compiling ffmpeg from slackware source or Aliens repository-restricted both do not compile nvidia hardware acclerated encoders. There are no nvenc encoders:

Code:

ffmpeg -hide_banner -encoders |grep H.26

 V..... flv                  FLV / Sorenson Spark / Sorenson H.263 (Flash Video) (codec flv1)

 V..... h261                H.261

 V..... h263                H.263 / H.263-1996

 V..... h263_v4l2m2m        V4L2 mem2mem H.263 encoder wrapper (codec h263)

 V.S... h263p                H.263+ / H.263-1998 / H.263 version 2

 V....D libx264              libx264 H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10 (codec h264)

 V..... h264_qsv            H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10 (Intel Quick Sync Video acceleration) (codec h264)

 V..... h264_v4l2m2m        V4L2 mem2mem H.264 encoder wrapper (codec h264)

 V....D h264_vaapi          H.264/AVC (VAAPI) (codec h264)

 V....D libx265              libx265 H.265 / HEVC (codec hevc)

 V....D hevc_vaapi          H.265/HEVC (VAAPI) (codec hevc)

Looks like autodetection of nv codec headers do not detect them, or something else is missing.
As a result ffmpeg is not nvidia accelerated.:(

Please help.

Check the build instructions for an option to enable nvenc or edit the buildscript to enable it.

Yes I always RTFM.
All properly done by manuals/suggestions here and Nvidia.
What bothers me, is on nVidias page as Prerequisites:
To compile FFmpeg, the CUDA toolkit must be installed on the system, though the CUDA toolkit is not needed to run the FFmpeg compiled binary.
Previous versions do not require Cuda Toolkit to compile only nvenc and nvdec without Cuda acceleration.

For simple test I used pure ffmpeg-5.1.3 source and get undefined error as nvenc is not a library or dependency:

Code:

./configure  --prefix="$HOME/bin"  --bindir="$HOME/bin"  --disable-doc  --enable-static  --disable-shared  --enable-openssl  --enable-libvorbis  --enable-libmp3lame  --enable-libx264  --enable-libx265  --enable-libvpx  --enable-libopus  --enable-libfdk-aac  --enable-libtheora  --enable-zlib  --enable-libfreetype  --enable-libpulse  --enable-libfribidi  --enable-libass --enable-nvenc  --enable-gpl  --enable-nonfree

root@zbook ./configure  --prefix="$HOME/bin"  --bindir="$HOME/bin"  --disable-doc  --enable-static  --disable-shared  --enable-openssl  --enable-libvorbis  --enable-libmp3lame  --enable-libx264  --enable-libx265  --enable-libvpx  --enable-libopus  --enable-libfdk-aac  --enable-libtheora  --enable-zlib  --enable-libfreetype  --enable-libpulse  --enable-libfribidi  --enable-libass --enable-nvenc  --enable-gpl  --enable-nonfree

ERROR: nvenc requested but not found

As Cuda toolkit is massive, I prefer not to install it, if not needed.

Installed cuda-12.2, the same error remains.:confused::banghead:

Do you have libvdpau installed?
It's a dependency of nvidia-driver according to https://docs.slackware.com/howtos:ha...aphics_drivers

Also you might try this:

Code:

For CUDA/OpenCL to work after reboot, and for utilites such as

nvidia-smi, you might need to include the following line in your

/etc/rc.d/rc.local:

(This is REQUIRED if you plan on running nvidia-persistenced)



    # Create missing nvidia device nodes after reboot

    /usr/bin/nvidia-modprobe -c 0 -u

Yes:
/dev/nvidia-modeset
/dev/nvidia-uvm
/dev/nvidia-uvm-tools
/dev/nvidia0
/dev/nvidiactl

/dev/nvidia-caps:
nvidia-cap1
nvidia-cap2

I tested all I found on net, but no success.
I also reverted kernel/driver to 530.41.03.
ffmpeg config do not detect nvidia kernel modules and drivers.
Explicitly specified enable-nvenc in configure returns:
nvenc requested but not found.

Can anybody help?

Part of config.log where error is:

Code:

:) Finally solved. :)

nv-codec-headers is responsible for many hours lost.
The right version is 11.1.5.3 - the last 11.X version.
Despite a new nvidia kernel/driver installed, nv-codec-headers must be < 12.X.
Works with the latest 545.23.06 kernel/driver.
All options are autodetected with original Pats ffmpeg.SlackBuild.
As I'm out of US, I set to compile patented and non_free code.

be sure to update nv-codec-headers to correspond with your Cuda version

Not for me. It didn't detect CUDA when I tried to build ffmpeg 6.1.1.

Update: I needed to update nv-codec-headers to 12.1.14.0, then the SlackBuild detected everything properly.
