HDR is not triggering. I’ve pasted a log and was wondering if someone could have a look?

  • I also noticed, when attempting to play a 4K HDR video it will output colors incorrectly. However while playing if i press "\" on the keyboard the video seems to switch resolution / refresh rate and it will prompt to keep the setting. I press no, it then switched resolution / refresh rate back and the video is now outputting correctly in the right colourspace.

    However it still says ff-hevc(sw) is this correct? i thought it would have said ff-hevc (hw)

  • Have you got hardware acceleration checked in LE in the Player section in Settings. Try enabling/disabling it and see what results you get.

    Yeah i do, i checked all that. I just ran VAINFO from the console and it returned this

    Looks like its missing some profiles.

  • atoulmin - what nightly image are you running - it looks like a late October / early November image. Can you please run the most recent - not saying that will fix it. But many changes since then (kernel/mesa/…)
